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.

Teams can build any prototype fitting under one of these 3 tracks:\r\n1. **Open-Source AI & Autonomous Agents (Main Track):** Build smart tools, assistants, or autonomous agents using open-weight models (like Google Gemma) or AI APIs.\r\n2. **Developer Tooling & Workflows:** Build practical utilities, CLIs, Git integrations, or developer productivity tools.\r\n3. **Campus & Social Good:** Build solutions addressing student workflow, campus navigation, or community challenges.\r\n\r\n\r\n###  Do You Need a PPT?\r\n* **No pitch decks or PPTs required.**\r\n* Hackathons are about shipping working software. Judging is based on a **2-minute live demo of your working code** on the projector, paired with a public GitHub repository created during the event.\r\n\r\n\r\n### 💻 What to Bring:\r\n* **Your Laptop & Charger (BYOD):** This is strictly a Bring-Your-Own-Device event.\r\n* **Active GitHub Account:** To create and push your project repository.\r\n* **Extension Board (Optional but recommended):** We provide main power strips, but having a compact 2–3 socket extension in your bag is always helpful.\r\n\r\n* **All Attendees:** Exciting developer goodies & official swag, plus refreshments & snacks.","websiteUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/15031-hacktoberfest-hack-day-surat","registrationUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/15031-hacktoberfest-hack-day-surat/register","logoUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/logos/events/01a0a22c-8b37-d95f-6630-53b244a0b4e3/hacktoberfest-hack-day-surat-x-surat-open-source-community_3e3cf1f02547.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/01a0a22c-8b37-d95f-6630-53b244a0b4e3/hacktoberfest-hack-day-surat-x-surat-open-source-community_7185f6addc0a.png","seriesId":"01a0119b-f0f8-6572-18d9-df72fa74f9c3","seasonIdentifier":null,"eventApplicationId":null,"ohqId":null,"address":{"line1":" 4PJ9+R64, Near Malvan Mandir Via Magdalla Port, Dumas Rd","line2":null,"line3":null,"city":"Surat","state":"Gujarat","postalCode":"395007","country":"IN","latitude":21.1406249,"longitude":72.7540697},"featured":false,"homepagePinned":false},{"id":"01a07d81-672b-5045-88fd-922d45babcef","name":"Hacktoberfest Meetup Kashipur x CoderFriends","slug":"hacktoberfest-meet-up-kashipur-x-coderfriends","format":"hackday","status":"ended","kind":"fest","startsAt":"2026-10-03T05:30:00.000Z","endsAt":"2026-10-03T13:30:00.000Z","timeZone":"Asia/Kolkata","description":"Lets Code and Build\r\nHacktoberfest events are happening all month long so you can join your friends day or night, from dusk to dawn, as you work to complete your pull/merge requests.

It's who owns the intelligence your product runs on. The Open Intelligence Summit brings together the builders, founders and researchers pushing to keep AI portable, interoperable and under your control.\n\n​Workshop Day is where that becomes practical.

In 2026 it moves away from counting pull requests and towards hands-on learning with open-source AI and open-weight models, through 300+ in-person events around the world. This meetup is one of them.\r\n\r\nThe day has four sessions:\r\n\r\n🗣️ The real state of open source (about 35 minutes): how open source actually works in 2026, and how to contribute in ways maintainers value.\r\n\r\n💻 Hands-on with Git and GitHub (about 60 minutes): branches, commits and pull requests, practised on your own laptop with mentors on the floor. This is the core workshop of the day.\r\n\r\n🤖 Open-weight AI models (about 50 minutes): what open-weight means, and how to find, run and build with these models.\r\n\r\n💼 Careers in the AI era (about 50 minutes): what teams hire for now, and how open-source work becomes your portfolio.\r\n\r\nSpeakers will be announced soon. Between and after sessions there is time to meet people, get help with your own repos, and make a first contribution with a mentor sitting next to you.\r\n\r\n📈 Why now: India added over 5 million developers on GitHub in the past year and is now the largest open-source contributor base in the world (GitHub Octoverse 2025). A lot of that energy is in Delhi NCR, and this meetup is a low-pressure way to be part of it.\r\n\r\n👥 Who it is for: college students in any year or branch, early-career developers, and anyone curious about open-source AI — designers, writers and founders included. No prior open-source experience is needed. Open to everyone aged 13+.\r\n\r\n🎁 What you leave with: real Git practice, a clearer picture of open-weight AI, career advice from people who build and hire, and an official Hacktoberfest participation certificate. Free food and swag for attendees.\r\n\r\n📍 Venue: Coding Blocks, PP Tower, Netaji Subhash Place, Pitampura — about a 5-minute walk from Netaji Subhash Place Metro (Red Line).

