News and Announcements

Sept 13th - Happy Programmers Day

Hacktoberfest is coming
CELEBRATE OUR 10TH YEAR SUPPORTING OPEN SOURCE!
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Hacktoberfest, and we’re calling on your support! Whether it’s your first time participating—or your tenth—it’s almost time to hack out four pristine pull/merge requests as we continue our month of support for open source.

Hacktoberfest has grown from 676 participants in 2014 to nearly 147,000 participants last year. To help ensure Hacktoberfest can be sustained for another decade, this year we’re moving away from a free t-shirt reward to a digital reward.

PREPTEMBER
September is the perfect time to prepare for Hacktoberfest. Get a jump start by finding projects to contribute to, adding the ‘hacktoberfest’ tag to your projects, or familiarizing yourself with Git.

CFMLers get AWS Certified
Daniel Garcia from Ortus, and a few other CFML Community members created a study group to complete the AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification, the first on many AWS tracks.
All of the group members who took the Certification exam passed, which is great for these developers, their employers, and the community.

If you are considering a certification, create a study group with friends or community members, it helps with learning, accountability and it’s great to socialize with like minded people.
