Description

Join in the [Hacktoberfest]ivities with PHL Code Club!

​This October, we’re coming together to commit to open source contributions. We’ll be gathering once a week via the PHL Code Club Discord to support each other. Whether you’re a seasoned contributor or brand new to open source, you’re welcome to join in. At the end of October, we’ll celebrate with a showcase of all the amazing work done.

​For those that don't know, Hacktoberfest is the annual celebration of open source contribution and a gateway for newcomers to contribute! Over the month of October, you will aim to submit contributions to participating open source projects; each one will be tracked on your Hacktoberfest dashboard! The format will be as follows:

​Weekly Hack Nights (Online) 👨‍💻

​When: Every Wednesday of October at 6:30pm
Where: PHL Code Club Discord 👾
Format: Body doubling + pair programming. Come work on your Hacktoberfest contributions with us or your own projects! Each week, we'll have a rotating host from our community.

​Final Showcase (in-person event: October 30th 🎃)

​This is where you’ll get to show off what you worked on this Hacktoberfest — the goal is to share your contributions, but if for any reason you weren’t able to participate, you’ll also have the opportunity to present personal projects.
