Hacktoberfest is here once again, and we devs will do just about anything for a free shirt.
However, there's a war inside us. The Acquire Free Sw...

But Hacktoberfest is a GitHub only thing, right? It's a partnership between DigitalOcean and GitHub to just encourage more open source contributions.
You are right that there's nothing stopping DigitalOcean to include support for GitLab or Bitbucket, but after a few years of Hacktoberfest, it doesn't seem like they are interested.
So let me see if I understood this correctly ... I create a pull request that involvs a change in one of their transcripts, perhaps I found a spelling mistake, and then I will as a reward get a free t-shirt for contributing ?
Do you they contact me or anything, how do I get that sweet t-shirt :)
Register for Hacktoberfest right here and then they will automatically track how many PRs you open during the month. It takes 5 PRs opened to earn a shirt, but that shouldn't be too tough. ✊
Done one so far, but I thought it was pretty fun so I'd like to keep listening and helping out even after Hacktoberfest is over! Thanks for the opportunities!
Awesome, glad you're enjoying the show! 🙌
(and thanks for the help 🤗)
Is there a list of episodes whose transcript or show notes needs attention?
Unfortunately, no such list exists. The best way to find an episode is:
Hope that helps! Btw, if you are at all interested in Plex, I noticed our most recent episode of Backstage has a bunch of unintelligible sections that need fixin'! 💚
Thank you! I just went in and fixed 17 [unintelligible]s for that episode and had fun too <3
I think I'll be able to get some spare time this weekend for this, listening to tech podcasts also sound like a good idea. :)
do you shoulder shipping fees? :D
Well, the author doesn't, but Digital Ocean does. This is a month long event and yeah you don't pay any shipping fees (well, to the US you don't, I don't know if this is open everywhere honestly. Hopefully it is.)
They require GitHub, so they can track the number of Pull Requests you did in October.
