I am working at KNP Labs as people manager and project facilitator. We create and contribute to several Free and Open Source Software projects, like Bundles for Symfony and latest, some js/react libs.
Even if I do not code anymore, I still care a lot for open source projects and it's a strong value for me, that the company for which I am working, is contributing and sharing with the community.
This is a translation into English of my blog post of our company website : KNPLabs.com
Here we go !
As part of the TURFU festival at "Le Dôme", we organized a Hacktoberfest evening with our local dev association the "Caen Camps".
Worldwide
The Hacktoberfest is a worldwide day to promote open source projects on github. The participation is impressive: 92,132 participants registered, with 482,182 participating in the open source projects. The companies Digtial Ocean and the Dev.to website sponsor worldwide stickers and T-Shirts for all those who make at least 4 PRs pull request - what is a PR?.
Local
KNP Labs already contributes to open source projects and we wanted to introduce the open source community to developers at Caen (Normandy, France) and also propose to make common projects for those who are already experienced contributors.
"Le Dôme" welcomed us during the fabulous TURFU festival and the CaenCamps were co-organizers with us. We were about 20 attendees, with 8 people who never contributed.
KNP Labs sponsored the local brewery La Caenette ;-) and some pizzas were also on hand.
To learn more, Digital Oceans Hacktoberfest website is really great !
See you next year !
Thanks to all the participants, Lena, Antoine and Eve for co-organizing the event. Want to help with contributions? Send us a hello on twitter.
