CAN'T WAIT! MY FIRST TIME JOINING TOO!
Everyone is going to be like this when it starts:
HAPPY HACKTOBERFEST (SOON)!!!
So hyped for this! Hacktoberfest 2026 is going to be huge.
Absolutely
Woooooooooooooooo! So excited for this year's refocus
Yupsss, super duper excited! 🤩
It's been awesome to see just how much work has been going on behind the scenes to make this year possible. Very excited!
Let's goo!
So excited to get to bring this new version of Hacktoberfest to the community this year!
Woohoo! Can't wait
Yes, this is exactly right. We really want something new in this new era of AI, because everything is changing.
So, we need new ways to learn and experiment with open source. Open source isn't just behind closed models anymore; it is neck-and-neck, competing with and even outperforming some frontier proprietary models.
It is really worth learning and experimenting with these tools, and even creating some fully functional agents. With open source, this will be a great year of Hacktoberfest, and I'm fully excited for this.
Love this shift. The four-PRs-for-a-shirt era actually got me into open source years ago. 😅 When a PR can be generated in seconds, the count doesn’t really tell you much anymore.
Moving from “how many did you submit?” to “what did you learn to build?” feels much more meaningful.
I’m coming back to open source from a completely different direction this time — detection. My thing has always been finding what doesn’t belong, first in atmospheric data and now in cybersecurity. 🔎
I’m thinking about building an open-source detection
skills.mdfor Hacktoberfest this year, maybe something around taking an alert and mapping it to MITRE ATT&CK.I love the idea of finishing October with something I actually learned from and can keep building on after the event ends. If AI belongs to everyone, defenders should be part of that too. 🛡️
This is a great direction for Hacktoberfest. Moving from PR counting to meaningful learning and building feels especially important now that AI can generate code so quickly. I’m particularly interested in the focus on open-source skills and agents. Looking forward to seeing what developers build this year!
Soooooooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should be great
