Too Long; Didn't Read
Hacktoberfest is an annual event that encourages participation and contribution to open source projects. Sign up during the month of October, make at least 4 valid pull requests in public repos on Github and you can receive stickers and a limited edition t-shirt. It's the official start of the spooky season. It can be a lot of fun. But not everyone has the privilege of spare time at a computer isn’t realistic for everyone. There can be pressure, even if it’s from ourselves, to try and do all-of-the-things.
