Another GitLab hackathon is completed, and I would like to begin by celebrating our contributors! Congratulations to everyone who participated and contributed to GitLab.
For this Hackathon and moving forward, we introduced five contribution areas to make it easier for everyone to contribute.
Accordingly, we will be awarding prizes for each of five areas: Security, Frontend, Backend, Technical Writing, and Website.
Highlights
- We received 223 MRs from 57 participants across 24 projects.
- As of the day of this post, 82% (185) MRs have been merged.
- It is worth mentioning that this has been the most diverse Hackathon regarding the number of projects that received contributions. 24 GitLab Projects when historically we have been receiving contributions across 15 projects
- Unfortunately we didn’t receive a security related contribution
- Contributions merged based on each contribution are:
- Backend: 85
- Frontend: 28
- Technical Writing: 47
- Website: 25
- Security: 0
What’s next!
- The next Hackathon will begin on the 2nd of August at 12:00 UTC and finish on the 9th of August at 12:00 UTC.
- June - July and until the next Hackathon is all about Backend. Explore our new initiative: Contribution Themed Months.
- Join our upcoming Office Hour calls for getting started to contribute to GitLab, ask any questions, or just hi!
How do I get started with contributing?
An excellent place to start is our new Contributing to GitLab page, where you can learn how to contribute GitLab code, documentation, translation, engagement, and UX design.
Hackathon prizes
Following the point system, we calculated each contributor’s points for each contribution area based on whether their MRs were contributing to the issues highlighted on the Hackathon’s page.
