Hello, dear devs!
We wanted to stop by to share a friendly (and somewhat shocking) reminder: Hacktoberfest 2021 ends in six days 😱 This month has sure flown by.
It's been so much fun following your Hacktoberfest journeys right here on DEV. Special shoutout to those of who who have been contributing to the Forem repository this past month — while Hacktoberfest is all about celebrating open source software, learning by doing, and improving the entire OSS ecosystem.
It can't be ignored that contributing to open source at any level is real work. Thank you all for your time and commitment to learning — project maintainers benefit from high-quality contributions and that should not be ignored. Similarly, project maintainers devote their time to reviewing contributions and they deserve a round of applause as well 👏
