Anyone else finding themselves holding back PRs so they can submit them next month for ?

(Yes, I realise this makes me a bad person.)

(And, yes, I'm still sad they don't give out t-shirts any more.)

@Edent did they announce there’s no more shirts? 🥲

@Edent ah that’s why I don’t remember, I missed last year 😬

@Edent I'm somewhat confident I coined the term Hacktoberfest

@librenews interesting! Did you document it somewhere publicly?

@Edent Nope, though I could find something if I really wanted

@Edent But we began calling this Hackfest in Germany "Hacktoberfest" as the it was happening and the beer flowed. For all I know it wasn't the first usage but I noticed it cropping up soon after wiki.mozilla.org/OpenNews/2011

wiki.mozilla.orgOpenNews/2011 Archive/hackfest/berlin - MozillaWiki

I used to do this - especially with t-shirts at stake - but since last year I'm not as bothered 🤷🏽‍♂️

Now I try and raise PRs when I can, otherwise I'll forget about them 🙃
