Announcing the Winners of Open Source October's Grants πŸ’° and Badges 🎟

Find out who won grants for their favorite open source projects, and who earned badges for their contributions to the community.

October has been an amazing success for the #opensource community!

At Hashnode we celebrated it in style with our Symposium and Twitter Spaces. Writers won grants for their favorite #opensource projects, as well as exclusive badges, available only for the month of October! All they had to do was to write at least one article and tag it with #opensource between the 1st and the 31st of October. You can find more details about it here.

Thanks so much to everyone who participated! Your thoughts, ideas and tips have reached more people than you might realize. 😊

And now, drumroll, please... πŸ₯ time to announce the winners!
