Hacktober at CET
Hacktoberfest Online Meetup
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.
Can't make it to this online meetup? Hacktoberfest is virtual and open to participants from around the globe. Sign up to participate today.

We at IEEE SB CET aim to provide a technical home, a place where each student member can develop and hone skills that will earmark them for prominent positions in their careers. Through volunteering in the variety of workshops and events that we host, speaking in and attending chapter sessions, our members get to explore new realms of interest and adapt to different situations enabling them to easily fit into any technical or professional role, even after their student life.