Para lograrlo en ese tiempo, el uso de inteligencia artificial no es opcional: queremos que la IA sea tu copiloto durante todo el día, desde la exploración de la idea hasta la generación de código y la preparación del pitch.\r\n\r\n### Los equipos\r\n\r\nLos equipos se forman **el mismo día del evento**, así que no necesitas llegar con uno armado, aunque si puedes tener un acuerdo previo. Si vienes solo, te ayudamos a integrarte. Serán de **máximo 5 integrantes**, conformados por estudiantes de nivel superior, y damos preferencia a los equipos **multidisciplinarios**: programación, diseño, comunicación, negocios, ciencias naturales, ciencias de la salud, ingeniería y ciencias sociales resuelven mejor juntos que por separado. Cada equipo contará con un docente asesor (si no tienen un previamente acordado, se les asignará el día del evento). También contaremos con la participación de mentores que aportarán su experiencia a todos los equipos.\r\n\r\nNota: Cupo límitado. Se dará preferencia conforme al orden de registro.\r\n\r\n### Las presentaciones\r\n\r\nCada equipo tendrá **5 minutos máximo** para presentar su prototipo ante el jurado. Cuida el tiempo: un pitch breve y claro vale más que una demo larga que no se entiende.\r\n\r\n### Premiación\r\n\r\nLos premios son cortesía de MLH y de los patrocinadores asignados. Se anunciarán más adelante. Serán mayormente de carácter digital. Se premiará al primer lugar, premios adicionales sujetos a disponibilidad.\r\n\r\n### Registro y Check-in\r\nEl registro esta abierto desde el Lunes 17 de Agosto 2026. Cabe señalar que para hacer efectiva la participación, deberá realizarse en esta plataforma un Check-in el día del evento, con el fin de corroborar que efectivamente quien se pre-inscribio está participando.\r\n\r\n### Snacks\r\nLos participantes que se preinscriban, y al asistir al evento hagan check-in, serán considerados para recibir su bebida y snacks durante la ejecución del evento.\r\n\r\n### ¿Qué es GitHub?\r\n\r\nGitHub es la plataforma donde vive el software del mundo. Más de cien millones de desarrolladores la usan para guardar su código, llevar el historial de cada cambio y trabajar en equipo sin pisarse el trabajo unos a otros. Cada proyecto vive en un *repositorio*: una carpeta con superpoderes que registra quién hizo qué, cuándo y por qué, y que permite volver atrás cuando algo se rompe.\r\n\r\nPara un hackatón es la herramienta natural: tu equipo trabaja en paralelo sobre el mismo proyecto, el repositorio queda como evidencia pública de lo que construyeron, y ese enlace se vuelve parte de tu portafolio profesional.\r\n\r\n**GitHub es patrocinador de este evento**, y el uso de GitHub y GitHub Copilot forma parte de la rúbrica de evaluación. Sube tu proyecto a un repositorio desde el arranque y documenta el proceso.\r\n\r\n### ¿Qué es GitHub Copilot?\r\n\r\nGitHub Copilot es el asistente de programación con IA integrado en GitHub y en editores como Visual Studio Code. Sugiere líneas y funciones completas mientras escribes, explica código que no conoces, propone correcciones a errores y permite conversar con tu propio proyecto para entenderlo o modificarlo. En un hackatón de seis horas, es la diferencia entre una idea contada y una idea demostrada.\r\n\r\nCopilot es **gratuito para estudiantes verificados** a través del GitHub Student Developer Pack.\r\n\r\n### Requisitos\r\n\r\n1. **Trae tu propio equipo de cómputo** (y no olvides el cargador). Recomendamos traer extensiones.\r\n2. **Regístrate con anticipación** para obtener tu GitHub Student Developer Pack en https://education.github.com/pack — la verificación puede tardar **hasta 15 días**, así que hazlo cuanto antes. Si llegas el día del evento sin el pack activo, no podrás usar Copilot.\r\n\r\n### Quiénes organizamos\r\n\r\nEvento desarrollado por el **Capítulo Campeche de The AI Collective** en colaboración con la **Universidad Autónoma del Carmen**, siguiendo los lineamientos de **Hack Days** de **Major League Hacking (MLH)**, en el marco de la iniciativa **Hack for Humanity** de The AI Collective.\r\n\r\n**Comité Organizador**\r\n- Dr. César Octavio Guerra Guerrero\r\n- Dr. Benjamín Tass Herrera\r\n- Dr. José Alonso Pérez Cruz\r\n\r\nAl registrarte aceptas el Código de Conducta de MLH: https://github.com/MLH/mlh-policies/blob/main/code-of-conduct.md","websiteUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14620-hacktoberfest-hack-day-in-carmen-campeche-hack-for-humanity","registrationUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14620-hacktoberfest-hack-day-in-carmen-campeche-hack-for-humanity/register","logoUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/logos/events/019fd4ce-971d-467e-d2dc-6a38e650361f/hack-for-humanity-carmen-campeche_caf220982baf.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/019fd4ce-971d-467e-d2dc-6a38e650361f/hack-for-humanity-carmen-campeche_64c5b0bfbb62.jpg","seriesId":"01a0119b-f0f8-6572-18d9-df72fa74f9c3","seasonIdentifier":null,"eventApplicationId":null,"ohqId":null,"address":{"line1":"Av.

Explore open-source AI, experiment with open-weight models, hack on existing projects, and turn your ideas into something you can actually demo.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## What to Expect\r\n- **Build from scratch** and turn ideas into working projects\r\n- **Tackle real problems** using open-source and open-weight AI\r\n- **Experiment** with AI agents, LLMs, SLMs, and open-source model tooling\r\n- **Collaborate** in teams of 3–4 and build together\r\n- **Explore, break, iterate, and ship** something by the end of the day\r\n- **Demo your project** and present your work to the judges\r\n- **Compete** for prizes, recognition, and Hacktoberfest awards\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n## Challenge Tracks\r\n\r\n### 1. Best Open-Source AI Project\r\nBuild an original project where open-source or open-weight AI is an important part of how it works. You can create an agent skill, build with an open-weight LLM or SLM, or build/adapt an open-source model harness. Your project must be published in a public GitHub repository under an open-source license.\r\n---\r\n\r\nWhether you're a seasoned hacker or this is your first hackathon, bring your ideas, your team, and your laptop. There are no lectures to sit through and no workshops to follow — the day is yours to build.\r\n\r\n**Come with a problem.**  \r\n**Find an idea.**  \r\n**Build it. Break it.

