This repository tracks contributions to Umbraco that are not based on a pull request being submitted.

If you're doing anything significant during Hacktoberfest, please create a pull request to this README.md file to track it in one of the categories below, categories are:

• Low-code / no-code contributions
• New Umbraco packages

For the Digital Ocean Hacktoberfest participation, you need 4 contributions to be eligible for rewards. For the Umbraco specific Hacktoberfest participation you need 2 contributions to be eligible for rewards. ⭐ Please make sure to follow the Hacktoberfest rules.

And example of a participation entry is:

• - 2023-10-04 - Paula Philips - Blog post - [How to get started contributing to Umbraco](https://example.com) - Wrote a blog post describing my first time doing a code contribution to Umbraco

So the rough format is (feel free to adapt where needed): Date - Name - Type of low/no-code contribution - Link - Description.

Explore last year's list to get some inspiration.
