❓FAQs
I’m new to coding / open source. Can I still join?
Absolutely! Hacktoberfest is beginner-friendly and designed for everyone. You don’t need years of coding experience. Curiosity and willingness to learn are all you need. We’ll have mentors, volunteers, and peers who can help you get started.
Do I need to come with a team or a project idea?
Nope! You can join solo, and we’ll help match you with others who want to collaborate. We’ll also share project ideas and challenges to spark inspiration if you’re not sure what to build.
Is this event only for experienced developers?
Definitely not. We’ll have people at all skill levels, from those just learning HTML/CSS or Python to senior engineers. The event is about collaboration, creativity, and celebrating open source together.
What if I can’t stay the whole time?
That’s okay. While we encourage you to join for the full day (so you can submit a project and enjoy the wrap-up), you’re welcome to participate at your own pace.
Is there a cost to attend?
Nope! Thanks to our sponsor DigitalOcean, this event is completely free to attend. Plus, you’ll get access to swag, prizes, and food during the day.
What should I bring?
Bring your laptop, charger, and curiosity. That’s it! We’ll provide the space, WiFi, snacks, and community vibes.
Do I need to RSVP here or on DigitalOcean’s page?
Please RSVP through this Denver Coding Coffee page to secure your spot. During the event, you’ll also fill out the Hackathon submission form to make your project eligible for prizes. - Denver Code and Coffee @ Capital One CafeCapital One Café, Denver, CO
Please RSVP ahead of time so we can get an accurate count on coffee.
Code and Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working and hanging out community. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Some people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and some come and (also optionally) socialize the entire time. We encourage everyone to attend our variety of workshops and events we host each meetup, but it's entirely up to you to just come in and hangout!
The Intro Circle
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup in a circle:- We first announce organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
- Your name
- What you can help others with
- What you would like help with
- Job opportunities you're hiring for
Round 2:
- Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized. We sometimes have FEATURES in a nearby room; checkout those events on Meetup as well.
🧑🤝🧑 Community Discord - come hang out before and after!:
