Hacktoberfest 2025 is almost here, and registration is now open!
The real fun begins October 1. Until then, it’s the perfect time to explore open source, find projects that excite you, and get your tools ready.
Start by signing up at hacktoberfest.com to secure your spot. Then, take a look around GitHub or GitLab for projects that have the hacktoberfest tag, many of them are already preparing issues and welcoming new contributors.
If you're managing a project, this is your window to get it ready: add relevant tags, clean up open issues, and make it easy for people to jump in when the event kicks off.
Whether you're writing code, reviewing PRs, improving docs, or planning an event, this is the moment to lay the groundwork.
Join the Fun!
