The roundtable brings practitioners together to map that stack and the OSS projects filling each layer.\r\n\r\nWe will run it in three parts:\r\n\r\nFraming (about 15 minutes): a short setup of what a reliable AI worker stack needs, covering orchestration, observability and tracing, guardrails and policy enforcement, durability and retries, and evaluation.\r\n\r\nRoundtable (60 to 75 minutes): a facilitated discussion where practitioners compare the open source tools they use at each layer, where the gaps are, and what is worth building. It is led by people who work on agent reliability infrastructure day to day.\r\n\r\nHacktoberfest contribution (45 minutes): attendees pick relevant OSS projects, triage good first issues together, and open pull requests on the spot, with experienced contributors helping newcomers land their first merged PR.\r\n\r\nEveryone leaves with a clearer map of the open source AI infrastructure landscape and at least one contribution in progress.","websiteUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14866-hacktoberfest-meetup-bengaluru-x-failproofai","registrationUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14866-hacktoberfest-meetup-bengaluru-x-failproofai/register","logoUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/logos/events/01a07803-77ad-7994-4b88-d6d541a4af3a/hacktoberfest-meet-up-bengaluru-x-failproof-ai_655fff7d6591.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/01a07803-77ad-7994-4b88-d6d541a4af3a/hacktoberfest-meet-up-bengaluru-x-failproof-ai_90ff2b0a2efa.png","seriesId":"01a0119b-f0f8-6572-18d9-df72fa74f9c3","seasonIdentifier":null,"eventApplicationId":null,"ohqId":null,"address":{"line1":" 25th Main Rd, 1st Sector, ","line2":"784","line3":null,"city":"Bengaluru","state":"Karnataka","postalCode":"560102","country":"IN","latitude":12.9181942,"longitude":77.6498159}},{"id":"01a06935-ebf6-1e2a-a47a-7156c14bd384","name":"Hacktoberfest Meetup Reims x Code Collectif","slug":"hacktoberfest-meet-up-reims-x-code-collectif","format":"hackday","status":"pending","startsAt":"2026-10-01T15:30:00.000Z","endsAt":"2026-10-01T19:00:00.000Z","timeZone":"Europe/Paris","description":"Our Fest will run as a 3.5-hour evening event, structured as a mix of talks and hands-on building to welcome participants of all skill levels, from newcomers to experienced developers.","websiteUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14811-hacktoberfest-meetup-reims-x-code-collectif","registrationUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14811-hacktoberfest-meetup-reims-x-code-collectif/register","logoUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/logos/events/01a06935-ebf6-1e2a-a47a-7156c14bd384/hacktoberfest-meet-up-reims-x-code-collectif_7a0a058498ff.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/01a06935-ebf6-1e2a-a47a-7156c14bd384/hacktoberfest-meet-up-reims-x-code-collectif_3bb76cb9cef5.png","seriesId":"01a0119b-f0f8-6572-18d9-df72fa74f9c3","seasonIdentifier":null,"eventApplicationId":null,"ohqId":null,"address":{"line1":"Chaussée Bocquaine - Esplanade André Malraux","line2":null,"line3":null,"city":"Reims","state":"Marne","postalCode":"51100","country":"FR","latitude":49.2459337,"longitude":4.0249409}},{"id":"01a0408d-1891-12a9-5653-f839525b06e8","name":"Hacktoberfest Hack Day Cambridge x Cloudinary","slug":"hacktoberfest-hack-day-cambridge-x-cloudinary","format":"hackday","status":"pending","startsAt":"2026-10-01T21:00:00.000Z","endsAt":"2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z","timeZone":"America/New_York","description":"Let's gather for a community-focused media hackathon that combine hands-on building, technical mentorship, and developer networking.

