DagsHub x Hacktoberfest

Open Source Machine Learning Oct 05, 2021

Hacktoberfest is just on time, and the DagsHub community is ready to shine!

In its 8th year, Hacktoberfest is a month-long virtual festival of open source! Participants are giving back to the community by completing pull requests, participating in events, and donating to open-source projects. We're happy to announce our participation in Hacktoberfest 2021, and we are looking for contributors who want to join us.

Quick Start to Contribution

How to participate?

You can sign up for Hacktoberfest between October 1st and October 31st using your GitHub or GitLab account. To make valid contributions, you need to submit pull requests for repositories that have a `hacktoberfest` label. Once the project's maintainer accepts the pull request, it will count into your participation in Hacktoberfest.

What does the DagsHub community contribute?

This year we'd like to focus our contribution on the audio domain. For that, we added audio data catalog capabilities to DagsHub! You can now upload audio files to DagsHub and see its spectrogram, wave, and even listen to it! You can see a vivid example of this (extremely cool) feature in our Librispeech-ASR-corpus project.

Audio Catalog (DagsHub)

To help audio practitioners leverage this new feature, we want to enrich open-source audio datasets on DagsHub. This is where you can contribute to the data science community!

How to contribute?

  • Claim the dataset you wish to contribute from the list (KUDOS to jim-schwoebel) by opening a new issue on the GitHub repository and name it after the dataset. Please make sure that the dataset wasn't claimed.
  • Open a new DagsHub repository and upload the data to its DVC storage (e.g., dataset repository).
  • Write information about the dataset in the README file (e.g., Librispeech ASR corpus README).
  • Add relevant tags to the repository and files.
  • Add the dataset, audio, hacktoberfest labels to the DagsHub repository.
  • Open a new branch on the GitHub audio-datasets project named after the dataset.
  • Add a directory named after the dataset with the README file.
  • Commit and push the changes to the GitHub audio-datasets project.
  • Create a pull request on GitHub.
  • Optional: Share the project on DagsHub Hacktoberfest 2021 Discord channel.

You don't need to be a registered Hacktoberfest user to contribute to this project. However, we highly recommend doing it to get a chance to win the challenge and get to know other cool open-source projects.

I signed up for Hacktoberfest in mid-October. Will pull requests that I created earlier in October count?

Yes, all pull requests created between October 1st and October 31st will count, regardless of when you register for Hacktoberfest. Pull requests created before October 1st but merged or marked as ready for review after do not count. Pull requests that are still in review after October 31st and meet the criteria will count towards your completion goal.
