Hacktoberfest is, by their own words: "a month-long celebration of open source software". It happens every year in October, and it is open for everybody to participate.
Long story short: after you register at their site (you can login via Github), you need to make 4 pull requests (they don't have to be merged) in October to any open source repository on Github and you will receive a Hacktoberfest T-shirt.
Nim would like to encourage you to participate in Hacktoberfest by contributing to our repo. You can help in various ways:
We have around 1300 open issues, which might be overwhelming to start, so here are some suggestions:
There is a list of needed libraries: can you help us shorten it?
Once you have written a library, you should send a PR to nimble package repo to include your package in the official list of packages!
If writing a library seems like a too demanding task, you can help improve one of the existing Nim packages by adding a feature, fixing a bug, or writing more informative documentation.
Happy hacking,
The Nim Team
BUMP!
Half of October is behind us, two more weeks to make your PRs to win a T-shirt.
