DigitalOcean Currents: December 2019
What's this blog post about?
DigitalOcean's Hacktoberfest, a global event promoting open source software contributions, has seen continued growth and optimism among developers. A survey of over 5800 developers worldwide found that overall participation in open source projects increased from 55% in 2018 to 63% in 2019. However, some challenges remain, such as inclusivity and balancing the contributions of big tech companies. DigitalOcean plans to continue supporting the open source community through initiatives like Hacktoberfest and providing educational resources for developers at all stages of their journey.
