October is right around the corner and you know what that means! It’s Hacktoberfest!
It’s the 10th anniversary of DigitalOcean’s Hacktoberfest, and the 7th year we ServiceNow Developers are participating in this event by contributing to ServiceNow open-sourced projects and repositories.
In previous years, participants would receive swag (a shirt and stickers usually) from DigitalOcean. For the first time ever, we are sending ServiceNow CreatorCon shirts to those who participate in ServiceNow’s Hacktoberfest projects!
Last year, we set new ServiceNow Hacktoberfest records with 520 Pull requests by 201 participants! We are excited to see what you all come up with this year!
Hacktoberfest is an annual, month-long celebration of open-source software run by DigitalOcean in partnership with GitHub and other sponsors, typically held in October, where participants contribute to open-source projects to earn rewards. The event encourages participation in the open-source community, all the while earning prizes for participation.
Generally, September is the time to learn how Source Control (ie. GitHub) works. Then in October (from October 1 to October 31), you can choose from any number of our projects below to earn your rewards.
Watch this short three-minute video to see one of the ways to participate from A to Z:
Completing the traditional Hacktoberfest goal set forth by DigitalOcean and GitHub, participants who complete 4 Pull Requests would earn prizes including the yearly t-shirt. This year, DigitalOcean will no longer be sending shirts, but the ServiceNow Developer Program is stepping and will be sending CreatorCon shirts to our participants.
You must register at BOTH websites below to earn prizes from both DigitalOcean and the ServiceNow Developer Program.
Prizes from DigitalOcean this year (subject to change):

To earn these prizes, we are tracking participation in ServiceNow Dev Program specific projects. We will be rewarding participants who:
Additionally, we will select several participants at random that have participated in the past week. So participate throughout October for more chances to receive the rewards!
Go to https://devlink.sn/HacktoberfestRegistration and register. You will be able to see your progress in our projects at this link too.
Every year our goal is to make it easy for you to participate, so the more projects the better! We have also worked on enhancing some repos so that it’s easier and faster to contribute without having to fully pull down entire applications into your Personal Developer Instance.
All project links can be found in our main Hacktoberfest repository here: https://github.com/ServiceNowDevProgram/Hacktoberfest
A team of volunteers will be joining us this year to ensure that your Hacktoberfest experience is better than ever! ServiceNow’s participation in Hacktoberfest is only possible because volunteers put in the massive hours to make sure Pull Requests are being reviewed and everything is running smoothly.
Come back through September for more updates! Or just jump right into https://github.com/ServiceNowDevProgram/Hacktoberfest to get started!
