Another GitLab hackathon is completed, and I would like to begin by celebrating our community contributions! Congratulations to everyone who participated and contributed to GitLab.
This time, we had 208 submitted MRs, from 74 participants across 14 projects such as GitLab, Omnibus, GitLab Development Kit, CNG, Runner, and more. As of today, 160 MRs have been merged, which translates to 74% of the MRs submitted. The Hackathon’s Bitergia Dashboard has more information about the performance of the hackathon over the years.
This time we didn’t count any MRs contributing to Docs, as we will be hosting a separate Docs Hackathon starting next week.
Hackathon prizes
Following the point system that we introduced in the previous Hackathons, we calculated the points each contributor gathered based on whether their MRs were contributing towards the existing issues linked in the Hackathon page.
Please join me in congratulating all Hackathon contributors:
