We're kicking off this year's Code & Contribute: Hacktoberfest Edition with an exciting first session! Join us as Mesrenyame Dogbe shares insights on 'Making Money in Open Source' — uncovering the opportunities, strategies, and real stories that prove open source can be both impactful and rewarding. This event also marks the official introduction of our community-driven open-source project: Saji 🌍. Saji is building an open dataset of Ghana's Points of Interest (schools, hospitals, markets, landmarks, and more) — starting with Accra and Kumasi.

Dive deep into the world of open source licensing in our second episode! Understanding licenses is crucial for any developer contributing to or creating open source projects. Learn about different license types, what they mean for your contributions, and how to choose the right license for your projects. We'll also continue exploring contribution opportunities with Saji and other exciting open source projects.

Open source isn't just about writing code! Join us for 'Beyond Code: How Non-Developers Shape Open Source' where we'll explore the many ways to contribute to open source projects — from documentation and design to community management and testing. Discover how your unique skills can make a meaningful impact in the open source ecosystem, regardless of your technical background.

Join us for our grand finale as we celebrate 'Stories from the Open Source Journey'! Hear inspiring personal experiences from contributors who've made their mark in open source. From first-time contributors to seasoned maintainers, discover the challenges, victories, and transformative moments that define the open source journey. We'll also showcase the amazing contributions made to Saji and other projects during this year's Hacktoberfest!
