Summary

The GitLab community held a record-breaking Q1 Hackathon on February 12-13, marked by nearly 150 merge requests (MRs) across over 20 GitLab projects, showcasing the extensive contributions from community members. This event surpassed previous records and highlighted significant contributions to projects such as Charts, Gitaly, Gitter, and more, with notable Epics like replacing Underscore with Lodash and migrating .fa-spinner to .spinner driving many MRs. The Hackathon also featured a remote meetup with the GitLab Hamburg group, emphasizing community engagement and collaboration. Participants who had MRs merged by February 25 received GitLab-branded duffle bags, with special recognition given to top contributors Takuya Noguchi and Rajendra Kadam for their outstanding efforts. The next Hackathon is scheduled for May 13-14, 2020, and GitLab encourages new contributors to start by visiting the Contributing to GitLab page for guidance on how to participate.