For this Taiwan chapter, we’ll focus on local challenges that affect everyday life. From supporting families and caregivers to navigating disasters and protecting the information ecosystem, with the operational help of Major League Hacking, we’ll spend the day turning local problems into practical prototypes.\r\n\r\n​Whether you’re a developer, designer, researcher, domain expert, student, founder, or simply someone who cares about Taiwan’s future, you’re invited to build with us. You don’t need to arrive with a team or a fully formed idea, we’ll help you find collaborators and a problem worth solving.\r\n\r\n​The goal is not to build a perfect product in one day. It’s to understand a meaningful problem, create something useful, and leave with a prototype that can continue growing.\r\n\r\n​Taiwan’s four challenges tracks\r\n​Reversing the Birthrate Decline\r\n\r\n​Family Support Systems Taiwan has one of the lowest fertility rates in the world. For many families, the challenge is not simply whether to have children—it’s whether life with children feels manageable. Parents often struggle to find reliable information about childcare subsidies, locate available public preschools, and balance work, caregiving, and family life. How might we make family support easier to discover, understand, and access?\r\n\r\n​Potential data sources:\r\n\r\n​Ministry of the Interior population and household statistics\r\n\r\n​Ministry of Education preschool locations and vacancy data\r\n\r\n​Ministry of Health and Welfare childcare subsidy open data\r\n\r\n​2. Tech for a Super-Aged Society\r\n\r\n​Long-Term Care Taiwan is entering a super-aged society, with more than 20% of the population expected to be aged 65 or older by 2026. Caregivers are under increasing pressure, while many older adults face isolation, mobility challenges, and difficulty navigating long-term care services. How might technology help older adults live with greater independence—and help caregivers feel less alone?\r\n\r\n​Potential data sources:\r\n\r\n​Ministry of Health and Welfare Long-Term Care 2.0 service data\r\n\r\n​Ministry of the Interior aging index maps\r\n\r\n​Taiwan National Health Insurance open statistics\r\n\r\n​3. Civic Tech & Fighting Misinformation\r\n\r\n​Cognitive Resilience Taiwan’s information environment is fast-moving and increasingly complex. Misinformation spreads daily through LINE, social media, and online communities, affecting public trust and civic life. How might we help people assess information, understand public issues, and participate more confidently in society?\r\n\r\n​Potential data sources:\r\n\r\n​Cofacts（真的假的）open API\r\n\r\n​Central Election Commission voting and turnout data\r\n\r\n​g0v civic datasets\r\n\r\n​4. Climate & Disaster Resilience\r\n\r\n​Typhoons, Floods & Earthquakes\r\n\r\n​Taiwan is highly exposed to typhoons, torrential rain, flooding, and earthquakes. During a crisis, timely and understandable information can save lives. How might we help people prepare before disasters happen and make better decisions when they do?\r\n\r\n​Potential data sources:\r\n\r\n​Central Weather Administration APIs\r\n\r\n​Water Resources Agency flood sensors\r\n\r\n​National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction warning feeds\r\n\r\n​Build with Lovable\r\n​Lovable is the official Taiwan partner for this hackathon. Participants will receive Lovable credits to help turn their ideas into working prototypes quickly. Whether you’re an experienced developer or building your first product, Lovable gives teams a way to move from concept to usable interface and testable idea in a short amount of time. Bring a problem you care about. We’ll help you build a first version.\r\n\r\n​Who should join?\r\n​Developers and software engineers\r\n\r\n​Designers and product thinkers\r\n\r\n​Data scientists and researchers\r\n\r\n​Students and first-time hackers\r\n\r\n​Civic innovators and social entrepreneurs\r\n\r\n​People working in healthcare, education, climate, public policy, or community services\r\n\r\n​You can participate as an individual or join a team on the day. All experience levels are welcome.\r\n\r\n​Event details\r\n​Date: Saturday, October 17, 2026\r\n\r\n​Time: 12pm to 7pm\r\n\r\n​Location: collaplay, Ximen, Taipei\r\n\r\n​Organizers: The AI Collective Taipei × Major League Hacking Official Taiwan partner: Lovable\r\n\r\n​Cost: Free\r\n\r\n​Language: English & Mandarin\r\n\r\n​Please bring a charged laptop. More details will be announced soon.\r\n\r\n​About Hack for Humanity\r\n​Hack for Humanity is a global initiative by The AI Collective focused on building technology that addresses real challenges in local communities. Every city brings its own context, needs, and perspective. By building locally and sharing globally, we can create solutions that are grounded in real life—and contribute to a more human-centered future for technology. Join us in Taipei and help build something that matters.\r\n\r\n​Please be advised: Unfortunately, space is very limited at these community events and we can not always accept everyone we would like to.

The days of chasing arbitrary pull-request counts are in the past; this year, we’re coming together for a high-impact, in-person Hack Day focused on hands-on building, experimenting, and shipping with open-source AI and open-weight models.\r\n​Organized by Hackerspace Mumbai in collaboration with our Ecosystem Partner, Paytm, this one-day fest gathers Mumbai’s developers, students, researchers, and builders to explore the frontier of open AI tooling.\r\n​What We’re Hacking On\r\n​Instead of small PR tweaks, this Hack Day is all about practical, builder-first collaboration:\r\n​Open-Source AI Agents: Orchestrating multi-agent systems, autonomous workflows, and agent evaluation.\r\n​Open-Weight & Local Models: Running, benchmarking, and fine-tuning models locally using Ollama, vLLM, and Hugging Face.\r\n​Modern Developer Protocols: Implementing tool-use, skills.md, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and secure agent identities.\r\n​Full-Stack AI Apps: Building practical RAG pipelines and integrating open AI models into everyday web, mobile, and backend apps.\r\n​Who Should Attend?\r\n​Whether you run models on dedicated local GPUs or call APIs from lightweight notebooks, there is a table for you:\r\n​Solo Hackers & Project Leads: Bring an open-source repo, prototype an agentic idea, or build out an open-weight tool.\r\n​Collaborators & First-Time AI Builders: Team up with other builders on sprint challenges, scaffold tools, and learn modern open-source AI workflows hands-on.\r\n​Mentors & Maintainers: Facilitate project tables, guide peers through model runtimes, and review architectures.","websiteUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14825-hacktoberfest-hack-day-mumbai","registrationUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14825-hacktoberfest-hack-day-mumbai/register","logoUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/logos/events/01a06a83-8e4d-2a94-0c85-5574d5d52116/hacktoberfest-2026-mumbai_97ab86b0e833.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/01a06a83-8e4d-2a94-0c85-5574d5d52116/hacktoberfest-2026-mumbai_ba9fb4497e56.png","seriesId":"01a0119b-f0f8-6572-18d9-df72fa74f9c3","seasonIdentifier":null,"eventApplicationId":null,"ohqId":null,"address":{"line1":"Waterstones Corporate Park","line2":"Paytm, Unit No. 3 & 4A, 3rd Floor,","line3":null,"city":"Mumbai","state":"Maharashtra","postalCode":"400059","country":"IN","latitude":19.104692,"longitude":72.8771118},"featured":false,"homepagePinned":false},{"id":"01a0f741-d0d6-0ec1-81d6-ed0ca11594d1","name":"Hacktoberfest Hack Day Pune x Poona College","slug":"hacktoberfest-codecraft-2026-poona-college-pune","format":"hackday","status":"pending","kind":"fest","startsAt":"2026-10-17T04:30:00.000Z","endsAt":"2026-10-17T11:30:00.000Z","timeZone":"Asia/Kolkata","description":"🚀 Join CodeCraft for Hack Day!\r\n\r\nPoona College’s CodeCraft 2026 is hosting a one-day, Hacktoberfest Hackathon where participants can turn their ideas into real projects using open-source and open-weight AI.\r\n\r\n💻 Bring your laptop\r\n🧠 Bring your ideas\r\n🔥 Build, experiment, and innovate\r\n🏆 Compete for the Best Open-Source AI Project challenge.\r\n\r\nWhether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, come ready to learn, collaborate, and build something exciting with AI and open source.\r\n\r\n📍 Poona College\r\n🤝 Organized by Department of B.VOC Software Development\r\n📅 CodeCraft | One-Day In-Person Hackathon\r\n\r\nBuild.

