Get together with the GitLab community to contribute, learn and win exciting prizes. Join us from January 22nd 2025 through January 28th 2025!

The Hackathon is a virtual event open to anyone interested in contributing code, documentation, translations, UX designs, and more to GitLab. Participating in GitLab's Hackathon allows you to work on issues that *matter* to you and advance your skills/experience while joining a global, diverse, inclusive team of contributors and GitLab team members. The Hackathon is scheduled to run for 7 days, to be inclusive. This accommodates participants who contribute during both their work hours and free time.

**NEW** for this hackathon:
The scoring will be aligned with the [individual leaderboard](https://contributors.gitlab.com/leaderboard), recognizing all contribution types, including:

* Issue, note, label, and closing points
* Event and content points
* Forum and Discord points
* Translation points
* Bonus points

All activities on the hackathon leaderboard will be awarded at the same point value as activities on the main leaderboard.

**To receive any points for the hackathon, contributors must merge at least 1 MR during the hackathon.**
