Porting a game to another platform is often trickier than one might think. Rewriting blocks of code, and having to take into account different hardware and its interfaces, can easily result in bugs and oversights. Combine that with having to remake parts of the game and you're treading potentially dangerous ground. Taking the artistry of another and trying to make it "better" is subjective and difficult. When Nicalis decided to remake the now-famous indie game, Cave Story, I have to wonder if they fully realized those risks. What has resulted is an unfortunate mixed bag of marred greatness, further tainted by bugs and odd design choices.
So what's wrong with this remake? First, I should start by saying that there's a lot that's right with it, but this is mostly the core game itself. The original game is nothing short of wonderful. Nicalis, however, commissioned several notable people from the indie game development community to help remake the game. This may sound like a wonderful idea, but it unfortunately resulted in there being "too many cooks in the kitchen".
Part of Cave Story's appeal is its retro audiovisual style. The music and sound were redone, but its hard to say they really needed it. The sound effects are too loud by default (though they can be turned down), and its debatable whether or not the sound and music are actually better. Not only that, but the music is buggy and poorly implemented. Certain parts of the new music (like drums) sometimes don't play at all, and the music loops incorrectly, replaying intros with each loop. Switching to the original music helps, but it seems the looping problem still remains. The highest quality part of the remake is the graphics, which have been redrawn with their resolution doubled. Most of the sprites, backgrounds, etc. do look nicer and more detailed, but in some cases they seem to have a awkwardly smoothed-out look. Again, it's questionable whether or not the game really needed that to be done. This new translation seems adequate, but fans grew to love the original translation, and this differs notably. Balrog's memorable "Huzzah!", has been changed to resemble the Kool-Aid Man's "Oh, yeaahh!" I can accept changes like this, but I do prefer the original. I've read reports of other bugs, but I can't confirm those.
Aside from the bugs, the change I like least is one of the original game's hidden modes, now called "Sanctuary Time Attack" mode, is selectable on the main menu without even needing to unlock it. This is alongside two added modes that are not found in the original. There's a "Boss Rush" mode (which is well done, but is playable from the start despite being full of spoilers) and a mode allowing you to play a slightly different version of the story mode with the character, Curly Brace. These are nice additions, but don't add much to the experience. (Why not include some of Pixel's other games?) The controls are also an issue. I was using a Wii remote sideways (NES controller style). The A button is used to toggle through weapons one direction, while the B button (the trigger) toggles the other direction. This meant that by holding the remote I'd often accidentally hit B, changing to a weapon I didn't currently want to use. This would be excusable if the controls were reconfigurable, but they aren't. It's worth mentioning that the game also supports the classic controller.
Supposedly the European release will have some issues fixed, but I've yet to read if the US version will be patched. If you feel I'm being too nit-picky, ask yourself, "Do I really want to pay 1200 points, for a game that I can get for free?" and if so, "Do the pros really outweigh the cons?" I feel the answer to these questions is no. I think it's clear that I'm not opposed to remakes. Unless, you have no system other than the Wii to play Cave Story on, I'd recommend you steer clear and play the original or a more direct port. I commend Nicalis for taking this risk, but I can't endorse the result. I do, however, fully recommend the original version.
There's the long awaited review!
Good review. I though 1200 points was a bit much for a wiimake.
Way to go Adam! Great review, you are the gamer's gamer!
Does it add anything to the gameplay? new monmsters or anything?
It take me twice as long to read a Karnov review, because he goes hyperlink crazy.
One thing- why are there no hyperlinks for the podcast???
Looks like the little guy from Klonoa.
Thanks for the link. I see there a DS version floating around. Hmmm.
Downloaded the demo and installed the English pack but I still don't know what to do.
I know left and right key control movement and X jumps, but what gets get of the star blocks on the next screen.
Oh, and don't try to jump on the monster heads. This is not Mario.
Maybe you can get the creator to come on the podcast. Thats would be awesome!
Thanks for the info, TideGear. I was looking forward to your review.
I hope we get a patched versions, but does Nintendo patch Wiiware?
The dog looks just like my dog, give or take a few pixels.
Deagle, good review, but different from your usual style.
What other bugs are rumored?
Thats because Karnov wrote it.
$10 seems a bit high. $8 would have been good for this.
I've been waiting for this one for a very long time.
All they had to do was up-res the graphics and translate into English. How could this possibly go wrong?
Thanks for the info. liked the PC version.
He was made of Kool-Aid. If he drank himself it would be like cannibalism.
The PC game was pretty cool. Too bad you cant download the full version in English.
Never heard of it. I must have been living in a cave myself.
Just bought. Haven't seen any bugs yet.
What do you mean? The PC version is free to download and so is the translation patch.
Haha, it's a good way to cite sources and give additional info!
As for the podcast, that's something we should do.
Demo? It should be the full game.
…Go left and down the slope. Avoid the enemies and spikes. Grab the HP max powerup. Continue down and to the right. Don't jump from the water, jump over it. You'll eventually see a door. Go in and open the chest. Now you've got a gun! It'll clear those star blocks out too!
I'm not sure that was ever finished.
They do, but it's rare. Gradius Rebirth and BIT.TRIP BEAT got patches. Not sure what else.
Your dog is adorable then! That's actually a mimiga. It's a rabbit-like creature. Is your dog actually a mimiga?
No, but he looks like that with his big floppy ears.
I think he means all in one easy shot.
too bad, that would have been awesome.
I checked the pet store, they were out of mimigas. They did have plenty of hamsters, though.
Wow, I forgot all about this. Is this the first patched Wiiware title?

