Hacktoberfest has grown from 676 participants in 2014 to nearly 147,000 participants last year. To help ensure Hacktoberfest can be sustained for another decade, this year we’re moving away from a free t-shirt reward to a digital reward.
This year we’re celebrating 10 years of open source love and we want to hear your Hacktoberfest story!
We’re teaming up with Major League Hacking for Global Hack Week! Complete Open-Source themed daily challenges and enjoy live streamed workshops.
No Hacktoberfest is complete without joining the community to learn and explore together. Save the dates and come connect!
