Join Hacktoberfest 2021 and contribute to QuestDB!

Hacktoberfest 2021 is starting today! For the first time, QuestDB is participating as an open source project. We're super excited to meet with other open source contributors and maintainers.

For those who're not familiar with Hacktoberfest, it's a month-long online celebration for open source software and communities. By contributing to open source projects, you can get a special edition Hacktoberfest T-shirt 👕 or choose to plant a tree for our planet. 🌴

QuestDB at Hacktoberfest 2021

Many widely used open-source projects are maintained by a small number of developers or even a single person without any financial incentives. And we rely so much on their perseverance and commitment! Participating in Hacktoberfest is one of our approaches to raise awareness and encourage more people to contribute to open source. To celebrate Hacktoberfest, we put together some hints for you to get started.
