Hacktoberfest is an annual event held every October that encourages people from all over the world to contribute to open-source projects. Open-source projects are software or systems that anyone can access, use, and improve. Hacktoberfest gives everyone a chance to help make these projects better, whether you’re a developer, writer, designer, or simply passionate about technology.

You don’t need to be a coding expert to participate! Contributions can range from fixing bugs and writing code to improving documentation or even suggesting new ideas. By getting involved, you can learn new skills, collaborate with others, and give back to the tech community.

Hacktoberfest is a fun, beginner-friendly event that’s powered by GitHub and DigitalOcean, and it’s open to anyone who wants to make a difference in the world of open-source.
