Hacktoberfest Hands-On Workshop (in-person and virtual)

Bring your laptops for this hand-on workshop! Read on for details!

Zoom meeting will start just before 6p.

If you're interested in sharing content for this or a future event, please message Jesse Lang!

Autumn is a wonderful time of year, the cooler temps, leaves falling from the trees, leaving that unmistakable smell in the air, and crunch as you go out for a brisk walk. Another great thing that happens this time of year is Hacktoberfest! It's a great chance to branch out in the Open-Source Community, find new projects that could use a hand, and see where your skills could help them along. Last month we did a brief and casual overview of Hacktoberfest, how to get involved. This month we'll come together and workshop the process of finding an open-source project, and getting folks started contributing! Bring your laptop and let's have some fun hacking!
