HacktoberFest 2019
Last year I participated on the Hacktoberfest 2018 and learned about open source culture and community.
Hacktoberfest is a worldwide celebration of open source software and is open for everyone! It is all about encouraging meaningful contributions to the open source ecosystem, for beginners and veterans alike.
Hacktoberfest is yearly open event which is oraganized by DigitalOcean on month of October. I first participated in Hacktoberfest 2018 and did more than 10 pull request out of which some got merged. Finally, I got my Hacktoberfest swags from digitalocean.

In the meetup participants learned about the git and github by sending pull request to the hacktm.js.org project. We also shared some cool swags with participants.
