If you're participating in Hacktoberfest this month, don't forget that this is the final week to get those pull-requests in!
It's been amazing to watch the community come together and expand this past month in the name of open source software. We've been reading contributors' stories, eyeing maintainers' projects, reviewing some truly awesome Forem contributions, and dreaming about all those trees planted 💚 In other words, we don't want this month to end!
As we head into the final moments of this group celebration of open source, be sure to check out this thread of projects seeking contributors if you're on the hunt, seek out any help you need here, and catch our Hacktoberfest streams featuring the Forem team and guests from the community. Details below.

It was an amazing month!
For my side "night" project github.com/Hi-Folks/rando-php I received a lot of High Quality Pull Request (I merged 40 PR during Hacktoberfest!!!) from the Open Source PHP community.
I think that it is an amzing opportunity to meet and know new developers (with different skill, from learner to "pro"). On my side, apart of improve the project with new features, it was a great opportunity to learn more from community, specially for "best practices" and go deeper with Design Patterns etc. We are just at the begin, I think that the project could be improved a lot in "code quality" perspective and I can learn more. I love all of this!
PS: while i'm commenting this, about automated tests, the code coverage is 100%!!! ;)
This has been such a fun month! Thanks for the handy template, made it much easier to share what I've accomplished in the past few weeks.
