Did you earn your Hacktoberfest t-shirt?

Last day of October, did you make your PRs?

Just about! Unfortunately only four of my PRs were to projects that weren't on my account, so I suppose I somewhat cheated.

However, my "How Old Is it?" project received 141 pull requests from 90 people, not counting my own. At least one of those was the final PR someone needed to get their t-shirt, so I am pretty thrilled.

I hope that absolves me of my skirting of the rules. </self-horn-tooting>

I hope everyone had a happy Hacktoberfest! Same time next year? 😎

I got 3 PRs in the past 5 hours of the 31st and now it's radio silence from them :( not sure how long should I wait

Did you get 5 PRs submitted total?

The challenge is just to submit, not to merge, so you may be all good!

I did! I wanted to do more, but I spent the first half of the month in the hospital, so I only got like 6 public PRs in. Hopefully I'll do better next month.

Shameless plug for the Pyvideo data project. It's super welcoming for beginners. We index Python videos in every language we can find. Most of the videos we capture are conference talks or meetup presentations. Check it out and consider helping us refine the data, especially if you speak Spanish, Russian, or Japanese.

Luckily, I completed the challenge few days ago and right after that I fell ill.

Got all my PRs in and my shirt is on its way in a few weeks. I actually get asked about these shirts at meetups and talks, people want to know what projects I contributed to. It's a nice ice breaker.

What project did you contribute to for Microsoft ??? I had a hard time looking for one that was beginner friendly. Any suggestions, the oss portal seemed like a good one but the dev environment setup docs were non existent.

Same here, I wanted to get one from MS but couldn't find anything noob-worthy.

Same haha I really liked the gophers on the shirt, wanted one. Sadly looking at go code isn't something I'm familiar with quite yet.

I found some Azure starters/samples that weren't too bad to contribute to. There are a lot out there with outdated dependencies and pretty skimpy docs.

I contributed to the Nugget docs I fixed a typo error

Same! I was looking for Android projects and the libraries and repos seemed archaic! I had so many questions and the project has a modicum amount of issues raised 3 years ago.

I completed the challenge first day. Perks of being full-time #OpenSourcerer. My first PR of October was for Dev.to I think. Also contributed to Microsoft repos. Did you already get a t-shirt from MSFT? I have not. What am I missing?

I did. As usual my plans for Hacktoberfest were much larger than what I was actually able to do.
October is right when we start getting busy at work so my ToDo list got big fast.

Yes! I've been mainly pushing directly to Learn Code from Us though for efficiency purposes, or else I'd have a lot more there! Same with Zen of Programming.

Yeah, definitely easier to commit directly early on projects (or forever depending on project workflow and roles)

Unfortunately, I did not. I had a 3 or 4 PRs accepted on a GitLab OSS project, but that doesn't count! 😭

Oh! Doesn't GitLab have its own event every quarter or so?

Mine says it's going to arrive today! I'm really excited to wear it tomorrow.

For anyone looking to do some last-minute PRs: My friendship circle implementation of the webring concept has some open issues, and I think 24 and 28 should be pretty accessible!

You should get a follow-up email from Kotis Design that has a link to track your package, I believe.