Review - Ghosts
Posted on Sunday, October 5th, 2014 at 7:54 am. Written by Steve
Ai Qin Lin in Ghosts
The British film-maker Nick Broomfield is well known for his documentaries made in the teeth of adversity, his working practice often being to get into someone's face and then stay there while they duck and dive (see The Leader, His Driver and the Driver's Wife, the 1991 doc on South African white supremacist Eugene Terre'Blanche). Either that, or he "dead chairs" – as news people called it when an interviewee doesn't or won't turn up – his subject and makes a documentary about the documentary he's trying to make (see Tracking Down Maggie: The Unofficial Biography of Margaret Thatcher). In fact he's made something of a specialty out of these two practices, to the point where his basic skills as a documentarian are often overlooked (see his two films on Aileen Wuornos – The Selling of a Serial Killer and Life and Death of a Serial Killer).
All of this might seem like a long and unnecessary preamble to Broomfield's debut as a fictional film-maker. But his documentary skills and stylistics are to the fore in his exposé of the hidden story behind the Morecambe Bay cockle-pickers disaster of 2004 – the day when 23 migrant workers drowned on a beach while gathering shellfish, because they were unaware how fast the tide came in. Most of the victims were Chinese, and Broomfield makes Ghosts the story of one of them, Ai Qin, whom he follows from Fujian province in China. She's a pretty girl who wants to find a better life in the west, to send back money for her son and parents, though her parents don't want her to go – "We don't want you to go," they say in the extremely functional dialogue that marks out the film. Well, at least it makes the story easy to follow, as Ai first signs up to the onerous debt agreement, then spends six whole months being transported across borders until she winds up in Thetford, a market town in Norfolk, England, where she works for a series of bullies in white vans, who take her and her fellow illegal aliens to one agricultural "picking" job or another. This central, Thetford section of the film is tough going, because Broomfield isn't sure how to hold our interest while depicting the drudgery of daily life, the meanness of the aliens' existence, the lack of light and shade in the lives of these Chinese slaves. Though we do learn that "ghosts" is what they call white people, because of the skin colour. The irony being that these poor doomed souls are in fact now the ghosts, entirely invisible.
It might be a bit of a trudge, but Broomfield makes telling points as he goes – how the cheap food we enjoy relies on underpaid illegals such as Ai Qin. Who eventually finds herself in February 2004 out on the cockle beds on the vast shallow beaches of North West England, a long way out from the shore and unfamiliar with the fast-moving tides.
Broomfield shoots in the real locations, uses former illegal aliens (including Ai Qin Lin, who plays Ai Qin) for all the key roles and has found a gaggle of British extras who really add to the authentic feeling of a film which he seems to let build at its own pace – this, surely a skill learnt from putting together a coherent, exciting documentary without a shooting script to follow. And his grim intertitles at the end of his sombre film tell us that the families of the dead cockle pickers are still paying back the $25,000 fee to the gangs who arranged for the journey of their now-dead children to the UK.

