Happy October Huddlers! 🎃
From scary movies to pumpkin spice beverages, spooky season is my favorite time of year and Huddle01 is doing something extra special this month.

We're thrilled to announce our participation in Hacktoberfest 2023 🎉.

🤔 What is Hacktoberfest?

Sponsored by Digital Ocean, Appwrite, and ILLA, Hacktoberfest is a spectacular event that celebrates open-source projects and a unique opportunity to learn new skills. This year marks its 10th anniversary and we’re calling on your support.

Whether it’s your first time participating—or your tenth—register on the official website here and make four PRs to any public GitHub repository from October 1st through the 31st. You can choose any project you prefer... but we would love it if you contributed to Huddle01!

🧑🏿‍💻 How can you contribute to Huddle01?

Huddle01 is on a mission to democratize WebRTC by building the 1st dRTC Network. We currently have our own SDK and app that enables wallet-to-wallet video meets and audio spaces with additional features like token-gating, recording, streaming and much more. We believe communication is a public good and everyone should have access to it free of cost and with utmost security.

To help you get started, we have created a list of issues for Hacktoberfest contributions. You can find them on our GitHub with the label hacktoberfest-accepted. Categorized as beginner, intermediate, or advanced, explore the following repositories to see where you can make an incredible impact:

When you find an issue you'd like to work on, please comment "picking this up" below it on GitHub, and our DevRel Engineer, Vraj Desai assign the issue to you.

🎁 Rewards, Events, and Help

As a result of your hard work, we will reward you with prizes!
Tiered based on issue category level:

  • Advanced: $300 Pool Prize

  • Intermediate: $100 Pool Prize & Merch

  • Beginner: POAP & Merch

Who doesn’t love free stuff? You will also receive an exclusive digital reward kit from Hacktoberfest in partnership with Holopin. The kit will include a customizable badge that evolves with each PR accepted by maintainers, representing your journey in open source and Hacktoberfest.

Join our Discord for Hacktoberfest Office Hours on Thursday, October 18th where you can interact with our friendly and helpful engineering team. We can’t wait to see you there!

Ask questions, get assistance, or work through technical doubts. If you're unable to attend or want assistance outside of office hours, join our Discord to post your questions in the "💙ㆍhacktoberfest" channel.

We look forward to seeing your amazing contributions and celebrating open source with you. Thank you for being part of the Huddle01 community and happy hacking!
