Summary

Join the celebration of Hacktoberfest’s 5th anniversary at the GitHub office in Amsterdam on October 2, from 19:00 to 22:00, featuring food, drinks, and learning opportunities for both new and experienced contributors to open source. Attendees will enjoy presentations from local open source maintainers, learn how to contribute to open source, and make pull requests, with plenty of support from experienced mentors, including GitHub’s @DEGoodmanWilson and Phusion’s @floord. The event promises an engaging evening filled with snacks, stickers, and the chance to hack on favorite projects while fostering a collaborative community spirit. If unable to attend, enthusiasts are encouraged to join or organize similar events globally, with numerous events already happening in cities like Bangkok, Bhubaneswar, and Luxembourg, supported by resources available through the Hacktoberfest Event Kit.
