If you're participating in Hacktoberfest this month, don't forget that this is the final week to get those pull-requests in!

It's been amazing to watch the community come together and expand this past month in the name of open source software. We've been reading contributors' stories, eyeing maintainers' projects, reviewing some truly awesome Forem contributions, and dreaming about all those trees planted 💚 In other words, we don't want this month to end!

As we head into the final moments of this group celebration of open source, be sure to check out this thread of projects seeking contributors if you're on the hunt, seek out any help you need here, and catch our Hacktoberfest streams featuring the Forem team and guests from the community. Details below.
