Lightning Talks: Hacktoberfest Edition

Event Description

We will be having lightning talks from local community members in the Oklahoma area streamed on Twitch while participants can listen to talks and ask questions on the Twitch or the Techlahoma Slack while they work. Instructions will be given on how to join at the start of the event. After the talks we will transition to a free work period.

Hacktoberfest — brought to you by DigitalOcean in partnership with Dev & Intel — 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.
