Event Description

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.

In one of the first of its kind of events, Rotaract District 3291 brings to you Rotaract District 3291 x Hacktoberfest to get started in this journey and be your sherpa!
