It's Hacktoberfest season again!
Hacktoberfest is a way for us to raise awareness about open source software and encourage more developers or technical writers to contribute to the space.
We welcome both code and non-code contributions , such as docs improvement, tutorials, or blog posts.
There are three QuestDB projects accepting contributions:
- QuestDB: QuestDB core database written in Java and C++.
- Documentation: QuestDB docs site built with Docusaurus.
- Web console: QuestDB web console written in Typescript and React.
