Hacktoberfest is an initiative by GitHub and Digital Ocean to get more people involved in Open Source. This year, even Twilio has joined hands with them.
Hacktoberfest runs throughout the month of October and every individual with 5 or more PRs made (not necessary to be accepted and merged) gets stickers and a limited edition hacktoberfest t-shirt.
It's a great way to start off your journey into open source.
For starters, we'll be creating a file called intro.md. Add the s.no, your name embedded within a link to your github profile and you batch.
Over the month, we'll be launching a couple of issues which you guys can solve in order to make sure that you all get to make 5 PRs and are eligible for the Hacktoberfest t-shirt.