You are here: Home / Art History / 21st Century Art / Art Basel 43: Excellence in Art Led to Excellence in Sales
June 17, 2012 by e Art fair .com Leave a Comment
It has not been like this for years, but we seem to curb the lul in sales performance in the world league art markets in the EU and US. Thank goodness.
Art Basel management just reported that the 43rd edition of Art Basel in Switzerland closed last night (June 17, 2012) with excellent results.
"The annual reunion of the international art world again attracted 65,000 artists, collectors, curators, and art lovers from around the globe. Collectors from all over the world confirmed that excellent material and booth presentations spurred great demand, creating strong sales throughout the week and across all levels of the market."
A great many artists attended the event, including Marina Abramovi?, Phyllida Barlow, Nina Beier, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Tracy Emin, Theaster Gates, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Douglas Gordon, Jitish Kallat, Jannis Kounellis, Heinz Mack, Mike Nelson, Damian Ortega, Richard Phillips, Otto Piene, Gavin Turk, Richard Wentworth, Adrian Wong and Gilberto Zorio.
Over 70 museum and institution groups, representing almost all the world's major museums visited Art 43 Basel, as did major private collectors from North and South America, all of Europe and the emerging markets of the artworld. An increase in collectors from Asia, especially Hong Kong and China, was noticeable.
At Art 43 Basel, whose main sponsor is UBS, more than 300 galleries from 36 countries on six continents exhibited works by over 2,500 artists. Many stands featured thematic exhibitions and one-person shows, presenting the highest quality of historical material and contemporary works. Sculptures featured heavily in the Art Galleries sector, and were shown alongside paintings, works on paper, and photography, all mediums which continued to be strongly represented.
The introduction of a second preview day and the shift of the Vernissage from Tuesday to Wednesday was welcomed by the majority of exhibitors, who reported excellent results, more in-depth conversations and valuable new contacts for the future of their program. Many gallerists offered positive reports on Art 43 Basel, including:
Iwan Wirth, Hauser & Wirth, Zurich, London, New York
'It was another record year for the gallery and this great success, made for a truly incomparable experience. We sold works from over 20 of our artists – masterpieces by Louise Bourgeois, Philip Guston and Paul McCarthy all sold on the first day. We also sold both Phyllida Barlow and David Claerbout's Art Unlimited projects, while our third Art Unlimited project, Richard Jackson's 'Big Pig', is on hold. There's no fair quite like Art Basel.'
Marc Glimcher, Pace Gallery, New York
'The fair took another step up this year. The level of art and the level of conversation were at an all-time high. As a dealer, the caliber of art that one feels comfortable bringing is rapidly ascending beyond anything we ever thought an art fair could handle.'
Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers, Sprüth Magers Berlin London
'Once again, the fair has been a great success for us and we have been impressed by the caliber of collectors visiting from all around the world. We have sold works by a diverse range of our gallery artists including Alighiero Boetti, George Condo, Thomas Demand, Cyprien Gaillard, Andreas Gurksy, Jenny Holzer, Sterling Ruby, Ed Ruscha, Andreas Schulze, Cindy Sherman and Rosemarie Trockel.'
Andrzej Przywara, Foksal Gallery Foundation, Warsaw
'It was a fantastic fair. During the first two days, people were incredibly focused; they studied the work we had on display and bought.'
Lucy Mitchell-Innes, Mitchell-Innes & Nash, New York
'Art Basel was a great success. This year allowed for extended time with experienced buyers which resulted in meaningful sales. The works shown were strong and the galleries were thoughtful in their artists.'
Gilbert Lloyd, Marlborough Fine Art, London
'Art Basel is without doubt the best. There is no other art fair in the world that could create an appropriate environment for a work of the caliber of Mark Rothko's 'Untitled' painting from 1954.'
Gordon VeneKlasen, Michael Werner, New York
'With fairs proliferating worldwide, Art Basel for us remains the most important forum for our modern masterworks as well as our emerging artists. We were happy to have had substantial sales across the board this year, and not just focused on our most sought-after and established artists. Every effort to bring major works to the fair is rewarded by the quality of the audience of curators and collectors that the fair brings.'
Shireen Gandhy, Chemould Prescott Road, Mumbai
'Our booth seemed to be extremely popular with several groups getting acquainted with our program. It was the meeting of both new and old collectors; sales have never been better than at this edition of Art Basel. The response to our presentation of Jitish Kallat at Art Unlimited was overwhelming as were sales.'
Nick Acquavella, Acquavella Galleries, New York
'We placed some really great work in fantastic collections and are very happy. Art Basel remains the world's best fair.'
Eivind Furnesvik, Standard (OSLO), Oslo
'Art Basel's unique position keeps on encouraging us to make booth displays that minimize the gap between exhibitions and fair presentation. We can focus on our primary practice – the fair and a rare quality audience make sure that you're rewarded.'
Thaddaeus Ropac, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Paris
'It has been the best show for us for a while. The Asian countries have shown a strong interest, and sales to Europeans and Americans have been on the same level as last year.'
Stephen Friedman, Stephen Friedman Gallery, London
'Art Basel 2012 has proved a great success. A substantial number of sales have been made to collectors and institutions in both Europe and the United States. Most notably, the striking 'Untitled (peeing figure)' by Tom Friedman was bought by a French foundation. Yinka Shonibare, MBE's 'Revolution Kid (Fox)' has now been placed in a Dutch museum.'
Pi Li, Boers-Li Gallery, Beijing
'We have seen the engagement in Art Basel by collectors and galleries from Asia change dramatically in the last four years that we have participated in the fair. A good many Chinese and European collectors visited our retrospective presentation of work by Zhang Peili in Art Feature this year. There was a lot of interest from new European collectors. We have had a great experience.'
Thomas Dane, Thomas Dane Gallery, London
'We had a great first year at Art Basel. We had strong sales of works by Hurvin Anderson, Walead Beshty, Jean Luc Moulene and Glenn Ligon to old and new clients.'
Nils Staerk, Nils Staerk, Copenhagen
'It has been our best fair here in Basel. The two preview days were excellent for us and kept us busy. We sold to lots of Turkish collectors which was new.'
Darren Flook, Hotel, London
'Art Basel has been incredible because the quality of the audience is incredible. We are showing work that needs an educated and engaged viewer, and these have been present at the fair every day. We sold all editions of Duncan Campbell's film 'Arbeit', so we are very happy indeed.'
Tim Blum, Blum & Poe, Los Angeles
'We had a very successful fair this year. Everyone is clear about why they are here when they come to Basel. It's all about the best of what you do from dealers to artists at Art Basel.'
Jaime Riestra, Galería OMR, Mexico City
'We had a very good experience and have been very busy during the first two days. The attendance was great and it was a very successful fair.'
Gió Maconi, Gió Marconi Gallery, Milan
'This edition was our best fair ever. We established many new contacts, especially with collectors from Mainland China and Taiwan.'