One café. Your idea, built with AI.\r\n\r\nHacktoberfest 2026 is about open-source AI, and this Hack Day is for people who would rather build than watch. Bring a half-baked idea (or none at all) and by 15:00 you'll have something running, in front of a room of people who get it.\r\n\r\nHOW THE DAY WORKS\r\n- Come solo or with friends, in teams of any size. We help you form a team on the spot if you need one.\r\n- Pick your own idea: a bot, a script, a tool, an agent, a weird experiment. If you built it and it uses AI, it counts.\r\n- Use whatever helps you build: open-weight models, open-source tools, or an AI coding assistant. Projects that are open source and use open-weight models get extra love in the final vote.\r\n- At the end, push your project to a public repo (we'll help if it's your first time) and show a 2-minute demo.\r\n- No judging panel. Friendly demos, and the room votes for its favourites.\r\n\r\nDETAILS\r\n📅 Saturday, October 17, 2026\r\n🕙 10:00–15:00\r\n📍 CoffeeLea Atatürk, Baku\r\n💸 Free to attend.\r\n👥 Limited seats (it's a café!)\r\n🎒 Bring: a laptop, a charger, a GitHub account (or we'll set one up at the door)\r\n\r\nWHO IT'S FOR\r\nStudents, graduates, developers and self-taught tinkerers, 18+.

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

Bring your laptop and your excitement to learn and try. No AI skills needed to join, but the more you have, the further you'll go.\r\n\r\nWe'll start our day with a full 60-minute session hosted by the Practical AI Thessaloniki meetup all about **using coding agents in production systems**: what brought us here, the ways you can put them to work, and an honest discussion on when vibe coding actually makes sense versus when it doesn't. Finally, we'll dig into what really happens when AI-built products go live with real users.\r\n\r\nRight after that, you will be assigned to teams and randomly receive a fun product brief to work on for the next couple of hours, hands-on, from start to finish, using open source AI tools, putting everything we just talked about in practice.\r\n\r\nAnd once we are all done, you will have three whole minutes to show us what you 've done, get the audience votes, and be crowned our Hacktoberfest 2026 winners (which is going to earn you more than the bragging rights!).\r\n\r\n📍 Where: fromScratch Studio office, Themistokli Sofouli 70A, 54655, Thessaloniki, [map](https://maps.app.goo.gl/94PyxEnSv6dve9vR8)\r\n\r\n🍻 Refreshments on us. 🧑‍💻 Bring your laptop!\r\n\r\n🎟 RSVP: everyone must pre-register on the MLH platform.

Teams of 2–4. Improve one small corner of the world for humanity.\r\n\r\nA patient's covered claim gets denied and she never appeals — not because she'd lose, but because appealing costs more than the claim is worth. A child's IEP promises 90 minutes of therapy a week, and whether she got it lives on paper sign-in sheets nobody reconciles until the annual review. No rule was broken in either story. 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 B · Campus Safety Report — Clery reporting assembled by hand from six offices C · Care Denied — the appeal nobody has hours to file D · Services Owed — IEP service minutes promised vs. delivered E · 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.

Hack Day Bengaluru x OLake** is a one-day, in-person hackathon at the OLake office in HSR Layout, focused on open-source AI.\r\n\r\n## The challenge: Ask OLake\r\n\r\n[OLake](https://olake.io) is an open-source data platform with two parts:\r\n\r\n- **OLake ingestion** copies data from databases and streams (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Oracle, MSSQL, DB2, Kafka, S3) into Apache Iceberg or Parquet.\r\n- **OLake Fusion** keeps those Iceberg tables healthy with automated maintenance such as compaction.\r\n\r\nBuild a chat assistant for the [OLake docs](https://olake.io/docs) that answers user questions about both: setup, source configuration, sync modes, catalogs, table maintenance, deployment and troubleshooting.\r\n\r\nUse the OLake docs and the open-source repos (olake, olake-ui, olake-helm, olake-fusion). Bring in outside sources when the docs aren't enough. Every answer must cite its sources and say clearly when it doesn't know.\r\n\r\nIt will run on a public website, so build it as if it's going to production.\r\n\r\n## Format\r\n\r\n- **Individual** hackathon, 12 hours, in person\r\n- Open to working professionals\r\n- LLM API credits provided\r\n\r\n## What to submit (by 6:30 PM)\r\n\r\n- A publicly reachable endpoint: `POST /ask` with `{\"question\": \"...\"}` returning `{\"answer\": \"...\", \"sources\": [\"<url>\", ...]}`\r\n- A chat UI that can be embedded in a docs site\r\n- Your repo, with a README explaining your architecture and design choices\r\n\r\n## Judging\r\n\r\n| Area | Points |\r\n|---|---|\r\n| Answer accuracy | 35 |\r\n| Citations and honesty | 15 |\r\n| Production readiness | 20 |\r\n| UX and easy embedding | 15 |\r\n| Engineering (freshness, latency, cost) | 15 |\r\n\r\nAll submissions are scored on the same test set after code freeze. The top 10 present live to the judges.\r\n\r\n## Make your hackday smoother\r\n- Star OLake on [GitHub] (https://github.com/datazip-inc) for easy access to the repo\r\n- Skim the [OLake docs](https://olake.io/docs) so you know how we work\r\n- Join OLake on [Slack] (https://olake.io/slack/) to stay updated on events, PRs, contests, and more!\r\n\r\nHappy hacking! #Hacktoberfest","websiteUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/15468-hacktoberfest-hack-day-bengaluru-x-olake","registrationUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/15468-hacktoberfest-hack-day-bengaluru-x-olake/register","logoUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/logos/events/01a0f6fb-72b6-b7e2-985b-5ee184f7290a/lakehouse-bot-day-hacktoberfest-bengaluru-x-olake_394ed270b347.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/01a0f6fb-72b6-b7e2-985b-5ee184f7290a/lakehouse-bot-day-hacktoberfest-bengaluru-x-olake_1bf880d9424a.png","seriesId":"01a0119b-f0f8-6572-18d9-df72fa74f9c3","seasonIdentifier":null,"eventApplicationId":null,"ohqId":null,"address":{"line1":"HustleHub H203, 522, ","line2":"24th Main Rd, Parangi Palaya, Sector 2, HSR Layout, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560102","line3":null,"city":"BENGALURU","state":"Karnataka","postalCode":"560102","country":"IN","latitude":12.9097952,"longitude":77.64913159999999},"featured":false,"homepagePinned":false},{"id":"01a0f731-1fc8-3609-ec4b-8e52496c9758","name":"Hacktoberfest Hack Day Lahore x Fluxxion","slug":"hacktoberfest-hack-day-lahore-x-fluxxion","format":"hackday","status":"pending","kind":"fest","startsAt":"2026-10-18T05:00:00.000Z","endsAt":"2026-10-18T11:00:00.000Z","timeZone":"Asia/Karachi","description":"## Hacktoberfest Hack Day Lahore x Fluxxion\r\n\r\nJoin us for a one-day open-source AI hack day in Lahore!

