Much of today's software and infrastructure rely on Open Source built and maintained by passionate people who don't have enough support. Hacktoberfest is about giving back to those - it's DigitalOcean's annual event that encourages people to contribute to Open Source throughout October. We're welcoming two online speakers about Open Source and share our own experiences. For the offline participants we're gonna pay for ordering some dinner (got sponsoring from Google for it). Join us at Die Kabine! 

- Talk #1 from Dennis: DigitalOcean, Hacktoberfest, and how to benefit from communities!

Engaging in communities is hands-down one of the best career boosts. From networking with people, to elevating your skills, it's a win-win. Tune in to get to know how Dennis went from a Jr. SRE to Contractor at DigitalOcean, AND a Sr. System Engineer (yes, at the same time) in 3 years, simply by engaging in their community.

- Talk #2 from Todor: Be faster! with these productivity tools: i3wm, vim, and others

Check out the sharpest tools in the box when it comes to high-productivity free and open source OS setups. In this talk Todor shows you how to be in control of your desktop with i3wm and gives an answer to the question why some people still insist on using vim, decades after it was first released.

The event will be hybrid at Die Kabine, Königsworther Straße 37, 30167 Hannover and online.
