Announcing the 2019 Xamarin Hacktoberfest Awards

Samantha Houts

When we announced our participation in Hacktoberfest 2019 at the beginning of this month, we had no idea that we would get this kind of response. There were 178 pull requests opened by 72 contributors this year. Nearly double the number of pull requests we received last year. Outstanding!

Hacktoberfest Swag

Everyone who registered for this event and submitted a quality pull request will be receiving a sticker pack from us as a Xamagon-shaped symbol of our appreciation.  We’re excited to send these out and will be on the lookout for tweets showing off your newly decorated laptops, vehicles, and pets. Disclaimer: Please do not put the stickers on your pets, even if it would be super cute.

Hacktoberfest Contributors

Many of you submitted more than one pull request, but there were 15 individuals that went above and beyond to earn a stylish Xamarin t-shirt. We may not be literally giving you the shirts from our backs, but we certainly take off our hats to you. Job well done!
