did you ever celebrate HacktoberFest ?

Let's talk a bit about Hacktoberfest, presented by @DigitalOcean:

Hacktoberfest® is open to everyone in our global community. Whether you’re a developer, student learning to code, event host, or company of any size, you can help drive growth of open source and make positive contributions to an ever-growing community. All backgrounds and skill levels are encouraged to complete the challenge.

A few lines about myself 👨‍💻

My name is Jonas, just like Weezer's cool song. Since I have memory, life has been always using computer and trying new things using the tools that technology offers. My studies are in Information Technology and usually I'm building software at my current job at Wizeline, some other times I'm just playing videogames (Valorant) and spending time with friends and family.

Background 🧑‍🚀

Officially first time contributing to open source and participating in Hacktoberfest, also proud to.

Progress 🧑🏻‍🔧

Hacktoberfest has finished and despite this horrible 2020 full of disappointments, Hacktoberfest is always a good thing to celebrate, a must in October, well I'm just speaking on behalf of all contributors.

Contributions 🧑‍💻

They were more like first timer contributions but following the process and reading about all the documentation and issues in different open source projects was exciting. Hope to contribute more in the future.

Reflections ✨

Certainly I will participate again and try to get involved in open source more often.

Cheers mates and happy hacking!
