   <div class="post-content">
     <p>Github and DigitalOcean are organizing <a href="https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/">Hacktoberfest</a> again this year.</p>

 <p>Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open source software where people
 are encouraged to contribute to different open source projects. Each user who
 submits four pull requests to any Github hosted open source project of their
 choice will receive a free t-shirt.</p>

 <div class="imginline">

   <p class="img-caption">Hacktoberfest 2015 t-shirt.</p>
 </div>

 <p>This year we are also happy to announce that we have been selected as one of
 the highlighted Python projects which users are invited to check, play with it
 and contribute to.</p>

 <p>We think this is a great opportunity for both, long time users and contributors,
 but especially people who are new to open source to learn how open source works
 and participate.</p>

 <p>Having said that, we would like to invite anyone who is interested to participate
 and contribute to our project. You can find more information on contributing to
 Libcloud in our <a href="https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/development.html#contributing">contribution guide</a>.</p>