Idea on yksinkertainen: etsit projektin, teet siihen parannuksen ja lähetät pull requestin. Ei tarvitse olla konkari — dokumentaation korjaus tai käännös on yhtä lailla kelvollinen kontribuutio kuin uusi ominaisuus.\r\n\r\nMeillä paikan päällä:\r\n\r\napua ensimmäisen pull requestin tekoon, jos git ja GitHub eivät ole ennestään tuttuja\r\nvinkkejä siitä, mistä löytää aloittelijaystävällisiä projekteja\r\nhyvää seuraa, joka koodaa samassa tilassa\r\n\r\nOta oma läppäri mukaan. Tapahtuma on avoin kaikille, jäsenyyttä ei tarvita. Tervetuloa myös vain katsomaan, mitä labilla puuhataan.\r\n\r\nOctober is Hacktoberfest month, and we're celebrating it as part of our open doors on Tuesday 20 October, from 18:00 (at the latest) to 20:00 (at the earliest), at Karjakatu 35b, Turku.\r\n\r\nHacktoberfest is a month-long global event that encourages people to contribute to open source projects. The idea is simple: find a project, make an improvement, and send a pull request. You don't need to be a veteran — fixing documentation or adding a translation counts just as much as a new feature.\r\n\r\nOn site we'll have:\r\n\r\nhelp with your first pull request, if git and GitHub aren't familiar yet\r\ntips on where to find beginner-friendly projects\r\ngood company coding in the same room\r\n\r\nBring your own laptop. The event is open to everyone, no membership required. You're also welcome to just drop by and see what we get up to at the lab.","websiteUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14814-hacktoberfest-meetup-turku-x-hacklab-turku","registrationUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14814-hacktoberfest-meetup-turku-x-hacklab-turku/register","logoUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/logos/events/01a069ab-6b61-a810-2498-1e21c7db2026/hacktoberfest-meet-up-turku-x-hacklab-turku_2f8e9dab1fb8.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/01a069ab-6b61-a810-2498-1e21c7db2026/hacktoberfest-meet-up-turku-x-hacklab-turku_975a9c90c093.jpg","seriesId":"01a0119b-f0f8-6572-18d9-df72fa74f9c3","seasonIdentifier":null,"eventApplicationId":null,"ohqId":null,"address":{"line1":"Karjakatu 35b","line2":null,"line3":null,"city":"Turku","state":"Varsinais-Suomi","postalCode":"20520","country":"FI","latitude":60.4495009,"longitude":22.3081276},"featured":false,"homepagePinned":false},{"id":"01a0ee70-18dc-4a79-66fa-8c046c8d34a9","name":"Hacktoberfest Meetup Birmingham x UAB Women IN Tech","slug":"hacktoberfest-meetup-birmingham-x-uab-women-in-tech","format":"hackday","status":"pending","kind":"fest","startsAt":"2026-10-20T17:00:00.000Z","endsAt":"2026-10-20T20:00:00.000Z","timeZone":"UTC","description":"Women In Tech wants to invite you to talk to hackathon veterans from UAB!

A talk on open source and open-weight AI — why it matters and concrete ways to get started, whether that means writing your first skills.md, running an open model locally, or building a small agent.

