Hacktoberfest has become a staple in open source. It's an annual tradition loved by many (and it's not for everyone, that's fine).
But here is the deal:
- Everyone is welcome
- Quantity is fun, but quality is key
- Short-term action, Long-term impact
These are values we can get behind at DEV.
In terms of the challenge itself, follow the rules, and make enough valid pull requests this month, and claim some really fun and unique prizes from DigitalOcean.
Here are the full participation rules

Read the article. As a new contributor that was really informative and encouraging. Thanks a lot.
Thanks.
Do you know what to do next?
Personally I would go with that flow:
1) pick a project that I like
2) explore it and learn/understand how it works (review the codebase)
3) discuss my suggestion and opinions in open issues with the maintainers( as said in your article)
4) if all of the above goes well, start programing
ok, then your next step is to pick the project you like.
Good luck
like the idea, we can implement a brazilian version!
