Open Source -- What's it all about?
In preparation for Hacktoberfest this Sunday in partnership with FullstackLA, we went over Hacktober, and event organized by GitHub and Digital Ocean to encourage participation in open source projects.
Open Source Software (OSS) projects are built under open source licenses and built by an open community -- meaning anyone can contribute to changing, building, and improving the software!
Some examples include Linux, GitHub, jQuery, Mac Homebrew, and Hoodie, to name a few. Many OSS projects are managed on GitHub.
This Sunday we'll be introducing anyone new to Open Source projects to how it works, and how to submit changes on GitHub (submitting a Pull Request)! We'll also go over the basics of Git and GitHub! :octocat:
