+I am sure you are excited about the [Open Source Hackathon](https://www.man.com/hackathon2019) on 2nd Nov 2019. To help everyone warm up and ready to go, we have organized a beginner's bootcamp for people who have not contributed to open-source before to come and make your first pull request (PR).
+
+Though this event is designed for beginners who will be attending the hackathon, it is **not limited** to those. Anyone who would like to make the PR for the first time, even not going to the hackathon you are also welcome. For non-beginner hackathon participants, you are also welcome to help mentoring others or social with other participants and talk about what you want to contribute in the hackathon.
+
+This year in October, you only need to make 4 PRs to win the [Hacktoberfest](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/) challenge (Free T-shirt!), make sure to sign up if you have not done so: [https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/)

+
+- Experienced open source contributors
