Read 5th Annual Hacktoberfest Kicks Off Today, Updated Rules Require 5 Pull Requests to Earn a T-shirt

DigitalOcean, along with GitHub and new partner Twilio, are sponsoring the 5th annual Hacktoberfest. The event was created to encourage participants to make meaningful contributions to open source …

I’m wondering if @DictationBridge has any issues that need pull requests. I’m also wondering if pull requests on docs count. I should check the rules because a limited edition Hacktoberfest t-shirt would be nice to add to the collection.

    I would hope they’d count documentation repos/PRs. Especially when docs tend to be limited in quality.

    I’m definitely going to check the rules tomorrow. I’ve been meaning to contribute to docs for the project anyway. Hacktoberfest would be a great reason.

    The fact that they’re enforcing rules now shows that they’re trying to avoid some “flyby” participation that do very minimal just for the perks. Kudos to them to try and enforce some quality.
