6. The term Open Source refers to something people can modify and
share because its design is publicly accessible.
Open source software is software with source code that anyone can
inspect, modify, and enhance.
8. What did I learn from Hacktoberfest 2022?
● Just don’t complete the 4/4 pull request margin for name sake.
● Understand the whole workflow of Git & Github.
● Try to contribute under larger open source communities like
Layer5,AsyncAPI and more…
● Remember Open Source is all about Collaboration instead of
Competition.