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 two featured talks, 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## Beyond the First PR: The Engineering Behind Maintaining Open Source\r\n\r\nBy Aishwarya Elango\r\n\r\nWhat happens after you open-source a project?\r\n\r\nAishwarya will share her experience building and open-sourcing the WDS Operations Portal, and what it takes to make a codebase maintainable and contributor-friendly.\r\n\r\nFrom a maintainer’s perspective, we’ll cover:\r\n\r\n🏗️ System architecture — structure and key engineering decisions\r\n🐛 Issues — creating clear bugs, enhancements, and first-time contributions\r\n🔀 Pull requests — reviewing and deciding what is ready to merge\r\n🧹 Code quality — evaluating correctness, security, readability, and maintainability\r\n🧩 Codebase maintenance — managing technical debt, documentation, and project conventions\r\n🌱 Contributor experience — making it easier for new developers to understand and contribute\r\n\r\nA practical look at the engineering work behind maintaining an open-source project beyond the first PR.\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_d2c8775b0ecc.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/01a06a21-2430-4182-c13c-95606fbf68e7/hacktoberfest-meet-up-singapore-x-juniordevsg_9df2b73ad2fb.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},"featured":false,"homepagePinned":false},{"id":"01a0f6fc-b9ae-1237-9eb7-d20249476c12","name":"Hacktoberfest Hack Day Pune x Google Developer Group on Campus - VU","slug":"hacktoberfest-hack-day-pune-x-google-developer-group-on-campus-vu","format":"hackday","status":"pending","kind":"fest","startsAt":"2026-10-22T12:00:00.000Z","endsAt":"2026-10-22T18:00:00.000Z","timeZone":"UTC","description":"Hacktoberfest events are happening all month long so you can join your friends day or night, from dusk to dawn, as you work to complete your pull/merge requests.\r\n\r\nHappy hacking!","websiteUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/15476-hacktoberfest-hack-day-pune-x-google-developer-group-on-campus-vu","registrationUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/15476-hacktoberfest-hack-day-pune-x-google-developer-group-on-campus-vu/register","logoUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/logos/events/01a0f6fc-b9ae-1237-9eb7-d20249476c12/hacktoberfest-hack-day-pune-x-google-developer-group-on-campus-vu_dce432c389a5.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/01a0f6fc-b9ae-1237-9eb7-d20249476c12/hacktoberfest-hack-day-pune-x-google-developer-group-on-campus-vu_c6b355f58599.png","seriesId":"01a0119b-f0f8-6572-18d9-df72fa74f9c3","seasonIdentifier":null,"eventApplicationId":null,"ohqId":null,"address":{"line1":"Survey No 2 3, 4, Kondhwa Main Rd, Laxmi Nagar, Betal Nagar, Kondhwa, Pune, Maharashtra 411048","line2":null,"line3":null,"city":"Pune","state":"Maharashtra","postalCode":"411048","country":"IN","latitude":18.4640611,"longitude":73.8803824},"featured":false,"homepagePinned":false},{"id":"01a0f710-8a8d-f387-7b89-9d8dd14a72eb","name":"Hacktoberfest Meetup Winter Park x Orlando Devs","slug":"hacktoberfest-meetup-winter-park-x-orlando-devs","format":"hackday","status":"pending","kind":"fest","startsAt":"2026-10-22T22:30:00.000Z","endsAt":"2026-10-23T01:30:00.000Z","timeZone":"America/New_York","description":"Join Orlando Devs for a Hacktoberfest 2026 meetup!\r\n\r\nFrom Hacktoberfest\r\n\r\n\"Hacktoberfest has always been about empowering people to build open software together. For years, that energy was measured by pull requests and developers making their first open-source contributions. But open source was never defined by a PR counter. Open source is a philosophy centered on transparency and collective ownership.\r\nIn an era where AI tools make low-effort PRs easier than ever to generate, maintainers face unprecedented volume and noise. This year, Hacktoberfest is focused on high-value, meaningful learning: giving everyone the tools and knowledge to experiment and build with open artificial intelligence.\r\nBy joining Hacktoberfest, online or in-person, you can expect to learn about open-weight models, open source agents, and more. We believe open innovation must be prioritized alongside proprietary tools for an ecosystem to remain healthy and resilient. Instead of counting PRs, you’ll write your first skills.md, build your own open-source agent, fine-tune an open-weight model, or go wherever your curiosity takes you.\r\nHacktoberfest 2026 is about meeting you wherever you are in your open source AI journey because we believe AI belongs to everyone.\"\r\n\r\nhttps://hacktoberfest.com\r\n\r\nThis will be a session focused on skills and tools for open source contribution and a preview of the hackathon for the Central Florida Devfest https://devfestflorida.com where you can put those skills and tools to use!","websiteUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/15493-hacktoberfest-meetup-winter-park-x-orlando-devs","registrationUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/15493-hacktoberfest-meetup-winter-park-x-orlando-devs/register","logoUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/logos/events/01a0f710-8a8d-f387-7b89-9d8dd14a72eb/hacktoberfest-meetup-winter-park-x-orlando-devs_8a4046ac7743.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/01a0f710-8a8d-f387-7b89-9d8dd14a72eb/hacktoberfest-meetup-winter-park-x-orlando-devs_c9476fc6c3e2.jpg","seriesId":"01a0119b-f0f8-6572-18d9-df72fa74f9c3","seasonIdentifier":null,"eventApplicationId":null,"ohqId":null,"address":{"line1":"1550 S Lakemont Ave","line2":null,"line3":null,"city":"Winter Park","state":"Fl","postalCode":"32792","country":"US","latitude":28.5809658,"longitude":-81.32740799999999},"featured":false,"homepagePinned":false},{"id":"5db6503b-d5a6-4695-b04c-d1ad0bd55b98","name":"GatorHack","slug":"gatorhack","format":null,"status":"pending","kind":"popup","startsAt":"2026-10-23T00:00:00.000Z","endsAt":"2026-10-25T00:00:00.000Z","timeZone":null,"description":"Gator Hack is the hackathon of UF AI Days 2026, hosted by the University of Florida.

Whether you are opening GitHub for the first time or already contribute to projects, you are welcome to join, learn alongside other builders, and discover how small contributions can make a difference.\r\n\r\nOpen source is built by people who share ideas, solve problems, and improve tools together. This event is a chance to explore that spirit in a supportive community, meet fellow students who enjoy building, and take a step toward contributing to projects used by people around the world. You do not need to be an expert to participate. Bring your questions, curiosity, and willingness to try something new.\r\n\r\nWe will come together to learn about open source contribution and find ways to get involved. You can connect with other attendees, exchange ideas, explore projects that interest you, and build confidence as you learn. If you have contributed before, share what you have learned and help make the community welcoming for someone taking their first steps. If this is new to you, come ready to explore at your own pace and ask questions.\r\n\r\nBring your laptop and make sure you can access your GitHub account so you are ready to explore projects and participate. Most of all, bring an open mind and a collaborative attitude. Every contribution starts somewhere, and even a small improvement can help a project grow.\r\n\r\nCome celebrate Hacktoberfest with the AWS Student Builder Group, connect with fellow builders, and experience the value of creating together. All experience levels are welcome. We look forward to seeing you and sharing an inspiring day of learning, connection, and open source.

You'll have 5 hours to turn an idea into a working prototype — no fixed direction, just you, an idea, and a team. A partner track will be announced closer to the event, so keep an eye on updates.\r\n\r\nHow it will work:\r\n\r\n1. 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.

