October HWC Update: Why the Change and What You Need to Know?

In summary, Hwc, or Hacktoberfest, is held in October because it is a special time for the open-source community and coincides with other major tech events. This timing allows for focused and dedicated work on open-source projects, cross-collaboration, and increased participation. While Hwc could potentially be held in a different month, October has proven to be the most successful and beneficial time for the event.

Did I miss something? I'm on CC searching past CNs trying to see what I might have missed. We always do this in May so I was wondering why we're also doing it in October this year. And also they can only order on my PWS is that correct? Sorry, it may be the drugs I'm on but I'm so confused, so thanks for your patience :)

Edited to add: Okay, I'm reading the Sept CN and it states October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Wasn't May BCAM?
 
yes, online only.And because Oct is Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Was May as well and they have two months or was May called something different Deb?
 
May is just our special HWC month. Oct is the national Breast Cancer Awareness month.
 


Hi there! It sounds like you may have missed the announcement about our special October promotion for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year, we are doing a special campaign in October in addition to our usual May campaign. As for ordering, you are correct that customers can only order through your personal website. I hope this helps clear up any confusion. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for your support and dedication to this important cause!
