Meeting Overview:

October is here and so it's officially Hacktoberfest 2026! This event runs throughout October each year to promote open source software and quality contributions. This year the event has a focus on AI. More information is available on the event's website: https://hacktoberfest.com/ Beyond this night consider joining in and contributing to some open source projects!

Tonight we'll spend time making some open source contributions as a group. We can locate a repo, or even use our own meetup website's codebase, and work to make a change together.
