It’s that time of year again…for the freshest stickers in Hackerdom! And a sweet t-shirt to boot

Hacktoberfest — brought to you by DigitalOcean in partnership with Dev & Intel — is a month-long celebration of open source software. Maintainers are invited to guide would-be contributors towards issues that will help move the project forward, and contributors get the opportunity to give back to both projects they like and others they've just discovered. No contribution is too small — bug fixes and documentation updates are valid ways of participating.

Locally, this event usually occurs in person at theClubhou.se, The objective of the hackathon is familiarize those new to programming with how to use GitHub, a hosting platform for software development.

To get started you will need a GitHub account, register for the local event hosted by theClubhou.se here with MLH, and then RSVP for the local virtual events below.
