Hacktoberfest 2020 Challenge!

This year was a very productive month for me especially when it comes to contributing to open source projects. The best thing about Open Source is actually being a part of an amazing like minded community. Thanks to Hacktoberfest, I was able to be a part of multiple such communities. My Accepted Contributions for this year's hacktoberfest are as follows:

I also contributed as a reviewer to various projects.
We did face some inconveniences due to the spammy Pull Requests but the hacktoberfest team were quick enough to implement better and more robust rules to counter the same, which was very impressive. In my opinion these rules were very smart. The team also did a great job hunting repositories that did not satisfy hacktoberfest's code of conduct.

For beginners who want to start contributing to open source projects should consider Hacktoberfest as their starting point and should'nt hesitate to participate in it. If you are looking for a mode detailed guide, do check out my other blog about Open Source here

Thank you for reading, see you next time! :)
