Hacktoberfest 2024: Get a Free JavaScript Today Sticker

October is here, and that means one thing in the tech world—Hacktoberfest! This annual event, powered by DigitalOcean, Cloudflare, Quira, and other sponsors, encourages developers of all skill levels to contribute to open-source projects. For those who are passionate about coding, collaborating with the community, or even learning the ropes of open source, Hacktoberfest 2024 is the perfect opportunity to get involved.

And there’s special treat for JavaScript lovers this year: you can earn a free JavaScript Today sticker by participating in Hacktoberfest!

What Is Hacktoberfest?

Hacktoberfest is a month-long event designed to promote open-source collaboration. It invites developers from around the world to contribute to various open-source projects. The main goal is to submit four pull requests (PRs) to participating repositories on GitHub or GitLab during the month of October.

Whether you’re fixing bugs, adding features, improving documentation, or optimizing performance, your contributions are valuable. The beauty of Hacktoberfest is that it welcomes everyone—from beginners to seasoned pros.

To participate, simply register at the Hacktoberfest website, and start exploring projects that interest you. There are thousands of projects across multiple programming languages and frameworks, including JavaScript, Python, Go, and more.
