COVID19 made IT conferences and meetups virtual. It feels still more natural to me to meet people, exchange ideas and socialize. Surprisingly, an e-mail landed to my inbox one day:
Hello Fridolín!
My name is Tiago, I'm organizing once again the Hacktoberfest in Prague and I found your profile on GitHub and would like to ask you if you're interested in joining us in the event and maybe do a small talk (around 20-25min) related to open source.

That's how the invite to "(Late) Hacktoberfest 2021 x Monsterlab Prague" looked like. The conversation with Tiago resulted in an accepted talk titled "Full-time Open Source". The whole meetup was in a very friendly atmosphere with different topics from various areas of open-source (... of course, the pizza was tasty! 😋🍕).
Check Hacktoberfest 2021 @ Monsterlab Prague playlist on YouTube with talks recorded. Big thanks to Tiago and other meetup organizers. I would definitely recommend watching interesting talks and hopefully seeing everyone who is interested in open-source joining this meetup next year.
If you are not familiar with Hacktoberfest, visit their homepage to change the world with open-source and win a cool t-shirt or (newly) plant a tree! 👕🌲

Thanks for the talk! It was really nice to receive you (and the pizzas were indeed tasty 😂).
