Open Source Hackfest
Hosted by MLH
Event Description
Howdy, friends!
With Hacktoberfest around the corner, we invite you to learn and explore the world of open source by creating hacks that promotes the principle of sharing knowledge for the benefit of the wider community! Come together to develop new open source hacks or build interesting hacks using just open source software!
Whether you build something on the theme or not, focus on having fun. While we'd love to have you build something on the theme, our themes are only here for inspiration. Please build whatever you'd like!