You don't need to be an advanced programmer to take part. If you have never used Git, never opened a pull request, or have only ever written code for coursework, this event was built with you in mind. We will walk you through the basics from the very beginning: setting up Git and GitHub, finding beginner-friendly issues, forking a repository, making a change, and submitting your first pull request.\r\n\r\nWhat to expect on the day:\r\n\r\n- A beginner-friendly intro to open source and why it matters for your career\r\n- A hands-on walkthrough of Git and GitHub, from zero\r\n- Guidance on finding good first issues and projects worth contributing to\r\n- Dedicated hacking time with mentors moving around the room to unblock you\r\n- Contributions to local and global projects, including ones solving problems in the East African context\r\n- Community, snacks, and Hacktoberfest swag\r\n\r\nBring a laptop and a charger. Bring a friend who has been meaning to start coding. That's all you need.\r\n\r\nWhether you study Business Computing, Computer Science, design, or something else entirely, there is a way to contribute.

This is a full-day workshop designed to level up your Python skills where we ditch the slides and get straight to coding—covering everything from data wrangling to AI-powered automation.\r\n\r\n​Join us on October 3, 2026 at RELX Reed Elsevier, UP Technohub, Quezon City. Whether you're into wrangling data or building AI-powered apps, we've got two parallel tracks lined up just for you:\r\n\r\n​Track 1: Data & Analytics\r\n​- Data-Engineered Analytics: Building Schema-Driven Event Pipelines in Python by Alysson Alvaran – Learn how to transform messy, unstructured JSON logs into clean, query-ready tables using Python, Pydantic, and DuckDB.\r\n​- Weather-Weather Lang: What Can Data Tell Us? by Vanessa Althea Bermudez – Explore a practical machine learning workflow using real-world weather data—from data prep to model evaluation.\r\n\r\n​Track 2: AI & Automation\r\n​- Generative AI and Prompt Engineering by Lee Mark Chavez – Go beyond basic prompts and learn a structured approach that works at scale, with options for both Python and no-code tracks.\r\n​- Intro to Context Engineering: From Strategic Prompting to Building Apps with Low-Code AI by Daniel Caparro – Learn how to turn strategic prompting into functional applications using low-code and generative AI platforms.\r\n\r\n​What to expect:\r\n​- Code-first sessions – This is a workshop, not a lecture. You'll be writing actual Python code throughout the day.\r\n​- Two parallel tracks – Choose the path that fits your interest, whether it's data or AI.\r\n​- Beginner-to-intermediate friendly – Designed for Python users who are ready to take the next step. No prior ML or AI experience required.\r\n\r\n​Logistics:\r\n​- What to bring: Laptop with a power cable (we'll provide WiFi and electricity).\r\n​- Food: Snacks and refreshments will be served.\r\n​- Slots: Limited to ensure an optimal hands-on experience for everyone.","websiteUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14823-hacktoberfest-meetup-quezon-city-x-python-philippines-relx-reed-elsevier","registrationUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14823-hacktoberfest-meetup-quezon-city-x-python-philippines-relx-reed-elsevier/register","logoUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/logos/events/01a06a78-ca89-899e-17f0-7c8f06e6dd0a/hacktoberfest-meet-up-quezon-city-x-python-philippines_510683033b30.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/01a06a78-ca89-899e-17f0-7c8f06e6dd0a/hacktoberfest-meet-up-quezon-city-x-python-philippines_a88e5a38748f.png","seriesId":"01a0119b-f0f8-6572-18d9-df72fa74f9c3","seasonIdentifier":null,"eventApplicationId":null,"ohqId":null,"address":{"line1":"U.P.-Ayala Land Technohub, Commonwealth Avenue","line2":"2/F Building H","line3":null,"city":"Diliman, Quezon City","state":"Metro Manila","postalCode":"1101","country":"PH","latitude":14.6571252,"longitude":121.0563182}},{"id":"01a0775c-2233-b626-75f9-97ab4f9e121d","name":"Hacktoberfest Hack Day Nagpur x GDGC Nagpur","slug":"hacktoberfest-hack-day-nagpur-x-gdgc-nagpur","format":"hackday","status":"pending","startsAt":"2026-10-03T04:30:00.000Z","endsAt":"2026-10-03T09:00:00.000Z","timeZone":"Asia/Kolkata","description":"# Hacktoberfest 2026 × GDG Cloud Nagpur \r\n\r\n## Celebrate Open Source with GDG Cloud Nagpur this October!\r\n\r\nHacktoberfest is here, and **GDG Cloud Nagpur** is bringing the community together for a month dedicated to **Open Source, collaboration, and learning**.\r\n\r\nWhether you're making your **first pull request** or you're already an active contributor, this is your opportunity to explore open-source projects, connect with developers, and contribute to repositories that create real impact.\r\n\r\n## What to Expect\r\n\r\n- Introduction to Open Source & Hacktoberfest\r\n- Hands-on contribution sessions\r\n- Mentorship for first-time contributors\r\n- Pull Request & Git/GitHub guidance\r\n- Community collaboration and networking\r\n- Hacktoberfest activities and community engagement throughout October\r\n\r\nThis event is open to **students, developers, professionals, and anyone interested in Open Source**.

