What is Hacktoberfest??

Hacktoberfest 2019 is a month-long celebration of open-source software. It was started at DigitalOcean as a way to foster a sense of community and encourage more participation in open source projects. This will be third year in a row, that SovTech will participate in Hacktoberfest.

To reward Hacktoberfest contributors, DigitalOcean has designed a limited edition T-shirt for those who complete the challenge each year. This year, the first 50,000 participants will be eligible to receive a limited edition shirt.

Participation has jumped from just under 1000 to 5700+ in nearly a hundred countries. I wonder what the results will be this Hacktoberfest 2019?

How it works?
Any pull request made to a public repo on Github counts. Can even be your own, but that’s obviously discouraged. You can find more information from Digital Ocean here: https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/faq
