ABOUT HACKTOBERFEST
Hacktoberfest (https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com) is a month-long celebration of open source software. This was launched at DigitalOcean with the aim of fostering a sense of community and encouraging greater participation in open source projects. The program is open to beginners and veterans alike, and we welcome all communities. We value learning, respect for those who came before and after us, and prioritizing quality over quantity.

To reward Hacktoberfest contributors, we designed a limited edition T-shirt for those who complete the challenge each year. This year, the first 50,000 participants will be able to receive the limited edition jersey.
