Our docs repo has beginner-friendly issues: github.com/cockroachdb/docs/issues...

We also have a beginner-friendly code repo if you prefer: github.com/cockroachdb/cockroachdb...

In my case, docs is what is needed the most! And I'd be pretty surprised if I learned I'm the only one πŸ˜„

If I make a PR today (or before 1st October), will it count?

From the faq:

To win a shirt, you must sign up on the Hacktoberfest site and make four pull requests on GitHub by October 31st. Pull requests do not have to be merged and accepted. As long as they’ve been opened and marked as ready-for-review between the beginning of October 1 and the very end of October 31, they count toward a free T-shirt.

So I think no.

Yeah.
Like how much time I have to win a T-shirt? Only the first 75000 to make 4 PR's win a T-shirt so how fast do the spots fill up? In like 20 days or 15 days or 10 days?

I'm not sure about that. Last year I finished around october 25th or so, but I think they didn't have a limit back then. They mentioned that they will send out more info on that tough.

To be honest, I didn't really know what is Hacktoberfest 2 days ago...
I felt like shy myself 10 years ago when I heard about coding challenges around the world and didn't know how to participate ( But I knew I would love to).

I read some posts and comments here ( thank you very much for that) and decided, whatever it takes I will participate :)
Registration is completed.

Now, all I need to do is to find some cool Android apps. I am nervous like when I was a teenager :)
Good luck everyone.

I'm probably too late to join but I just merged a pull request into youtube-dl adding an age-protection test with a Creative Commons video, Big Buck Bunny. github.com/l1ving/youtube-dl/pull/14

And we even made a new release recently!

Is there something special to do to add our open source projects to a list of repos looking for help? I'm maintaining a couple of open source apps that could definitely benefit from some community help! One is a historical data rescue tool and the other is an open source community engine for both rails and Django.
