PyLadies Hacktoberfest
Hacktoberfest Online Meetup
Event Description
Join this Hacktoberfest virtual event, organized by PyLadies Paris!
Hacktoberfest 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 others they've just discovered. No contribution is too small — bug fixes and documentation updates are valid ways of participating.
Rules and Rewards
First, sign up on the Hacktoberfest site at https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com. To qualify for the official limited edition Hacktoberfest shirt, you must register and make four pull requests between October 1-31. Pull requests can be to any public repo on GitHub, not just the ones with issues labeled Hacktoberfest. If a maintainer reports your pull request as spam or spammy behavior, or not in line with the project’s code of conduct, you will be ineligible to participate.
Connect with other Hacktoberfest participants by using @DigitalOcean, @hacktoberfest, @PyLadiesParis #hacktoberfest on your social media platform of choice.
The kick-off of the event will be live on YouTube on Ocotber 1, 2020 at 6PM - link to be shared soon. Join us!
You can already join us on Slack where we will chat throughout the month to help you contribute to open source projects. We will not be using the Mattermost link posted below.
