Hacktoberfest 2023

[jonathanbossenger]

Hacktobertfest is a yearly event focused on supporting open-source projects during the month of October. Participants join from around the world to fix bugs, submit features, and generally help improve open-source projects of their choice.

Hacktoberfest isn’t all about code. Anyone who writes, designs, tests, mentors, or organizes offers much-needed support for open-source projects all over the world.

This issue has been opened to prepare the Learn WordPress Github repository for Hacktoberfest and will be updated as new details and requirements emerge for this year's event.

This is going to be a good for those who are not able to write codes.

Hacktoberfest 2023

Hacktoberfest is an annual worldwide event held during the month of October. The event encourages interested individuals to contribute to open-source projects by having 4 pull requests (PRs) accepted on GitHub and GitLab repositories.

Since 2022, Hacktoberfest has allowed non-code contributions to count towards the 4 required PRs. meaning that things like documentation updates, meeting agendas, and content creation can also count towards participation for Hacktoberfest.

So join us in working on 4 GitHub issues on the Learn WordPress repository, and take part in the fun.

How to participate

1. Visit the Hacktoberfest website and register your GitHub account
2. Find an open issue labeled hacktoberfest that you'd like to work on. If you find an issue that interests you and does not already have a hacktoberfest label, ping @jonathanbossenger and we will add it for you
3. Create a pull request linking the issue you are working on.
4. Remember, to complete Hacktoberfest, you need 4 accepted/merged Pull Requests. So only open one pull request per issue you are working on.

My one issue marked as hacktoberfest, I created pull request for that. Can I update others issues in md file as well?

[jonathanbossenger]

Can I update others issues in md file as well?

If you mean there are other issues you're working on this month that you would like to include, please go ahead and create separate PRs for each one, adding them to the hacktoberfest-2023.md file.

[jonathanbossenger]

Please also add me as the reviewer, so I get a notification to review. I'll see them anyway on Thursdays when I do dev-squad triage, but it will help the process.

I worked only on one issue this month. I already added that on md file and created a PR. I did not worked on above mentioned ticket #1890 My question is, can I update md file for this issue and create a new PR?

[kaitohm]

Can this be closed now, @jonathanbossenger ?

[kaitohm]

Oh, now that October is over, could we remove the hacktoberfest label from all remaining open issues? That will reset the slate for next year, and also visually clear up the project boards - if they're no longer needed this year.

[jonathanbossenger]

Yep, we can close this now, and remove all hacktoberfest labels.

[kaitohm]

Great! The label has been removed from all open issues ✅
