SUMMARY:Hacktoberfest 2026 Orlando
DESCRIPTION:Join Orlando Devs for a Hacktoberfest 2026 meetup! \nFrom Hacktoberfest \n“**Hacktoberfest has always been about empowering people to build open software together.** For years\, that energy was measured by pull requests and developers making their first open-source contributions. But open source was never defined by a PR counter. Open source is a philosophy centered on transparency and collective ownership.\nIn an era where AI tools make low-effort PRs easier than ever to generate\, maintainers face unprecedented volume and noise. **This year\, Hacktoberfest is focused on high-value\, meaningful learning: giving everyone the tools and knowledge to experiment and build with open artificial intelligence.**\nBy joining Hacktoberfest\, online or in-person\, you can expect to learn about open-weight models\, open source agents\, and more. **We believe open innovation must be prioritized alongside proprietary tools for an ecosystem to remain healthy and resilient.** Instead of counting PRs\, you’ll write your first skills.md\, build your own open-source agent\, fine-tune an open-weight model\, or go wherever your curiosity takes you.\nHacktoberfest 2026 is about meeting you wherever you are in your open source AI journey because we believe **AI belongs to everyone.”** \nhttps://hacktoberfest.com \nThis will be a session focused on skills and tools for open source contribution and a preview of the hackathon for the Central Florida Devfest https://devfestflorida.com where you can put those skills and tools to use!
