Hacktoberfest is for everyone. Whether it’s your first time or your ninth— it’s almost time to hack out four pristine pull/merge requests and complete your mission for open source. 🚀
Hacktoberfest 2022
With the start of September, all opensource enthusiasts started getting the vibes of Hacktoberfest approaching. 🍁
Participating in Hacktoberfest is a great way to get involved with the open source community wherever you are on your tech journey. And why only tech, this year the team has come up with Non-Code Contributions too! 🤍
What is Hacktoberfest 🤔
Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration run by DigitalOcean to celebrate and give back to opensource projects and software. The initiative is open to everyone, and the goal is to encourage everyone in the global community to contribute to open source.

Everyone is welcome regardless of experience or skill, whether it's your first or ninth time. To participate, head over to Hacktoberfest.com and then Start Hacking.

As I have mentioned above, Hacktoberfest has recently started accepting no-code and low-code contributions, so everyone is included, regardless of their work and experience.
You can contribute in various ways, just remember that at any date and time, quality >>> quantity.
Talking about My Hacktoberfest2022
This year, was my third time @Hactoberfest, and exactly like the previous years, I enjoyed, and learned a lot!
If you wish to see my previous years Hacktoberfest experiences, you can read my articles. (The links are at the bottom of the article) 👇👇
Needless to say if you participate once, you'll never want to stop. Goes the same for me and I was excited, and was eagerly waiting for the registrations to open. I was watching the timer on the registration page!
In my opinion, the driving force, when participating in such programs should not be the swag, but the things that one is going to learn.
How can YOU participate 🌌
There are multiple ways in which one can participate.
Listing a few of them:
- Code contributions
- Documentation
- Adding new feature in an existing open source project
- Graphic design
Believe me, it's never too late. Register yourself now, and get started. Hacktoberfest2022