For the British, their target of attaining right subordination of the US to England was once annoyed forever.
Seventeen seventy-six was once a sad 12 months: american citizens scuffling with within the identify of liberty persecuted and infrequently killed fellow american citizens who selected to stay dependable to the outdated order. Seventeen seventy-six used to be a 12 months of heroes: It introduced forth the leaders who had the braveness to struggle for freedom. Seventeen seventy-six was once a disgraceful 12 months: american citizens published a capability for cowardice, disorganization, and incompetence.
Here, during this masterful publication, is the genuine tale of 1776.

Q: Why does localhost not resolve to 127.0.0.1 on a given port? I have an httpd server running on port 80 and shiny-server running on port 3838.  When I try curl 127.0.0.1:3838 I get the index file being served on the shiny-server.  But when I try curl localhost:3838 curl times out without retrieving any content.  Why?
Here are the contents of my /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
<my-ipv4-address> www.<mywebsite>.com <mywebsite>.com
<my-ipv6-address> www.<mywebsite>.com <mywebsite>.com

and the results of getent ahosts localhost
::1             STREAM localhost
::1             DGRAM
::1             RAW
127.0.0.1       STREAM
127.0.0.1       DGRAM
127.0.0.1       RAW

A: As you can see from getent ahosts localhost, the IPv6 entries for localhost take priority over the IPv4 entries. (See man getent and man nss if you want to know why this command helps).
Curl is dual stack and can resolve both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses, so it uses the IPv6 address. But shiny server doesn't work with IPv6, so it times out, as verified when using the IPv6 address directly. OTOH, if you use 127.0.0.1, this is an IPv4 address, so it succeeds.

A: You need to check how your shyni server is listening exactly (ipv4 or pv6 or both)
with :
netstat -pantu |grep LIST

It must be problem related to a restriction with the use of "localhost" maybe...

A: To fix it add to /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost shiny myWebsiteName

(well append it to the existing line).

