Hacktoberfest is DigitalOcean's annual event promoting open-source contributions, with Umbraco participating for eight years. In 2024, contributors can earn rewards by making two accepted contributions. Events include hackathons and online support sessions. Contributions can range from coding to documentation, with rewards like training raffles and tree planting.
In this episode, Erica Quessenberry, co-founder of Skrift, discusses Hacktoberfest and the upcoming virtual hackathon hosted by Candid Contributions. The event will take place on October 10th and 11th. Listeners are encouraged to engage with the community and explore Skrift magazine for potential authorship opportunities.
