Hacktoberfest Meetup Singapore

Hacktoberfest Singapore is a community meetup for anyone interested in open source, collaboration and building in the open. The goal is simple: bring people together to share projects, exchange ideas, and find opportunities to contribute or collaborate. 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.

However, pushing past this barrier and making that leap opens up very interesting opportunities, both on a human and technical part. In 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,
