osmtl#3 Hacktoberfest special
Let’s kickoff the new season of meetups by diving into #Hacktoberfest! If you haven’t already heard about it, head over to https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/ and register to track your progress throughout the month.
Schedule: - 5:00pm Open doors, arrive early to meet the group - 6:00pm Start presentation of the day - 6:30pm Lightning talks
This month we’ll have Kim Noel talking about Open Source!
We’ll go through a kick run down of the history behind Hacktoberfest, an intro to open source and a short demo about contributing – what a documentation contribution looks like, what a code sample contribution looks like, and maybe even checkout some core code contributions! We will also explore what it takes to create a community around your open source project and how to help ensure folks feel safe approaching and contributing to your OSS project.
After this talk, we plan to have lightning talks from the crowd - five minutes each - about open source projects you love or worked on. If you want to present anything just make sure to arrive a bit earlier so that we can get your name on the list.

OSMTL#2 ipfs.pics + lightning talks!
Let’s get together along with the group of people already united around https://github.com/opensourcecities/montreal to share some ideas and start interesting open source related discussions :)
This month we’ll have Vincent Cloutier sharing his experience working on ipfs.pics:
ipfs.pics is getting reborn! ipfs.pics is an open-source photo sharing system with undeletable pictures (think of it as the anti-snapchat), that became quite large before overwhelming its creators with stars (900 stars on github), memes (russian), and porn (obviously). Its makers shut it down, but plans to keep things manageable have been devised. Lessons learned by managing a large community of users and developers will be shared, as well as things its creators wished they had known beforehand.
After this talk, we plan to have three lightning talks - five minutes each - about open source project’s YOU are working on. If you’d like to talk briefly about your project, GET IN TOUCH!
