My First Hacktoberfest Experience

This is a submission for the 2024 Hacktoberfest Writing challenge: Contributor Experience

So this was my first Hacktoberfest
Being an Engineering student unaware of most of the concepts and aspects of open source this experience was a great one as I got to work on the CMS website of our own College under the leadership of my senior

As being a react dev myself, this open source was a challenge for me as i had to work on a laravel project under a lot of pressure repo link here: https://github.com/Ajiet-DevNation/DevNation-CMS

Setting community standards and helping my fellow mates on promoting open source contributions is the role i took this time
It was definitely a very good experience to make new developers introduce to the world of open source

At first I did not understand the concept of Hacktoberfest but after this experience of mine I get it
There cant be any other idea i can think of to promote open source

looking forward to work with my fellow developer friends to gain experience and face new challenges both

Thankyou
