Woke up seeing all the spam PRs from folks who'd like to get T-shirts during #hacktoberfest2020. Totally out of control from day one. @hacktoberfest I appreciate the efforts but a better way to incentivize would be great especially for folks who obviously didn't read the rules.
Got my Hacktoberfest swag! Also, a GIANT Intel sticker, in case your laptop didn’t come with big enough Intel stickers. 😜 #Hacktoberfest2020
Having successfully completed #hacktoberfest2020 I went to the selection for my t-shirt and found this year you can instead plant a tree. I like that it helps cater to people who are environmentally conscious or minimalist wrt collecting things.

It’s time to close out October, while keeping software open. Today is the final day of #Hacktoberfest2020’s open source contribution challenge, and it’s time to get those last few PRs in.
Don’t worry, open source is a year-round lifestyle, we never really stop.

Hacktoberfest '21

Open source is changing the world – one contribution at a time.

Finally finished my final #hacktoberfest2020 PR. Took a little longer, since one wasn't counted due to the whole opt-in situation, but hey 💪
Let's make that my #onethingaweek

Thread about #hacktoberfest2020

Seems people are not contributing for opensource, instead they are spamming the maintainers and owners.
