SQUASHathon
This event is over! See results.
The Perl 6 community celebrates a monthly bug squash day, and we make the one in October coincide with the Hacktoberfest.
The SQUASHathon will be on Saturday (October 6th). All timezones included (UTC-12⌁UTC+14), so effectively it will begin at 2018-10-05T10:00Z and end at 2018-10-05T12:00Z.
- If you want to participate as a contributor: Contributors
- If you want to participate as a module maintainer: Module maintainers
- Frequently Asked Questions
If you want to participate as a contributor:
- Although this page is for the SQUASHathon, it is also advised to take a look at the rules of Hacktoberfest: https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/#gettingstarted (there are also many good advices)
- Look at the issues of participating repositories and try to contribute.
- Any contribution counts (even filing a ticket), but PRs are the most valuable. For Hacktoberfest: only PRs are counted.

There is also a list of issues marked with hacktoberfest label.
But keep in mind that some of the repositories listed there may be participating in the Hacktoberfest but not in the SQUASHathon.
- Every squashathon contributor gets free virtual pizza!
- One person (that makes most/best PRs) for the Squashathon will receive a plush camelia. A real, physical one!
- On a related note, contributors who participate in Hacktoberfest (and do enough PRs) will likely receive a T-shirt from DigitalOcean.

If you have modules written in Perl 6, consider participating. To join you should:
- Follow the steps on https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/#gettingstarted
- Add a webhook in your repo to http://whateverable.6lang.org:4243/ with content type:
application/json,Send me everythingand secretsquashathon.
- The bot on #perl6 channel should
announce that the webhook is now set up correctly. If it doesn't, please let
us know.
That's it! Please be ready to help contributors and merge their PRs.
This webhook will be active during the SQUASHathon on Saturday 6th. All timezones included (UTC-12⌁UTC+14), so effectively it will be on 2018-10-05T10:00Z…2018-10-05T12:00Z.
During that time, every code or repo change will be broadcast to
the #perl6 IRC channel. Hang
around as much (or little) as you want, ask/answer questions, help
others or ask for help.
SQUASHathon is a 1 day (50-hours) long event organized by Perl 6 community every month (on a first Saturday of every month). Hacktoberfest is an event organized by DigitalOcean every year (in October).
So it just happens that if you participate in SQUASHathon you're also participating in Hacktoberfest, as long as you follow their rules.
Yes.
- As a maintainer: if you don't create a webhook, you're not participating in the SQUASHathon. If you don't add
hacktoberfestlabels to your issues, then you're not participating in Hacktoberfest. - As a contributor: just follow or don't follow the rules of a corresponding event.
