Hacktoberfest 2024 Review

New article articles in ServiceNow Community · Nov 07, 2024 · article

October came and went so fast! Once again, this has been our most Successful [ServiceNow Hacktoberfest](https://devlink.sn/hacktoberfest) ever! Here are the numbers that shows off what our community did this year:

We **nearly doubled** the amount of contributions (pull requests) from last year. An 89% increase from last year for a total of **1375 Pull Requests**! Absolutely awesome. Last year was only a 40% increase, so this is all the more impressive.

This number should taper off eventually since forks persist year-to-year, but we still had a 35% increase from last year for a total of **888 forks created**.

* 453 participants (38% increase from 2023)
* 207 people created pull requests (+43%)
* 432 people created forks (+36%)
* 31 people created new issues (+24%)

This was a huge year for the community as the majority of this year's Hacktoberfest was run by volunteers (as in, not by the Developer Program).

These volunteers created projects, reviewed hundreds and hundreds of contributions, and answered all your questions:

**1,238 of the pull requests (that's 92%!) were reviewed by the volunteer team!**

Give them some love:

* Astrid Sapphire
* Shakeel Shaik
* Laszlo Balla
* Sandeep Dutta
* Earl Duque
* Sachin Namjoshi
* Nia McCash
* Adam Celli
* Carlos Camacho
* Paige
* Chris Helming
* Abhrajyoti Kanrar
* Martin Ivanov
* Paul Pradap Chandru
* Mohit Kaushik
* Ron Karim
* Ashutosh Munot
* Jerry Wong
* MGOPW

**Huge shout out to Astrid, Shakeel, Laszlo, and Sandeep!**

These four volunteers reviewed more than half of all contributions themselves. Each reviewing more than Earl did!

This event would not be what it is without our volunteers.

## Prizes

Okay, where's my badge and swag? We're working on validating on who should receive the community badge and swag redemption. We expect to do this by the end of November.

In the meantime, show off your digital holopin badges!

## Thank you

And finally, thank you to each of you who participated. The numbers are getting bigger each year, but in each of those numbers was your participation, your hard work, and your enthusiasm.

## KEEP GOING!

Open-sourced collaboration doesn’t end with Hacktoberfest! All of the [ServiceNowDevProgram](https://github.com/serviceNowDevProgram/) repositories remain open for contribution.
