To get that sweet sweet t-shirt
/s
Some maintainers are having a hard time with spammers, sadly π

I am really having a blast reading through some of the PRs π
Good stuff ahah!
I wonder how many of those are bots. I definitely see a pattern in the PRs.
Personally, I don't think they are bots.
One guy said there is a big Indian programming channel (TV or YouTube not sure) that promoted hacktoberfest yesterday and showed some steps on how to participate. So my guess is he showed them how to add "Amazing Project" kinds of comments and how to issue a PR and they all run with it thinking that's how contribution is done.
This is just gross.
It's nice to get the t-shirt, but that is not the goal. It's a fun incentive, but the real goal is to get excited about open source and make meaningful contributions and also to help out others.
I was joined Hacktoberfest from 2019. That's make me contribute code on Github and sharing ideas in Dev. Hacktoberfest is door to open source world!
If you didn't know, the /s at the end of my post stands for sarcasm π
Hahahhaha πππ
I want to get the t-shirt, sure. But I also want to solve some problems that users of my module have been having.
Iβd also like to do more #perl advocacy, and maybe even play with this old C library that I like to tinker with when I want to remember how much fun it is to play with unmanaged memory.
I spend so much time at work doing business-ey things, Iβd like to feel like a hacker again for a little bit before I have to go back to work.
Sure, T-Shirt is nice, but apart from that I decided to go through my github stars and see where I can be of an actual help.
So far:
Currently looking for my last victim :-)
Hopefully not your last!
Last year was my first year as a maintainer, now again as a maintainer and a contributor my goal is to gain many valid contributions to my personal and devisle community projects.
So I started of with documentation issue and made some PRs during the Pretember and now I am moving towards solving coding oriented issue my goal is to make some real good contribution to projects and feel a bit of proud that I got to make meaning full contribution to project that will be used by many people as well as getting to connect with many developers along the way.
Mine is to welcome contributions a maintainer - in Kotlin.
I created a brand new project designed to be easy to contribute to.

I already had two contributions merged and five other promised in a couple of days, super motivating!
I am also a maintainer this year for the first time! It does feel nice to see people motivated to contribute
This is my 2nd year. I only ended up doing 2 PRs last year. I was completely new to coding and felt super overwhelmed and lacked understanding to contribute, and I was way uncomfortable with Git/GitHub. This year I plan to change that. I want to for sure hit the 4 PRs for the shirt but would like to try and push myself to getting at least 10 PRs this year.
Nice! If you ask me about it, I choose quality over quantity any day.
Keep going!
This is my first HF but looking forward to help around in opensource projects as much as possible and create a nice network π & ofcourse learn new things & facing new challenges.
Today I did 6 PRsπ.
Cool! Welcome! π
Any more specific goals? I feel having specific goals helps me achieve a lot more
Yes I have set my specific goal as wellπ
Personally, I'm going to sit this one out. Clearly they need to fix the issues around spam.
I get where you come from.
Although I have to say that if you contribute quality PRs yourself, or help out people contribute to your repos, the community benefits from it, whether there is spam or not.
Keep up a good spirit!
I contributed to my friends project, changed some JS code which made the codebase much cleaner.
