The Workshop of Hactoberfest 2020 was organized on the 20th of October 2020 using the Zoom Platform due to the Covid-19 pandemic situation.
What is Hactoberfest 2020?
Hacktoberfest is the month-long celebration of open source software created by DigitalOcean to honor and uplift the community that we owe a great deal to. From the very early days of DigitalOcean, they’ve strived to invest time and money into open source foundations, projects, and maintainers.
This is open to everyone in our global community. Whether you’re a developer, student learning to code, event host, or a company of any size, you can help drive the growth of open source and make positive contributions to an ever-growing community. All backgrounds and skill levels are encouraged to complete the challenge.
How to do this?
To earn Hacktoberfest tee or tree reward, He/She must register and make four valid pull requests (PRs) between October 1-31 (in any time zone). PRs can be made to participating in public repos on GitHub, those that have the Hacktoberfest topic. If a maintainer reports your pull request as spam or behavior, not in line with the project’s code of conduct, you will be ineligible to participate. This year, the first 70,000 participants who complete the challenge will be eligible to receive a prize.??

What is React-native?
React Native is a JavaScript framework for writing real, natively rendering mobile applications for iOS and Android. It’s based on React, Facebook’s JavaScript library for building user interfaces, but instead of targeting the browser, it targets mobile platforms. In other words: web developers can now write mobile applications that look and feel truly “native,” all from the comfort of a JavaScript library that we already know and love. Plus, because most of the code you write can be shared between platforms, React Native makes it easy to simultaneously develop for both Android and iOS.
The end of the session comes with a vote of thanks by Yasantha Fonseka, Marking and Publicity lead of Mozilla Campus Club-UWU.
