🥳 Hacktoberfest is back for 2020
Hacktoberfest kicked-off officially on Oct 1, 2020. Similar to last year, this year as well I was excited. Apart from the cool T-shirt and stickers, I enjoyed meeting new people and collaborate together, which is really awesome experience to have and I think is currently the best way (only way 😋) to socialize in this COVID-19 😷 pandemic situation.
But 🤦♀️...
This year...there has been lots of negativity and backlash from the community around Hacktoberfest event itself, mainly due to spammy and utterly useless pull-request created on open-source projects just for claiming free goodies. The open-source community and Netizens have been furious and vocal about it. Even created a twitter account @shitoberfest documenting spam pull-request caused by hacktoberfest.
and then... 📣 Hacktoberfest announced some changes to the event
https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/hacktoberfest-update
- Maintainers can opt-in to participate by classifying their projects with the
hacktoberfest
topic. - Your pull requests will count toward your participation if they are in a repository with the
hacktoberfest
topic and once they have been merged, approved by a maintainer or labelled ashacktoberfest-accepted
. - any pull request with the
hacktoberfest-accepted
label, submitted to any public GitHub repository, with or without thehacktoberfest
topic, will be considered valid for Hacktoberfest.
Finally... here's my journey so far.
