How To Get Involved in Hacktoberfest

This year Netlify is participating in Hacktoberfest, an event designed to encourage participation in open source projects. Hacktoberfest has seen contributors from over 100 countries submit over 90,000 pull requests last year, and this year's goal is to make it even bigger. The event is organized by Digital Ocean in partnership with GitHub and encourages developers to participate in open source projects by submitting four pull requests marked as "Hacktoberfest" between October 1-31, resulting in a commemorative t-shirt. Netlify CMS has added the Hacktoberfest label to several issues that need help, including adding support for JSON(other) formats, prompting users to save changes on browser close, and fixing entries with .markdown extension not working. The company invites anyone to contribute to these issues or join their public meetings to discuss progress and priorities.
