Hello everyone!
I am sure many people here are already familiar with [Hacktoberfest](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/), but here is a recap:
It is an “online competition”, where it is free to attend. You “win the competition” simply by contributing 4 Pull Requests to open source repositories on GitHub. The “prize” for this “win” is an amazing, limited edition T-shirt. The goal of the Hacktoberfest event is to simply promote open source coding.
Since we are Julians here, I bet we are all quite fond of open source 😃 . Many people here are already developers, but in case you haven’t started on your journey in open source, this is a good opportunity.
To provide some “starters” or “appetizers”, I’ve tagged a bunch of issues of the organization JuliaDynamics that are suitable for beginners with the label “Hacktoberfest”. You can find them here:
[JuliaDynamics Hacktobefest issues](https://github.com/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AHacktoberfest+archived%3Afalse+org%3AJuliaDynamics)
Hacktoberfest starts tomorrow! I hope many people will participate!
(for fellow developers and org. maintainers: please post similar links to your easy-to-solve issues in this thread 😉 )
