HacktoberFest Experience
I completed my #Hacktoberfest 2020 challenge by submitting all of the four (+1) pull requests! It was my first time participating in the event, and I had a lot of fun being a contributor and as a maintainer. I'm looking forward to involving myself more in Open-Source projects.
What I Learned From Hacktoberfest
I opened a repository that accepted all the contributions that can help the students/Graduates to prepare for interviews/internships/fellowships. The repository consists of programs on different data structures and algorithms, questions from different interviews and online judges, basic programming problems, etc, in all the possible programming languages including Python, C++, C, Java, etc.

Also check CONTRIBUTING.md on your way.
How Can It Help Strengthen The Community
For code-newbies, Open-Source is an excellent way to learn more about the technology field they are interested in. They can learn more about the stack. That's why many different software companies have stepped-out and have actively searched for diverse and highly-motivated contributors to help their product grow.
A Message For Contributors
What I learned as a maintainer that can help others contribute efficiently is to write a clear README.md/CONTRIBUTING.md explaining all the necessary steps and commands to follow in order to have a smooth Pull Request experience. Not only do the participants participate more, but it also helps the maintainers maintain their projects without any hassle.
Happy Learning! 😊