Even better.
Configure you webserver to listen on 127.0.0.2, then add to /etc/hosts
127.0.0.2 shiny myWebsiteName

(tested on Debian 8 and 9)

Cosmo Perseus Ring
Chelsea and Liverpool are just two clubs to have been linked with the 21-year-old, who has bagged eight objectives and ten assists considering the fact that a move from Dinamo Batuni. Napoli fans have currently dubbed Kvaratskhelia as 'Kvaradona', in a likening to their club legend Diego Maradona. That is when my buddy told me to usually retain a bread clip when traveling. We provide commentary primarily based on historical data and analyst forecasts only employing an unbiased methodology and our articles are not intended to be economic assistance. It does not constitute a recommendation to invest in or sell any stock, and does not take account of your objectives, or your financial circumstance.
The fact that Danae had given birth to Perseus could not go unnoticed by Acrisius, but the king also recognised that only a god could have gotten Danae pregnant. Acrisius now had a issue, the king was still worried about his personal death, but he was also worried of what may befall him if he killed a son of an Olympian god. Just after 15 years working in digital marketing and advertising, I now split my time involving my digital promoting consultancy, alongside studying for an MA in Art History.
A Gorgon is one of 3 sisters that had snakes for hair and the power to turn any individual into stone. Cassiopeia had bragged about Andromeda's beauty, saying that she was a lot more attractive than the Nereids. The Nereids had been sea nymphs, or female spirits of the sea.
Perseus is later sent on an errand to bring Medusa's head to King Polydectes. Equipped with a mirrored shield, winged sandals, and a unique sack for her head, Perseus creeps up on Medusa while she lies sleeping, cuts off her head, and then makes use of it as a weapon for turning enemies into stone. Perseus in Greek mythology, the son of Zeus and Danae, a hero celebrated for numerous more bonuses achievements. Immediately after having rid of Medusa, Perseus stopped in the mythical kingdom of Aethiopia, ruled by a queen named Cassiopeia.
Acrisius, who did not believe Zeus was the father of Perseus, placed mother and son in a chest and place them out to sea. The sons of Perseus were, Perses, the ancestor of all Persian kings Electryon, Perseus' heir, and also grandfather of Heracles Alcaeus Heleus Mestor Sthenelus and Cynurus. The daughters had been Autochthe, future wife of Aegeus, and , future queen of Sparta.
We could now describe what was necessary in a Perseus style digital library for a non-European culture, comprehensive with the common Perseus links involving inflected forms, morphological analyses and lexica. Even in languages such as Chinese, with tiny or no morphology, the hyperlinks between words in a text and a lexicon would dramatically affect what readers could and could not do. 2) We would like to see the improvement of a Perseus-style digital library for a culture separate from the Greco-Roman European cultural tradition.
We have wonderful views of the planets and the infinite majesty of space. But oh yes, I do miss the warmth of human blood in my veins, and the embrace of my hero, Perseus. They survived and continued their lives on the island of Serifos. This king fell in enjoy with Danaë and Perseus wasn't also delighted about that. Polydectes plotted a plan to get rid of Perseus he demanded him to slay Medusa, the monster who turned people today into stone just by seeking at them.
But just before his arrival Acrisius bad gone away to Larissa in Thessaly, and here Perseus unwittingly killed him with a discus at the funeral games held in honour of the king of that country.

U.N. experts urge probe into alleged Saudi hacking of Bezos phone
3 years ago rappler 0 Comments

