[VIRTUAL] Starfish Office Hours
Hacktoberfest Online Meetup
Event Description
Indeed’s Open Source Program Office is excited to be a Hacktoberfest 2020 Community Partner! Indeed is committed to supporting the open source community and taking a more active role.
Starfish is an open source project we’re supporting during Hacktoberfest. Dani Gellis, the project's founder is hosting bi-weekly open office hours. We welcome attendees of all skill levels - from brand new to open source, to maintainers or creators of other projects. Our team looks forward to chatting and meeting everyone!
This year we're tagging more issues than ever and offering up swag to the general public! Find out how to score a sweet sweatshirt at https://go.indeed.com/hacktoberfest
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.
