Hacktoberfest 2025 Toledo

The opening of Toledo Codes’ Hacktoberfest 2025 gathering covered getting started with contributions to Next.js. Participants were directed to the project’s contribution guide and a video walkthrough, with encouragement to ask for help along the way.

The discussion included reading issue comments, checking whether a pull request already existed, and recognizing issue triage and pull-request review as useful contributions alongside code changes. Recorded progress updates described finding issues to work on and preparing the development environment, including cloning the repository and installing dependencies. The guidance gave contributors several ways to begin participating in an established open-source project.
