Hacktoberfest 2018 at UCL
What’s Hacktoberfest?
Hacktoberfest — brought to you by DigitalOcean in partnership with GitHub and Twilio — is a month-long celebration of open source software.
You are invited to help move projects forward, and have the opportunity to give back to both projects you like, and ones you’ve just discovered.
Don’t know any projects you’d like to contribute to?
- that’s ok, we’ll help you find some!
No contribution is too small — bug fixes and documentation updates are valid ways of participating.
Where and when

Where: Room W3.06 in IOE - 20 Bedford Way

Rules and Prizes
First sign up on the Hacktoberfest site.
If you open up five pull requests between October 1 and October 31, you’ll win a free, limited edition Hacktoberfest T-shirt. (Pull requests do not have to be merged and accepted; as long as they’ve been opened between the very start of October 1 and the very end of October 31, they count towards a free T-shirt.)
