Summary

Last year's challenge saw 483,127 pull requests opened and 61,871 participants complete it. To get started, simply begin contributing to any open source project, with resources available for first-timers. Supabase is hosting online events, including a live stream on GitHub Open Source Friday, and a Hacktoberfest Online Meetup. The company also has a GitHub project board where contributors can find existing issues or new ideas to work on, with the opportunity to win a limited edition T-Shirt by tagging their contributions with the Hacktoberfest label.