GENEVA, Switzerland – Independent UN rights experts said Wednesday, January 22, they had received information that Amazon owner Jeff Bezos's phone was hacked through a WhatsApp account belonging to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.
Riyadh has rejected the allegations, its embassy in Washington branding them "absurd".
"The alleged hacking of Mr Bezos's phone, and those of others, demands immediate investigation by US and other relevant authorities," UN Special Rapporteurs Agnes Callamard and David Kaye said in a statement in Geneva.
Any investigation into the alleged incident in May 2018 should also look at the "continuous, multi-year, direct and personal involvement of the Crown Prince in efforts to target perceived opponents", they added.
Callamard, the UN expert on summary executions and extrajudicial killings, and Kaye, the expert on freedom of expression, said they were "gravely concerned".
"The information we have received suggests the possible involvement of the Crown Prince in surveillance of Mr Bezos, in an effort to influence, if not silence, The Washington Post's reporting on Saudi Arabia," they wrote.
Bezos owns The Washington Post, which employed as a contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist murdered in October 2018 at Riyadh's consulate in Istanbul.
"Recent media reports that suggest the Kingdom is behind a hacking of Mr Jeff Bezos' phone are absurd," the Saudi Arabian embassy said on its Twitter account.
"We call for an investigation on these claims so that we can have all the facts out."
The UN Special Rapporteurs said the circumstances and timing of the hacking also gave grounds for further investigation into "allegations that the Crown Prince ordered, incited, or, at a minimum, was aware of planning for" the operation to kill Khashoggi.
Callamard last year led an independent probe that found "credible evidence" linking the crown prince to Khashoggi's killing — a charge the kingdom vehemently denies.
'Unprecedented exfiltration' of data
The two experts said they had become aware of a 2019 examination of Bezos's iPhone that found it may have been hacked on May 1, 2018 with an MP4 video file sent from an account used by the Saudi Crown Prince.
The two had exchanged numbers a month before, they said.
The analysis reportedly found that within hours of receiving the video file, there was an "unprecedented exfiltration" of 126 MB of data from Bezos's phone.
This continued undetected over a period of "some months" with rates of as much as 4.6 GB higher than the baseline.
The forensic analysis cited by the UN experts showed that the Crown Prince, Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, sent WhatsApp messages to Bezos in November 2018 and February 2019 in which he revealed information about Bezos's personal life not available from public sources.
The analysis also suggested that the hackers may have used a type of spyware used in other Saudi surveillance cases, such as the NSO Group's Pegasus-3 malware.
$38 billion divorce
Bezos's personal life was thrust into the spotlight with the announcement in January 2019 that he and his wife were divorcing after 25 years of marriage, and the revelation by the National Enquirer that he had been having an affair with a former news anchor, Lauren Sanchez.
Bezos, the world's richest man, and his wife MacKenzie finalised their divorce in July 2019 to the tune of a $38-billion (34-billion-euro) settlement, according to Bloomberg News.
Following the scandal, Bezos hired Gavin de Becker & Associates, a security firm, to find out how his intimate text messages and photos made their way into the hands of the National Enquirer.
In March last year de Becker said he had concluded that Saudi Arabian authorities hacked the Amazon chief's phone to access his personal data.
But de Becker did not specify which part of the Saudi government he was blaming for the hack, and gave few details about how he had concluded that the kingdom was responsible. – Rappler.com

October has been a busy month, so we are late sharing this information, but with over a week left in October, you have plenty of time to earn your free t-shirt. HacktoberFest is celebrating it's 5th year this year, and will be giving away 50,000 t-shirts this year, to those contributing 5 pull requests to open source projects on github.
HacktoberFest is presented by DigitalOcean, Github and Twilio. Three great companies/tools that Ortus Solutions uses in our own projects and in our client projects. Ortus Solutions is built upon Opensource with our flagship products all opensource, this event holds a special place in our hearts.
Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open source software run by DigitalOcean in partnership with GitHub and Twilio.
Hacktoberfest is open to everyone in our global community!
Five quality pull requests must be submitted to public GitHub repositories.
You can sign up anytime between October 1 and October 31.
To get a shirt, you must make five pull requests (PRs) between October 1–31 in any timezone. PRs can be to any public repo on GitHub, not just the ones highlighted. The PR must contain commits you made yourself (not to your own repo). PRs reported by maintainers as spam or that are automated will be marked as invalid and won't count towards the shirt. This year, the first 50,000 of you can earn a T-shirt (compared with 30,000 in 2017).
Remember, if you are a core contributor, and you don't make pulls, but just push straight to the repo, it will not show. When we look at Brad 'the machine' Wood, we see only a few pull requests even though he has done a lot of work on CommandBox. He got this Hacktober shirt last year, will he get one this year?
You can learn github by contributing to many repos setup just for hacktoberfest beginners. Remember, documentation is still contributing. Maybe contribute some example code to https://cfdocs.org/ and become one of the 100+ awesome contributors listed on the homepage of CFDocs. Or fix that latino spelling or grammar we have in our ColdBox docs https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/. One of my pull requests was a single missing / in some documentation for quasar, but it all helps.
Some companies tag their projects or issues with hacktoberfest. Want to get more than one shirt? Some like SendGrid and Auth0 even are giving your additional shirts from their organization if you meet their criteria.
If you are new to github, or a veteran, contribute to open source this month, and earn a shirt, and hopefully you'll like the feeling, and keep contributing to opensource.
Happy Hacktoberfest, pull a little, give a little, and get a lot.
Where to find Open Source projects to work on?
