(...) <br> To participate, four pull requests must be submitted to public GitHub repositories.<br> You can sign up anytime between October 1 and October 31.^{<a href="https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/faq#general">[1]</a>}</em></p> <h2> Hacktoberfest &amp; me </h2> <p>I'm pretty active in twitter, and some of my friends posted every year about a thing called <em>hacktoberfest</em>. Two years ago I tried looking into it: </p> <blockquote> <p>Free shirt? sign me in! <br> Contributing in open source? uhhh... </p> </blockquote> <p>I had experience with GitHub, but not so much with contributing in other people's repositories. I was not ready. </p> <p>Last year I tried again and went looking for the <em>hacktoberfest</em> tag, after skipping a lot of big projects (or at least too big for my confidence level) I managed one PR. Very disappointing, but I had to start somewhere.</p> <p>This year I was ready, I had been checking out <a href="https://t.me/firstissues">telegram's bot for first issues</a> for some time already, so I knew in which kind of projects I wanted to contribute.<br> Even though I ended up more busy than I would like with my job, I did submit the four necessary PR. I can't say I'm not proud about it, even though they were in quite simple projects. 🎉🎉 </p> <h2> And now what? </h2> <p>It would be great to write that I will now start contributing to open source on a weekly basis, but that's not what's going to happen. <br> I yet need the confidence -and time- to contribute in bigger projects, but I can say that I learnt a lot during this month -although I still have some questions: <em>what I'm supposed to do when they ask to fix something in a file, but the rest of the file is also full of errors? Do I fix them? Do I create an issue?</em>-.</p> <p>I might not be ready to contribute in everything I'd like, but I'm keeping an eye on some interesting projects and I guess the anxiety of contributing will decrease with each new PR. </p> <p>And now, until next year! 👩‍💻</p> hacktoberfest
