Marmelab joins the Hacktober Fest 2016!

For the second time, Digital Ocean organizes the Hacktober Fest. During the whole month of October, we are all invited to contribute to our favorite open-source projects. Thanks to their partnership with GitHub, a free tee-shirt will be sent to all users having make at least 4 pull requests during the month. A great occasion to spread our love of open-source, isn't it?

At Marmelab, we are maintaining a lot of open-source projects. As soon as we detect a common pattern across all our projects (for instance for building our Node.js API with CoPostgresQuery), or if we miss a tool to get our job done, we share our work with the community. It allows us to get valuable feedbacks, improve our own products, and increase our global knowledge.

Yet, having so many open-source projects implies spending a lot of time fixing issues, reviewing pull requests, supporting our users, etc. That's why we take advantage of this Hacktober Fest to share with you some of our hottest issues. We filtered them to be both accessible and with a given perimeter. They should be doable without having to dive too deeply under the hood, which is important for project newcomers.

Here is a list of our Hacktober Fest issues. Do not hesitate to ask some help. To share your questions with everyone, just ask on the related issue. All the Marmelab team (and other watching contributors) will give you a hand.

Happy Hacktober Fest!
