One, Mattermost Inc, is a a startup with over 1 hundred full time employees and millions of dollars in funding. The other, tridactyl, is a volunteer community. Even though these managing institutions are quite different, my interactions with both were uniformly delightful. </p> <h3> Contributions </h3> <p><a href="https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-webapp/pull/6862">https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-webapp/pull/6862</a><br> <a href="https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/pull/2934">https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/pull/2934</a><br> <a href="https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-webapp/pull/6963">https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-webapp/pull/6963</a><br> <a href="https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-webapp/pull/6966">https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-webapp/pull/6966</a></p> <h3> Reflections </h3> <p>I was extremely impressed by the welcoming, friendly, and professional interactions I had during Hacktoberfest. I'm excited to see how many friends and coworkers I can get to start contributing to open source with me. </p> hacktoberfest
