What went down at the Q4'2019 GitLab Hackathon

The GitLab Q4 Hackathon, held on November 13-14, set a new record with 109 Merge Requests (MRs) submitted, of which 79 were merged by November 25th. The event saw active participation from new community members and featured tutorial sessions with recordings available online. A notable contribution was an Epic created by Senior Frontend Engineer Winnie Hellmann, which provided manageable issues for participants and resulted in nearly 30 MRs. Another highlight was Utkarsh Gupta's MR, which focused on using gender-neutral pronouns in the GitLab handbook. Gupta was also the grand prize winner, having merged 28 MRs, breaking the previous record of 13. The event awarded GitLab branded tech organizers to participants with merged MRs, with Lee Tickett securing second place with 15 MRs. The next Hackathon is scheduled for February 12-13, 2020, and those interested in contributing can start by visiting the Contributing to GitLab page.