What failed was legibility: nobody could see the whole picture at once, so it had to be rebuilt by hand, by the person least able to spare the time.\r\n\r\nYou'll pick one of the challenges — real published requirements written out as structured data with a citation on every rule, plus a synthetic document set messy enough to be honest:\r\n\r\nA · Return to Play — proving concussion protocol steps actually happened\r\nB · Campus Safety Report — Clery reporting assembled by hand from six offices\r\nC · Care Denied — the appeal nobody has hours to file\r\nD · Services Owed — IEP service minutes promised vs. delivered\r\nE · Grant Integrity — proving funded money was spent the way the award said\r\n\r\nFive rules: cite everything, never make the final call, synthetic data only, rules are data not code, fail toward caution.\r\n\r\nNo experience required. The teams that win these are almost never the most technically advanced — they're the ones who picked something small, finished it, and could say in one sentence why it mattered. Starter repo, packs, mentors, food, and judges from the offices that actually own these problems all provided.","websiteUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14790-hacktoberfest-hack-day-miami-x-the-ai-collective","registrationUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14790-hacktoberfest-hack-day-miami-x-the-ai-collective/register","logoUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/logos/events/01a05ecd-946a-c1e1-e97d-6530dd449c76/hacktoberfest-hack-day-miami-x-the-ai-collective_319be4a6d94b.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/01a05ecd-946a-c1e1-e97d-6530dd449c76/hacktoberfest-hack-day-miami-x-the-ai-collective_d7d5221ab41e.jpg","seriesId":"01a0119b-f0f8-6572-18d9-df72fa74f9c3","seasonIdentifier":null,"eventApplicationId":null,"ohqId":null,"address":{"line1":"2750 NW 3rd Avenue","line2":"24","line3":null,"city":"Miami","state":"FL","postalCode":"33127","country":"US","latitude":25.8023878,"longitude":-80.2017158}},{"id":"01a06e39-b1ce-682b-5c69-13b3cb314daf","name":"Hacktoberfest Meetup Noida","slug":"hacktoberfest-meet-up-noida-x-muit-noida","format":"hackday","status":"pending","startsAt":"2026-10-11T05:00:00.000Z","endsAt":"2026-10-11T10:30:00.000Z","timeZone":"Asia/Kolkata","description":"Get ready to dive into the global celebration of open source right here at Maharishi University of Information Technology!

