Motivations

We know it can be difficult to get into the whole open source thing at first. To help out, we started the HacktoberBot community project during Hacktoberfest 2018 to help introduce and encourage members to participate in contributing to open source, providing a calmer and helpful environment for those who want to be part of it.

This later evolved into a bot designed as a fun and beginner-friendly learning environment for writing bot features and learning open-source.
