Cockroach Labs + Hacktoberfest: A Celebration of Open Source

Cockroach Labs is participating in Hacktoberfest, an annual event by DigitalOcean celebrating open-source contributions. The month-long event encourages developers of all skill levels to contribute positively to the community. Cockroach Labs has already seen improvements in their documentation and appreciates the support from this community. Open source initiatives often build active communities that foster lifelong friendships, but they can also be taken advantage of by bad actors. To keep open-source alive and well, it's crucial to evolve how we think about contributions, licensing, and community participation rules. Cockroach Labs invites everyone to contribute to their projects during Hacktoberfest, offering various resources and support for new contributors.
