October contribution season
Hacktoberfest 2026 647,108 open issues
Issues maintainers tagged for October — the hacktoberfest label on the issue, or the hacktoberfest topic on the repository — still open, unclaimed and small enough to finish.
Since 2026 the official programme counts events, not pull requests; the tag is still the maintainers' invitation. Events near you: hacktoberfest.com.