In fact, according to the official Hacktoberfest Hack Day rules, **work on the submitted project must begin during the event**.\r\n\r\n## How it will work\r\n\r\nDuring the Hack Day:\r\n\r\n* **Team formation**: you can join other participants, find a team directly at the event, or work on your own idea\r\n* **Ideation**: choose a real problem to solve and define your project\r\n* **Build**: you will have several hours to design, develop, test, and improve your solution\r\n* **Open Source AI**: projects will use open-source technologies and/or open-weight AI models\r\n* **Mentoring and collaboration**: throughout the day, you will be able to exchange ideas with other participants and share approaches, problems, and solutions\r\n* **Project submission**: at the end of the Hack Day, teams will submit their projects through the official OrganizerHQ Challenges platform\r\n* **Demo and judging**: we will close the day by showcasing what has been built and evaluating the participating projects\r\n\r\nWe are not necessarily looking for the most complex project.\r\n\r\nWe are looking for **interesting ideas, experimentation, collaboration, and something that actually works by the end of the day**.\r\n\r\n## Hacktoberfest Challenges\r\n\r\nCoding Bunker is taking part in the official **Major League Hacking Hacktoberfest Hack Day** format.\r\n\r\nDuring the event, one or more **official Hacktoberfest open-source prize challenges** may be available, together with any partner challenges assigned to the event.\r\n\r\nDetails about the challenges and any associated prizes will be shared with participants before or during the Hack Day.\r\n\r\n**Hacktoberfest swag and digital badges** will also be available according to the terms of the official program.\r\n\r\n## Who can participate?\r\n\r\nIt does not matter whether you are a:\r\n\r\n* developer\r\n* QA / Quality Engineer\r\n* DevOps / Platform Engineer\r\n* architect\r\n* data or AI engineer\r\n* designer\r\n* open-source contributor\r\n* or simply curious and eager to experiment\r\n\r\nYou do not need to be an AI expert or a regular open-source contributor.\r\n\r\n**The Hack Day is also designed as an opportunity to learn, experiment with new technologies, and work with people whose skills are different from your own.**\r\n\r\nBring your laptop, your desire to build, and a few ideas.\r\n\r\nWe will figure out the rest together.\r\n\r\n## Registration\r\n\r\nAs required by the official Hacktoberfest guidelines, **participant registration and check-in will be managed through OrganizerHQ**.\r\n\r\nWe will share the official registration link as soon as it becomes available.\r\n\r\n## What is Hacktoberfest?\r\n\r\nHacktoberfest is an international initiative focused on growth and collaboration within the open-source ecosystem.\r\n\r\nIn 2026, Hacktoberfest events focus on the opportunity to **learn, experiment, and build using open-source technologies and open-weight AI**.\r\n\r\nThe Coding Bunker Hack Day is part of the **Hacktoberfest Hack Day** format, an in-person event dedicated to building projects through a mini-hackathon approach.\r\n\r\n## Coding Bunker\r\n\r\nCoding Bunker is a community dedicated to Software Engineering and to sharing real-world experiences among professionals.\r\n\r\nTesting, Architecture, AI, DevOps, Cloud, Observability, Performance, Accessibility, and Software Craftsmanship are just some of the topics we cover.\r\n\r\nThis time, though, instead of just talking about them...\r\n\r\n**let's build something together.**\r\n\r\n## Telegram Link\r\n\r\nhttps://t.me/codingbunker\r\n\r\n## Legal Notice\r\n\r\nBy participating in the event, attendees authorize the organizers to take photographs and

Whether you already maintain an open-source project, have a personal project you're thinking of open-sourcing, or want to make your first contribution, you're welcome to join.\r\n\r\nThe meetup will start with one featured talk, followed by an Open Space session where participants can propose topics, share projects, discuss ideas and form smaller groups around things they'd like to explore or work on together.\r\n\r\nWe hope the meetup helps more people:\r\n\r\n- Contribute to open-source projects\r\n- Find collaborators for personal or community projects\r\n- Open-source their own work\r\n- Meet others who are interested in building together\r\n- Embrace the idea of being open by default\r\n\r\nCome with a project, an idea or simply an interest in open source.