ForgeLM is taking part in Hacktoberfest 2026

[cemililik]

Hacktoberfest 2026 runs through October, and this year's theme — open-weight models and open-source AI — is squarely ForgeLM's domain. The repository now carries the hacktoberfest topic and a hacktoberfest label.

One thing worth saying up front: as of this year, pull requests no longer count toward Hacktoberfest rewards. The label here is a discovery signal, not a reward track, and we would rather say that than imply otherwise.

What is genuinely useful to do here in October:

• first-timers-only — a few documentation issues reserved for a first pull request.
• Unassigned good first issues — this query.
• If you are at a Fest and want something to do in an afternoon — the documentation guards run without a GPU (python3 tools/check_readme_links.py --strict, python3 tools/check_source_path_refs.py --strict), and a broken link or a stale example is a real, mergeable contribution.

If this is your first pull request anywhere: your first workflow run may wait for a maintainer's approval before it starts. That is routine GitHub behaviour for a first-time contributor, not a problem with your change, and it will be approved.
