Hacktoberfest is back and celebrating its fifth year!
Support open source and earn a limited edition T-shirt · Hacktoberfest
Join us this October by participating in the fifth annual Hacktoberfest, a month-long celebration of open source software. Along with welcoming back our friends at DigitalOcean, Twilio has joined our partnership for its first year in celebrating Hacktoberfest.
It’s easy to join in on the fun (and get a limited-edition shirt!), all you have to do is check the Hacktoberfest website for details on how to enter. Then, submit 5 pull requests to open source projects from October 1-31. That’s it! The first 50,000 people to complete the challenge will earn a limited edition Hacktoberfest shirt. Terms and conditions will be posted on the website prior to the start of the contest.
If you’ve never contributed to an open source project before, you don’t have to miss out on all the fun—check out our contributing to open source guide.
