What went down at the Q2'2019 GitLab Hackathon

The GitLab Q2 Hackathon took place on May 29-30, bringing together a vibrant community of contributors who submitted 44 merge requests (MRs), with over 30 being merged within two weeks, despite the event coinciding with a holiday week in many countries. The event encouraged just-in-time problem-solving, as highlighted by an issue being quickly picked up during a GitLab Monitor tutorial session. Participants whose MRs were merged received tokens of appreciation, with Marcel Amirault winning the grand prize for having the highest number of merged MRs, while Michel Engelen and Marc Schwede tied for second place. Feedback from the event suggested announcing future Hackathon dates earlier, leading to the announcement of the Q3 Hackathon for August 28-29, with further details to be shared as the date approaches. Those interested in contributing are encouraged to visit the Contributing to GitLab page for guidance on how to get involved in various aspects of the project, and can reach out to the community for support.
