For those who might not know, Hacktoberfest is an annual, month-long celebration of open source software, held in October. It&#8217;s organized by DigitalOcean and encourages participation in the open source ecosystem, whether you&#8217;re a seasoned contributor or a first-timer. The event is open to everyone and all backgrounds and skill levels are encouraged to participate. In 2024, there&#8217;s been a greater focus on low- and no-code contributions, which has been great to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, we&#8217;ve experienced our most successful Hacktoberfest ever, and we couldn&#8217;t have done it without the amazing contributions from our Mautic community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the course of October we\u2019ve onboarded over 50 new contributors, which has been a record-breaker. Together, we&#8217;ve achieved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Completion of over <strong>40 no-code tasks<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Completion of <strong>18 pull request reviews<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Awarding of over <strong>15 unique Holopin badges<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone who contributed received a &#8216;holobyte&#8217; which allows them to claim our exclusive series of Hacktoberfest Holopin badges &#8211; don&#8217;t forget to check your GitHub issues and PRs if you haven\u2019t claimed yours yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re incredibly proud of these achievements, but we also know that there&#8217;s always room for improvement. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;d love to hear your feedback on this year&#8217;s Hacktoberfest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether or not you contributed to Mautic during October, please take a moment to fill out the form <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/m.mautic.org\/hacktoberfest-24-feedback\">here<\/a><\/strong>. Your insights will help us make future Hacktoberfests even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Hacktoberfest may be over, the spirit of contribution lives on! We know that some of you didn&#8217;t manage to get around to contributing this time, but we&#8217;d love to have you joining us even outside of Hacktoberfest if you&#8217;re still looking for an opportunity to contribute to Mautic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this applies to you, please fill out the form above and select &#8216;yes&#8217; in the field &#8216;do you still want to contribute to Mautic&#8217;. We&#8217;ll be in touch to give you a hand in getting started. You&#8217;ll receive an email with the relevant information for the tasks you wanted to contribute towards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who showed interest in contributing to Mautic. It&#8217;s incredibly exciting to see that over 300 of you cared enough to complete the form!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we look forward to the future, we&#8217;re excited about the potential for growth, innovation, and community-building that lies ahead. Thank you for being a part of this journey.
