contribute! Whether you're a pro developer or just starting
out,
this is a great opportunity to get involved with the
open-source
community and make meaningful contributions throughout
October.
What’s Hacktoberfest?
Hacktoberfest is a global event celebrating open-source,
hosted
by DigitalOcean. It encourages developers of all skill
levels to
contribute to open-source repositories on GitHub or GitLab.
It's
the perfect chance to gain hands-on experience, collaborate
with
others, and showcase your work.

through Holopin, representing your contributions and
progress in the event.
