Introduction - First Contribution
First contribution aimed at understanding of what is Hacktoberfest, and how it works, simply get a first touch. I just have taken a first project my eye caught and was looking at documentation to find the spelling mistakes. Opened an issue explaining everything that I am about to fix in his documentation, and pull-request.
Post-Event
After my first PR was approved by the maintainer, I've received an e-mail by Hacktoberfest bot announcing my PR review. It took about 7 days to approve my first pull request, after it I received another e-mail and got the 1-level Hacktoberfest badge.
Conclusion
It is a first of five post regarding Hacktoberfest progress. I figured all how this process works, and now ready to make more significant contribution to other projects.
