When: October 1st, 2025 till October 31th, 2025 Where: Discord
Every October, the worldwide open source community comes together to celebrate Hacktober – a month dedicated to sharing, learning, and building. This year, we’re joining in once again. We’ll be hosting a Show & Tell month, during which the community and we can showcase projects, share learnings, exchange code examples, and highlight interesting new topics from the developer bubble. Throughout October, we’ll meet in Discord – not just once, but all month long. It’s a chance to connect, get inspired, and see what others are working on.
Whether you’re a seasoned senior, a curious newcomer, or somewhere in between, you’re very welcome. Bring your ideas, your projects, or simply your curiosity. We’re excited to see what you’ll share!
This year we’re extra excited to welcome our friends from PayPal —who’ll be sharing their own insights and projects along the way.
We also want to make this month a chance to simply spend time together.
Grab a coffee, join a casual chat, or jump into a lighthearted game on Discord—no agenda, no pressure. It’s the perfect way to relax, meet fellow community members, and enjoy a friendly break between all the coding and Show & Tell sessions.
This year, we’re especially excited to welcome our friends from PayPal as part of our Hacktober celebrations. They’ll join us throughout the month to share their own projects, fresh ideas, and lessons learned from working at the intersection of development and commerce.
It’s a great chance to hear different perspectives, pick up practical insights, and spark new conversations across the community—all in the open, collaborative spirit that Hacktober is all about.
