Hacktoberfest @ Ruby a la Cluj

What is this?

Since it's October, we definitely need to hack during Hacktoberfest. The point is to contribute to open source projects related to Ruby and Rails, ofc! Submit 5 PRs during the whole of October and get a t-shirt from the awesome global sponsors. No worries if you don't have a project, we have your back. Also, if you already have some app that you started and it's on a public repo, that is considered OS too, so good news, you can go on working on it :) Whatever it is, we are waiting for you!

What is Hacktoberfest?

Hacktoberfest — brought to you by DigitalOcean in partnership with GitHub and Twilio — is a month-long celebration of open source software. Maintainers are invited to guide would-be contributors towards issues that will help move the project forward, and contributors get the opportunity to give back to both projects they like, and ones they've just discovered. No contribution is too small—bug fixes and documentation updates are valid ways of participating.

Rules and Prizes

First sign up on the Hacktoberfest site. If you open up five pull requests between October 1 and October 31, you'll win a free, limited edition Hacktoberfest T-shirt. (Pull requests do not have to be merged and accepted; as long as they've been opened between the very start of October 1 and the very end of October 31, they count towards a free T-shirt.)

Connect with other Hacktoberfest participants (Hacktobefestants?) by using the hashtag, #hacktoberfest, on your social media platform of choice.

What if I have never contributed to open source?!

The good news is you can contribute to a project you might have started a while ago and is in a public repository. You can of course contribute to your favourite tools or frameworks, be it with documentation, code of bug fixes. We will also have a list of open source projects for the most popular projects.