\r\n\r\n# Talks\r\n\r\nA mix of talks and open spaces\r\n\r\n## Open Source for Everyone: Why (and How) to Take the Leap\r\n\r\nBy Jean-Phi\r\n\r\nOpen source is an integral part of our daily technological lives, whether it involves indispensable tools like GitLab and Mattermost, or languages and libraries like React and Quarkus. Taking the step to contribute remains an intimidating milestone for many people. However, pushing past this barrier and making that leap opens up very interesting opportunities, both on a human and technical part.\r\n\r\nIn this presentation, I will share my journey: from my very first contribution more than 8 years ago to the creation of my own open-source projects. My goal is to prove to you that anyone can contribute, whether you are a developer or not, and to give you the keys to get started with confidence.\r\n\r\n## Open space\r\n\r\nAnyone can propose a topic, project, question or idea they'd like to discuss. We'll then break into smaller groups based on what people are interested in.\r\n\r\nYou could use the session to:\r\n\r\n- Share an open-source or personal project and find collaborators\r\n- Get feedback on something you're building\r\n- Discuss an open-source topic you care about\r\n- Find a project you'd like to contribute to\r\n- Meet others with similar interests and start building something together\r\n\r\nYou don't need to prepare anything in advance, and you don't need to be an open-source maintainer to participate. Bring a project, a question, an idea or just your curiosity.","websiteUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14820-hacktoberfest-meetup-singapore-x-juniordevsg-zenika","registrationUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14820-hacktoberfest-meetup-singapore-x-juniordevsg-zenika/register","logoUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/logos/events/01a06a21-2430-4182-c13c-95606fbf68e7/hacktoberfest-meet-up-singapore-x-juniordevsg_ce9783ac560a.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/01a06a21-2430-4182-c13c-95606fbf68e7/hacktoberfest-meet-up-singapore-x-juniordevsg_ca34616dbc84.png","seriesId":"01a0119b-f0f8-6572-18d9-df72fa74f9c3","seasonIdentifier":null,"eventApplicationId":null,"ohqId":null,"address":{"line1":"20 Bendemeer Rd, #03-10 BS Bendemeer Centre, Singapore 339914","line2":"#03-10 BS Bendemeer Centre","line3":null,"city":"Singapore","state":"Singapore","postalCode":"339914","country":"SG","latitude":1.3144784,"longitude":103.8622554}},{"id":"01a046fc-dc0d-1345-e4fc-70f7ded3d0b5","name":"Hacktoberfest Hack Day Guayaquil x IEEE-HKN Nu Zeta Chapter","slug":"hacktoberfest-hack-day-guayaquil-x-ieee-hkn-nu-zeta-chapter","format":"hackday","status":"pending","startsAt":"2026-10-23T13:00:00.000Z","endsAt":"2026-10-23T23:00:00.000Z","timeZone":"America/Guayaquil","description":"Este año llevamos la celebración del código abierto al siguiente nivel.

Team up — come with your own team, find one in our Telegram chat before the event, or team up with someone on the day\r\n2. Pick an idea — no need to arrive with a ready-made project; per the official Hacktoberfest rules, work on your submission has to start at the event (hacktoberfest-handbook.mlh.com)\r\n3. Build — 5 hours to design, build, and polish a working prototype\r\n4. Demo & judging — show what you built, get feedback from the judges, and the best projects take home prizes\r\n\r\nWho is this for?\r\n\r\nDoesn't matter if you're coming with a team or without one, with a polished idea or none at all, with deep technical skills or none — vibe coding means you can build with AI tools even if you've never shipped a product before.

Simply put, we believe technology should benefit humans, and the people closest to the problems should have a say in the solution.   \r\n\r\nDive into a high-energy day where local citizens will solve local problems, leveraging the power of AI. From initial idea to final pitch, we will work together with expert mentors to create something tangible.  \r\n\r\nWe will have two tracks: \r\n\r\nTechnical – Building with open weight models, open source agents, and more. Open innovation should be prioritized alongside proprietary tools for an ecosystem to remain healthy and resilient.  \r\n\r\nNon-Technical – Do want to get started using AI for more than search, but don’t know what to trust or how to grow? Are you using AI and want your own personal assistant? This track will start with how to begin and expand use of AI and end with a personal setup that you can trust and grow from.  \r\n\r\nFor the first time, the workforce has the skill to adopt an industrial revolution, rather than be replaced by it.
