It has been hard to miss, for the past month Hacktoberfest was upon us again. As announced in our previous blogpost<\/a>, the Xamarin Community Toolkit participated as well, here is a little summary of how we did.<\/p>\n

Xamarin Community Toolkit<\/h2>\n

If you have missed what the Xamarin Community Toolkit is, let me bring you up to speed. Since Xamarin.Forms 5<\/a> will be the last major version of Forms before .NET 6, we wanted to have an intermediate library that can still add value for Forms in the meanwhile. However, why stop there? There is also a lot of converters, behaviors, effects, etc. that everyone is continually rewriting. To help avoid this, we consolidated all of those into the Xamarin Community Toolkit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing we are still ramping up and moving all the bits in place, but we expect a first stable version soon. That includes Docs<\/a>, a sample and an official blogpost announcing it right here. So stay tuned!<\/p>\n

Hacktoberfest 2020<\/h2>\n

Let me start off by thanking all<\/em> the contributors of the Toolkit that have already pitched in. Even before we have a version 1 launched, so many people from the community already contributed. Whether through contributing to the Docs, opening issues with ideas or pull requests with bugfixes and features.<\/p>\n

\n \"HacktoberFest\n<\/center><\/p>\n

We have done the math, and during October alone we had a whopping 62 pull requests on the Toolkit repo alone. That is 2 per day! And that is not even counting the Docs ones. Simply amazing.<\/p>\n

Therefore an extra shoutout to these 20 contributors that went above and beyond this month:<\/p>\n
