ISSB Open October '22

🔮🎃 TRICK OR TREAT 🎃🔮

What is OpenOctober?

OpenOctober is an opensource based competition organized by IEEE SFIT. It is an event dedicated to coding and celebrating the developer in you.

In this event, you can contribute to a live project and make a pull request to the repository you desire to work on.

The participant with the maximum number of valid contributions wins.

This competition will go on for 3 days but don't be disheartened, you can keep contributing after the time is over but it will not be considered for evaluation.

We believe - and we hope you do too

that learning how to code, how to think,  and how to contribute to open source can empower the next generation of coders and creators.

If you are first time contributor, we want you to know that everyone started from somewhere!

So start here!⚡

It is a 3 day coding event on github which implies open source principles at its base.

The event will be held from 6th to 8th October 2022
