Recapping the first GitLab Hackathon

The first GitLab Hackathon, held at the end of September, successfully fostered community engagement by encouraging participants, including many newcomers, to submit over 20 Merge Requests (MRs), with 15 being merged within ten days. Participants not only contributed code but also attended tutorial sessions covering diverse topics such as GitLab Development Kit, documentation, and UX design, which are available on the Hackathon wiki page. The event also helped identify several issues and bugs for future follow-up. Plans are in place to hold quarterly Hackathons, with the next one scheduled for November 14-15. Contributors whose MRs were merged received GitLab merchandise as a token of appreciation, with George Tsiolis recognized as the standout contributor for merging seven MRs. The GitLab community is encouraged to provide feedback and suggest topics for future events via the GitLab Community room on Gitter, while resources for getting started with contributions can be found on the Contributing to GitLab page.
