Event Description

What is Hacktoberfest with PEC ACM?

Hacktoberfest — brought to you by DigitalOcean in partnership with Dev & Intel — is a month-long celebration of open source software. No contribution is too small — bug fixes and documentation updates are valid ways of participating. PEC ACM is a part of this worldwide celebration. With this event, we aim to promote FOSS culture at PEC.
