Gracie Gregory (she/her)I'll bet you didn't know that all of those pumpkin spice flavors returning to coffee menus are actually in honor of 🎃 Preptember 🎃!
With Hacktoberfest less than a month away and open source maintainers spending September getting their repos ready for contributors, I'm curious about something...
Getting back in the mindset of being brand new to the open-source community, what expectations did you have about making contributions before your first-ever PR? What was the reality?
Hacktoberfest is obviously open to all levels of contributors, but it is a great opportunity for newbies to get involved in the ecosystem. With that in mind, I think it's important to put ourselves back in their shoes during Preptember. In doing so, hopefully your repos will be ready and welcoming to all contributors keen on making an impact.
Maintainers, I'd love your thoughts!
