+ Hacktoberfest is here! It’s been a long road of preparation, + encouragement, and support. As always, shoutout to all our volunteers + who’ve spread the good word about getting our members geared up to + contribute! +
++ To start the month off in the true spirit of Hacktoberfest, we’ve done + something big. We open-sourced our{' '} + + VC Community Docs + + ! By sharing our playbook, we're not just supporting our immediate + community—we're extending a hand to community builders everywhere. + We're living our values of creating a positive, inclusive community + and removing tech barriers on a broader scale. +
++ Spotlighting some of the kindness happening in our community. +
++++ "I am grateful for everyone at Virtual Coffee. ☕️❤️ I want to give a + special shout-out to Megan though! We had an awesome 'coffee chat' + yesterday and she let me pick her brain about developer education + roles." +
+ +
+++ "I'm super grateful for Bekah for her continuous support in many ways. + 💖 " +
+ +
++ ++ "So grateful to have met Stephanie in person!! 🙌" +
+ +
+ Every year since 2020, we’ve tried to get involved in some way with the + Hacktoberfest initiative. Virtual Coffee aligns with the spirit and + ethos of open source and tries every year to be an accessible avenue to + learning, supporting, and tending to open-source projects. +

+Check out the workshops we ran to prepare for Hacktoberfest:
++ This challenge is always run during October and was our first-ever + monthly challenge. In many ways, we think of Hacktoberfest as the event + that solidified Virtual Coffee beyond a pandemic meetup. +
++ We have three tracks: approved maintainers will provide issues labeled + for Hacktoberfest, contributors will solve issues, and mentors will help + contributors and maintainers be successful. +
++ They provide the repositories with "hacktoberfest" topic(s) and issues + labeled "hacktoberfest" on their repositories. They will also answer the + contributors' questions, review the pull requests (PRs), and validate + and merge them following the contest rules. +
++ They find repositories with "hacktoberfest" topic(s) and issues they + want to solve. The contest's goal is to have four (4) pull requests + (PRs) approved during October. +
++ A mentor will be paired with a mentee (contributor or maintainer). They + provide support through a 1:1, a pairing session, Slack, or whatever + works best for the team! +
++ Learn more about this challenge in{' '} + + this blog post. + +
