Hi there! Hacktoberfest is the annual excuse created by Digital Ocean to contribute to an Open Source project. According to the most recent survey of Stack Overflow 36% of their respondents have never contributed to Open Source and 28% did that less than once a year. If you are among these 54% it is a very good opportunity to participate in the Hacktoberfest and use that as an excuse to learn how to make a change or to have at least 4 contributions this year. If you are an experienced contributor, then just keep doing your thing. On the long run it pays off. There are 3 posts dealing with Perl and the Hacktoberfest. Find the one that fits you and let us know about your progress! Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |
