Frankfurt Rhein-Main Gophers Meetup

Hei hei lovely Gophers, we are very happy to announce our October meetup, which will be something new and amazing: We will contribute to open source projects as part of the Hacktoberfest. # Who can attend? Every Gopher who wants to contribute to Go open source projects. It doesn't matter which level of experience you have. The only thing which matters is that you bring a notebook and want to contribute to Go based open source projects! We will provide guidance for every level of experience. # I have never contributed to an open source project. Can I really attend? Yes of course! This event is totally perfect for you. We want to help you contribute to open source projects. # I'm really at the beginning of my Go learning curve. I won't be able to contribute anything! That's wrong! Don't let this thinking stopping you of attending. There will be possibilities for you to contribute. You will even make progress in your learning as you apply it directly to real projects. If you are still in doubt, we are happy to take your questions and provide support where possible. # Yes, I will attend. What does the day will look like?

We will provide some food, but that probably shouldn't be the first thing you eat that day. ;) If you have any allergies or preferences, please share them with us. We will try to take care of them and if we are having problems with that, we will contact you! # Please note Sitting together and collaborating for 4 hours should be enjoyable - Hey, this is a weekend!
