Hacktoberfest is a yearly initiative in the greater open source community where developers get together to contribute to many different aspects of open source.
Contributing
This year, we are adding the GitHub repository tag of Hacktoberfest to virtually all of our open-source repositories. As long as you make a valid pull request by the Hacktoberfest standards (see Hacktoberfest URL below), your PR will count towards your Hacktoberfest contributions.
What if I’m not a developer?
Hacktoberfest also has great resources for non-coding contributors, especially in the areas of:
Technical documentation
Testing
Writing examples or tutorials
Translating
…and more!

Good question! Ambassadors still get their usual points for pull requests.
Hacktoberfest is a global open source community, and many who take part in hacktoberfest want their contributions elsewhere to count towards their participation in Hacktoberfest.
So if you’re participating there, you’ll get points for your contributions here
Actually, as Jordan mentioned, Ambassadors already get points for their contributions in GitHub, but by doing so during October after you register for the Hacktoberfest event you’ll get a “digital reward kit” that will help to show off your contributions to the world.
I would like to join and build a specific IIQ report. However I can not find a git repo where to push this report.
Also for the CoLab: It might be a good idea to have a git repo where we can share code or plugins. ATM we share code snippets in multiple threads and we a bit extra work these snippets can be extended to something which can be shared to a broader public.
And yes we can use share it via Share&Tell or a blog post, but code is best shared in repos.
For your IIQ report you will just built it in your own hit repo. When you’re ready, you’ll follow the steps to request to become a CoLab Publisher and then we will do the work to help you move the code over to the CoLab repo!
That is a GREAT idea in the shared code snippets for common code samples that are shared in posts too! While you get the IIQ report repo going, could you also send me an example of a code snippet in a post that you feel would be commonly used enough to put it in a repo?
We have a shared repo already for Rule, Transforms, and Workflows, FYI:
For the colab repos, there should be a distinction between IIQ and IDNow. For instance we can not import the workflow AccessRequestPreapproval.json in IIQ
So either different repos or different directories in the repos (I prefer the 1st option)
and also add a link to https://developer.sailpoint.com/colab/ on the github organization README.md
