This year was my first Hacktoberfest, and I really enjoyed the event. This was my first time trying to really get into open source. I appreciate ds912 for creating Good First Issues, which helped me find good open source projects that I felt like I was capable of contributing to, like the lovely Instascrape by @chrisgreening . I learned how Hacktoberfest is more than just submitting pull requests that serve some value, but also making connections with other people in the open source community. While Hacktoberfest wasn't executed perfectly this year, the celebration of open source certainly has had some positive impacts and has taught me a lot.
