Guidelines for Hacktoberfest 2021 ⚡

Open Horizon 

Open Horizon is a platform for managing the service software lifecycle of containerized workloads and related machine learning assets. It enables autonomous management of applications deployed to distributed webscale fleets of edge computing nodes and devices without requiring on-premise administrators.

What is Hacktoberfest? 🌱

Hosted by DigitalOcean for the 8th year in a row, Hacktoberfest encourages participation in giving back to the open-source community by completing pull requests, participating in events, and donating to open source projects.

Persons of any training and skill level are encouraged to participate in the challenge.

How can you benefit? 🤝

  • free swag

  • networking opportunity

  • personal growth

  • a chance to learn something new

  • a great opportunity to start your open source journey

Rules 💬

Merging four pull requests (PRs) is the minimum work required to complete the Hacktoberfest challenge.  Sign up for Hacktoberfest 2021 on the DigitalOcean site.

You can contribute to any "good first issue" in any Open Horizon repository (repo).

To begin, comment on the issues you are interested in working on if they have not been assigned to anyone else, and ask for the issue to be assigned to you.  Do not begin working on an issue unless it has been assigned to you.  In general, you should only work on one issue at a time unless you've submitted a PR on the first issue and you've been waiting more than 24 hours for feedback.

Ask questions if you face any problem solving the issue.  You can ask directly on it issue itself, or join the chat rooms at https://chat.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/.  All of Open Horizon's chat rooms begin with `open-horizon`.

Issues labelled Hacktoberfest will be automatically counted towards your four submissions when you submit a linked PR and it is merged.
