Hacktoberfest is DigitalOcean’s annual event that encourages people to contribute to open source throughout October. Hacktoberfest is all about giving back to the community by contributing to open-source projects. The main point of Hacktoberfest is encouraging new open-source contributors whether you’re a seasoned contributor or looking for projects to contribute to for the first time, you’re welcome to participate!

What is ReciprocateX

ReciprocateX is a remote-first team on a mission to solve the complexity of managing datasets, ML Infrastructure, and ML model lifecycle management. It was started in 2018 by a data scientist and an engineer to fill in the gaps in the machine learning to production. Presently ReciprocateX is growing pretty fast, adoption of the ReciprocateX tools has significantly increased, and we have our contributors to thank (more than 300 in both code and docs) for developing open source projects such as DVC, CML, and MLEM with us.
