It’s now October and that means it is time for a new Monthly Challenge. The Virtual Coffee Hacktobefest Initiative 2024 is starting now! 🎃
This challenge is always run during October and was our first-ever monthly challenge. We have three tracks: maintainers will provide issues labeled for Hacktoberfest, contributors will solve issues, and mentors will help contributors and maintainers be successful.
This month’s challenge will take place in #hacktoberfest. Watch out for updates in that channel! #open-source is also available for general open source chat including Hacktoberfest related stuff.
You can check out the full challenge details [here](https://virtualcoffee.io/monthlychallenges/oct-2024).
Check out the recordings of our open source Lunch and Learns from September: [Intro to OSS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoVX3kGMn3c) & [Becoming a Maintainer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-wrAFiBqFI).
And, last but not least, don't miss our Hacktoberfest Kickoff tomorrow at 12:00 ET!
