There is a yearly event in the Open Source community. The idea is to bring new people into the habit of contributing.

![hacktoberfest-2022-white](https://forum.xojo.com/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c1390a03b4453b83889ab6f7ecaa2751f0031654.png)

During October, you’ll be able to find “Issues” in both [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/) and [GitHub](https://github.com), with a `Hacktoberfest` label on them.

Most of the Hacktoberfest Issues are intended to be easy, so people can start learning to use Git, and create Pull Requests. You’ll even be able to find issues asking to fix documentation bugs.

If three of your pull requests are merged by the repository maintainer, you’ll be eligible to receive a prize (this year, a tree planted in your name, or the Hacktoberfest 2022 t-shirt).

Here is a list of [Xojo Open Source projects](https://documentation.xojo.com/resources/third_party/open_source_projects.html). If you’re using any of them and would like to see a bug or feature implemented, please create an issue there.

Make sure to read the event website and check how to participate:

> Hacktoberfest: a month-long celebration of open-source projects, their maintainers, and the entire community of contributors.

For Open Source owners / maintainers, please check how to tag Hacktoberfest issues, so the contributors can participate:

I really wish I had more time for fun things like this. It sounds like a blast. I hope a lot of folks here will jump in.
