Hackertoberfest Drive is a iniative by our Open Source Team at Coderplex, to provide complete support to developers from Hyderabad to participate in the month long global Hacktoberfest event hosted by DigitalOcean, GitHub and Twilio.
Through this initative, if you are interested in participating in Hacktoberfest, you will receive guidance and support from mentors in the ecosystem, who activly contribute to a specific open source projects. You can find the Mentors List here.
If you would like to be a mentor for this program, i.e if you actively contribute to a Open Source project, or if you actively build and manage a Open Source project created by you, then we encourage you to join our initiative as a mentor for said project.
Our expectations from you would be :
- Creating tutorials (blog or video) in which you guide people on how to contribute to said project
- Being available online for the rest of the month in the Coderplex Community Chatroom to answer any questions and provide support to anyone intersted in contributing to the project you are mentoring
- If possible, being present at the offline event we will host this month, where contributors and mentors can come together to interact, ask questions, and help each other make their pull requests to the respective projects they are contributing
Through this initative, we'll be creating online resources in text and video format, that will help beginners learn the basics of contributing to Open Source projects, for examples how to use Git and GitHub, and we'll also work with the mentors in our program to create tutorials on how to contribute to the open source projects they are mentoring for
Towards the end of this month, we'll most likely be hosting a offline meetup where both the mentors and the contributors can come down to interact, to receive and to provide help to others in making their contributions for Hacktoberfest
