As <a href="https://hacktoberfest.com">Hacktoberfest</a> has come to
an end, its time to look back and share our learnings.
Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open source software
(OSS) projects, their maintainers, and the entire community of
contributors. Each October, open source maintainers from all over
the world give extra attention to new contributors while guiding
them through their first pull requests on
<a href="https://github.com/ghostfolio/ghostfolio">GitHub</a>. This
year the event celebrated its 10th anniversary. At Ghostfolio, we
have participated in the event for the
<a href="../en/blog/2023/09/hacktoberfest-2023">second time</a> this
year.
</p>
<p>
In this debrief, well take a closer look at our journey during
Hacktoberfest, exploring the facts and figures, key takeaways, and
the impact on Ghostfolio.

<h2 class="h4">Hacktoberfest with Ghostfolio</h2>
<p>
<a href="https://ghostfol.io">Ghostfolio</a> is a modern web
application for managing personal finances. The software aggregates
your assets and empowers informed decision-making to help you
balance your portfolio or plan for future investments.
</p>
<p>
Our experience at Ghostfolio during Hacktoberfest 2023 has been
truly remarkable. Despite the absence of T-shirt rewards this year,
our expectations were exceeded in every way.
<a [routerLink]="routerLinkAbout">We</a> had the privilege of
collaborating with
<a
href="https://github.com/ghostfolio/ghostfolio/graphs/contributors"
>20 talented developers</a
>
from around the world, each bringing their unique skills and
backgrounds to our fintech project.

collective spirit of the open source community, even without
traditional incentives. It serves as a driving force for Ghostfolio

<h2 class="h4">Key Takeaways</h2>
<p>
Weve gathered some valuable takeaways from our experience to
consider for upcoming years. These insights can help us and fellow
open source projects make the most of Hacktoberfest:
</p>
<ul class="list-unstyled">
<li>
<h3 class="h5">Prepare early</h3>
<p>
Prospective contributors often begin looking for tasks as early
as the end of September. Preparing your project, organizing
issues, and setting clear goals in advance can help you attract
and engage more participants.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3 class="h5">Meet formal requirements</h3>
<p>
Ensure that your project aligns with Hacktoberfests formal
requirements and rules. Properly tag issues, provide clear
guidelines for contributions, and make sure your project is
accessible to newcomers.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3 class="h5">Allocate sufficient time</h3>
<p>
Being responsive and providing support to participants is
crucial. Allocate enough time to answer questions, review and
merge pull requests, and offer guidance to first-time
contributors. This level of support can significantly enhance
the experience for both contributors and maintainers.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3 class="h5">Provide clarity in descriptions</h3>
<p>
When creating issues for Hacktoberfest, be as clear as possible
in your descriptions. Including screenshots, links to code
examples, and detailed instructions can make it easier for
contributors to understand and complete the task successfully.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3 class="h5">Isolate tasks</h3>
<p>
Ideally, focus on tasks that are approachable for beginners, as
the setup and frameworks used can already be quite challenging.
This way, you can attract a wider range of contributors.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3 class="h5">Embrace learning</h3>
<p>
Understand that not every attempt will result in a successful
contribution. Its okay if a contributors pull request doesnt
make it into the project. Encourage a learning mindset and
provide constructive feedback, helping contributors grow and
improve over time.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
By following these takeaways, we can ensure a rewarding experience
for everyone taking part in future Hacktoberfest events.
</p>

<h2 class="h4">Thank you</h2>
<p>
Our experience with Hacktoberfest truly showcases the magic of open
source. The sense of community, mentorship, and our shared
dedication to software development is what motivates us at
Ghostfolio. As we look forward to future collaborations to make
personal finance and investing more accessible, we simply want to
thank everyone involved.
</p>
<p>
Keep coding and sharing your learnings!<br />
