Hacktoberfest
Hacktoberfest is an annual global event organized by DigitalOcean and GitHub that encourages people to contribute to open-source software. Participants work on open-source projects by fixing bugs, adding features, or improving documentation. In return, they earn rewards like limited edition shirts and certificates. The goal is to promote collaboration, learning, and community engagement within the tech world, helping both new and experienced developers improve and share software that anyone can use and modify. It’s a festive way to support open-source projects, gain experience, and connect with others passionate about technology.
