In this online workshop, GDG-IEM will guide participants through Hacktoberfest 2024, an annual event that encourages contributions to open-source projects. We'll start by introducing the event's objectives and explaining how you can participate by submitting pull or merge requests to GitHub or GitLab repositories. The session will cover both code and non-code contributions, so whether you're a developer, designer, or writer, there's a place for you in Hacktoberfest.
We'll also walk you through the process of finding beginner-friendly issues to work on, making quality contributions, and tracking your progress throughout the month. Additionally, you'll learn how to collaborate with project maintainers and avoid common mistakes. By the end of the workshop, you'll be ready to confidently contribute to open-source projects and earn rewards such as digital badges. Whether you're new to open-source or looking to expand your involvement, this workshop will equip you with everything you need to know to succeed in Hacktoberfest 2024.
