Expand your open source contributions during Hacktoberfest 2022

Hacktoberfest, hosted annually by DigitalOcean, is celebrating its ninth year, encouraging open source contributions throughout October. With over 2.6 billion contributions on GitHub in the past year, the event invites participants to contribute not just code but also non-code efforts like documentation, design, and advocacy to support open source projects. GitHub is actively participating by offering opportunities to contribute to its documentation and working with DigitalOcean to promote volunteer opportunities for digital public goods aimed at fostering a more equitable world. With over 90,000 projects participating this year, Hacktoberfest includes events like the Global Kick-Off on October 4 and the Hack Party Asia Pacific Edition on October 12. Abigail Cabunoc Mayes from GitHub emphasizes the importance of contributions to the open source community, highlighting their significant impact on digital ecosystems.