Real problems. One day.\r\n\r\nMost AI demos live in the cloud. This one lives on your laptop.\r\n\r\nOn Saturday, October 24, the ForgeBots Club (College of Computing, UM6P) is turning a lab into a build floor for open-source AI. Bring an idea, or pick one up on the day, find your team, and ship something that works before the day ends.\r\n\r\nThe only rule: open-source AI has to do the real work. After that, build what you'd actually want to use. A browser assistant that reads pages for you. A tool that makes sense of robot data. Something that catches scam messages. Something we haven't thought of yet.\r\n\r\nRoboticists, developers, security people, AI nerds and curious beginners all have a seat. The best teams mix skills, so we'll help you form one at check-in. Come solo or bring your crew (up to 4 per team).\r\n\r\nHow the day goes: check-in at 10:00, building through the day, demos and awards around 16:00. You'll compete across four DEV Badge tracks (Agent Skill, Open-Weight LLM, Open-Weight SLM, Open-Source Model Harness), and everyone who shows up gets an official Hacktoberfest participation certificate.\r\n\r\nBring a laptop, a charger and some curiosity. We'll send setup steps beforehand so you can download models at home, because venue Wi-Fi doesn't enjoy 40 people pulling gigabytes at once.\r\n\r\nFree. Beginners welcome. Seats are limited, so register early.\r\n\r\nThis event follows the MLH Code of Conduct.\r\n\r\nHappy hacking!","websiteUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/15514-hacktoberfest-hack-day-rabat-x-forgebots-club-um6p","registrationUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/15514-hacktoberfest-hack-day-rabat-x-forgebots-club-um6p/register","logoUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/logos/events/01a0f72f-e11a-8855-3417-2ac081617ea2/hacktoberfest-hack-day-rabat-x-forgebots-club-um6p_796bef922352.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/01a0f72f-e11a-8855-3417-2ac081617ea2/hacktoberfest-hack-day-rabat-x-forgebots-club-um6p_520210342ffc.png","seriesId":"01a0119b-f0f8-6572-18d9-df72fa74f9c3","seasonIdentifier":null,"eventApplicationId":null,"ohqId":null,"address":{"line1":"Technopolis, Rocade de Rabat-Salé","line2":"College of Computing Building","line3":null,"city":"Sala Al Jadida","state":"Rabat-Salé-Kénitra","postalCode":"11100","country":"MA","latitude":34.0169146,"longitude":-6.7892362},"featured":false,"homepagePinned":false},{"id":"01a0f72f-7b58-0090-b676-9d4d1c3203ef","name":"Hacktoberfest Hack Day Gombe x Abeltrust Labs","slug":"hacktoberfest-hack-day-gombe-x-abeltrust-labs","format":"hackday","status":"pending","kind":"fest","startsAt":"2026-10-24T09:00:00.000Z","endsAt":"2026-10-24T16:00:00.000Z","timeZone":"UTC","description":"Hacktoberfest Hack Day Gombe x Abeltrust Labs is a one-day, in-person open-source community event bringing developers, students, creators, and technology enthusiasts together in Gombe to learn, collaborate, and contribute to open-source projects.\r\nThe event is part of Hacktoberfest 2026, with a focus on open-source artificial intelligence, open-weight models, AI tools, and practical technology projects.\r\nParticipants will learn the basics of open-source contribution, Git and GitHub workflows, finding beginner-friendly issues, making contributions, and working together on real projects.\r\nNo advanced experience is required.

This is a a one-day build fest that brings students, builders, and small business owners together to build solutions that make Fredericksburg and the surrounding area better. \r\n\r\nHosted by The AI Collective Fredericksburg, VA Chapter in partnership with the University of Mary Washington, the event runs Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM in UMW's Digital Auditorium. Teams pick a real local problem, use AI tools to turn ideas into working prototypes, and pitch their results to a panel of judges at the end of the day. You do not need to be technical to take part: AI closes the gap between people who understand a problem and people who enjoy building, so a business owner with deep knowledge of a local challenge is as valuable as a software engineer. Seats are limited to 50 participants, and registration is open through October 10.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMore on Hacktoberfests and how you can get involved:\r\n\r\nHacktoberfest events are happening all month long so you can join your friends day or night, from dusk to dawn, as you work to complete your pull/merge requests.

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_828e0e7294d4.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/01a07803-77ad-7994-4b88-d6d541a4af3a/hacktoberfest-meet-up-bengaluru-x-failproof-ai_18ffb0e655da.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},"featured":false,"homepagePinned":false},{"id":"01a08485-fce8-9eaa-5c41-9c404f016d46","name":"Hacktoberfest Hack Day College Park x GDSC UMD","slug":"hacktoberfest-hack-day-college-park-x-gdsc-umd","format":"hackday","status":"pending","kind":"fest","startsAt":"2026-10-25T14:00:00.000Z","endsAt":"2026-10-26T00:00:00.000Z","timeZone":"America/New_York","description":"The Google Developer Student Club at UMD will be hosting a one-day hack fest for students to explore building with open source AI, in partnership with Major League Hacking.

Rust's speed, memory safety and small footprint make it a natural fit for running models efficiently, on everything from servers to ordinary laptops. A growing ecosystem of Rust crates now makes it possible to load and run open-weight models directly, without Python, cloud services or API keys.\r\n\r\nThis Hack Night is about exploring that intersection. Maybe you're curious how AI models actually run under the hood. Maybe you want to see what Rust brings to machine learning, or you just want to build something fun with AI running locally on your own machine. Whatever the reason, this evening is for you.\r\n\r\nNo prior AI experience is needed, and you don't need a powerful computer. Everything we'll work with runs on a normal laptop without a GPU. Beginners and experienced Rustaceans are equally welcome, and we'll help each other along the way.\r\n\r\nThe event is part of Hacktoberfest 2026, a global celebration of open source.\r\n\r\nAs always, we end the evening with a short show-and-tell, where anyone who wants to can share what they built.\r\n\r\nBring your laptop and your curiosity!\r\n\r\nFood\r\n\r\nPlease notice that this event does not include any food, so make sure to refuel before you arrive.

