What?

Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open source!

Hacktoberfest is DigitalOcean’s annual event that encourages people to contribute to open source throughout October. Much of modern tech infrastructure—including some of DigitalOcean’s own products—relies on open-source projects built and maintained by passionate people who often don’t have the staff or budgets to do much more than keep the project alive. Hacktoberfest is all about giving back to those projects, sharpening skills, and celebrating all things open source, especially the people that make open source so special.

For the past 9 years, thousands of people—coders and non-coders alike—have participated in Hacktoberfest to support the projects they use and love, learn and practice skills that will enhance their careers, and meet new people who love open source as much as they do.

Why?

Bikini Bottom's mods and developer community would like to use Hacktoberfest as a way to help get our community involved in programming and open-source! We're opening this project up to contributions from our members for Hacktoberfest credit. We'll be running an event in the server to help guide our members through contributing!

Can I contribute?

Yes! We'd like our contributions to be at least somewhat meaningful additions to the bot by our server members. Other developers welcome, but if you're not a member of our Discord server you should totally join us!