Ne vous inscrivez que si vous pouvez garantir votre présence du début à la fin pour préserver l'énergie du groupe et ne pas bloquer une place limitée ! (Un créneau dédié au networking court sera proposé séparément).\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\nPour la première fois, Hacktoberfest arrive dans les Alpes françaises !\r\n\r\nPendant 12 heures, nous allons réunir à Annecy développeurs, AI builders, contributeurs open source, entrepreneurs et entreprises locales autour d'un même objectif : se rencontrer, apprendre les uns des autres et construire des projets concrets grâce à l'IA et à l'open source.\r\n\r\nEt pas besoin d'arriver avec une équipe déjà constituée. Le principe du hackathon est justement de faire se rencontrer ceux qui ont des problèmes à résoudre, ceux qui ont des idées, ceux qui savent construire et ceux qui ont simplement envie d'apprendre en construisant.\r\n\r\nVous pouvez venir avec un case d'usage mais sans développeur : une tâche répétitive, un processus interne, un workflow client ou un problème métier que vous aimeriez automatiser. Vous rencontrerez sur place des AI builders et développeurs qui cherchent justement des problèmes réels sur lesquels travailler, expérimenter et apprendre.\r\n\r\nÀ l'inverse, vous pouvez venir en tant que porteur de projets sans projet précis en tête. Pas besoin d'avoir la prochaine grande idée de startup. Venez avec vos compétences, votre curiosité et l'envie de construire : nous vous aiderons à rencontrer des entrepreneurs et des entreprises qui ont des problèmes concrets à résoudre.\r\n\r\nEt si vous êtes déjà développeur, AI builder ou profil tech au sein d'une entreprise, vous pouvez évidemment venir avec votre propre équipe et votre propre use case.\r\n\r\nLe hackathon sera organisé autour de deux grands tracks.\r\n\r\n--- TECH FOR BUSINESS : Mettre l'IA au service de l'économie locale ---\r\n\r\nVous avez un problème métier et cherchez des personnes capables de vous aider à le prototyper ? Venez avec votre use case, nous vous aiderons à former une équipe autour de vous. PME, artisans, commerces, indépendants et entreprises industrielles pourront apporter une tâche répétitive, un processus interne, un workflow client ou tout autre problème opérationnel qu'ils aimeraient automatiser.\r\n\r\nMais Tech for Business s'adresse aussi aux entreprises qui ont déjà les compétences pour construire en interne.\r\n\r\nVous êtes développeur, AI builder, CTO, product manager ou membre d'une équipe tech et vous avez depuis des mois ce projet IA que vous n'avez jamais le temps de prototyper ? Prenez ces 12 heures pour construire pour votre propre entreprise. Venez seul ou avec vos collègues, choisissez une problématique métier réelle et profitez du hackathon comme d'un espace entièrement dédié pour passer de l'idée au prototype.\r\n\r\nDans les deux cas, l'objectif est le même : partir d'un vrai problème métier et essayer, en 12 heures, d'arriver à un premier agent, un prototype ou un plan de déploiement concret.\r\n\r\nEt surtout, vous construirez au milieu d'autres équipes confrontées aux mêmes questions, avec des spécialistes présents pour vous accompagner, challenger vos choix et vous aider lorsque vous bloquez. Même si vous venez pour construire pour votre propre entreprise, vous venez aussi pour apprendre des autres.\r\n\r\n--- TECH FOR OPEN SOURCE : Mettre l'IA au service de l'open source ---\r\n\r\nLe deuxième track sera consacré à celles et ceux qui souhaitent utiliser l'agentic coding pour augmenter leur capacité à contribuer à des projets open source.\r\n\r\nChoisissez un projet, formez une équipe et utilisez les outils d'IA pour comprendre une codebase, résoudre des issues, écrire des tests, améliorer la documentation, développer de nouvelles fonctionnalités ou simplement faire avancer un projet auquel vous avez envie de contribuer.\r\n\r\nEt dans les deux tracks, vous ne serez pas seuls face à votre ordinateur. \r\n\r\nParce que parfois, 12 heures à construire avec les bonnes personnes valent mieux qu'une conférence, une formation ou une journée de slides.\r\n\r\nCe n'est donc pas seulement un hackathon. C'est aussi un moment de rencontre entre des personnes qui, autrement, ne se seraient peut-être jamais retrouvées autour de la même table : entreprises locales, entrepreneurs, développeurs, spécialistes de l'IA et contributeurs open source.\r\n\r\nVenez avec un problème, une idée, un projet, vos compétences ou simplement l'envie de construire. On formera les équipes sur place.\r\n\r\nEt 12 heures plus tard, l'objectif est simple : avoir appris quelque chose, rencontré de nouvelles personnes et surtout… développer quelque chose de concret.","websiteUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14858-hacktoberfest-hack-day-annecy-x-looties","registrationUrl":"https://events.mlh.io/events/14858-hacktoberfest-hack-day-annecy-x-looties/register","logoUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/logos/events/01a07756-c0c2-2841-0207-8f26d0276170/hacktoberfest-hack-day-annecy-x-looties_d7964c78126b.png","backgroundUrl":"https://mlhusercontent.com/backgrounds/events/01a07756-c0c2-2841-0207-8f26d0276170/hacktoberfest-hack-day-annecy-x-looties_d8812d5fe770.png","seriesId":"01a0119b-f0f8-6572-18d9-df72fa74f9c3","seasonIdentifier":null,"eventApplicationId":null,"ohqId":null,"address":{"line1":"Le Village by CA des Savoie","line2":"2A Rue du Pré Faucon","line3":null,"city":"Annecy","state":"Haute-Savoie","postalCode":"74940","country":"FR","latitude":45.9281112,"longitude":6.1638628},"featured":false,"homepagePinned":false},{"id":"01a10fc7-2f7c-7ee4-d048-400c0210f7b6","name":"Hacktoberfest Hack Day Galway x Cybersecurity Society, University of Galway","slug":"hacktoberfest-hack-day-galway-x-cybersecurity-society-university-of-galway","format":"hackday","status":"pending","kind":"fest","startsAt":"2026-10-29T11:00:00.000Z","endsAt":"2026-10-29T17:00:00.000Z","timeZone":"Europe/Dublin","description":"Build Open is a Hacktoberfest Hack Day hosted by the Cybersecurity Society at the University of Galway.

Python Panamá (pythonpanama.org) es una comunidad voluntaria dedicada a hacer crecer el ecosistema de Python y open source en Panamá, a través de meetups, talleres, conferencias e iniciativas educativas que conectan a estudiantes, profesionales, educadores y entusiastas de la tecnología.\r\n\r\nEste año, Hacktoberfest está enfocado en inteligencia artificial de código abierto. Un día completo para aprender, colaborar y hacer tu contribución (o tu contribución número 50) a proyectos open source reales, con el acompañamiento de mentores.\r\n\r\nTendremos dos tracks:\r\n\r\nPrimeros Pasos – Para quienes nunca han tocado código, o ni siquiera saben qué es GitHub. No necesitas experiencia técnica: partimos desde cero (qué es un repositorio, qué es un pull request) y harás tu primera contribución real — puede ser código, documentación, traducción o encontrar y reportar un error — acompañado por un mentor en cada paso.\r\n\r\nIA de Código Abierto – Para quienes ya tienen experiencia y quieren contribuir a herramientas de IA abiertas: modelos open-weight, agentes open source, e integraciones con frameworks como Ollama. El ecosistema abierto necesita tantas manos como el propietario para mantenerse saludable.\r\n\r\n📅 31 de octubre de 2026, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM (hora de Panamá)\r\n📍 Ciudad de Panamá (sede por anunciar el 15 oct)\r\n\r\nTrae tu laptop, tu curiosidad, y ganas de aprender.

The AI Collective (https://www.aicollective.com/chapters/pensacola)  is a global non-profit building the human layer for the AI era. 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.
