Greeting hackers! It's October - the month of "trick or treat"! It's also a month where programmers celebrate Open Source by participating in a month-long festival of code, Hacktoberfest. COPS is here with a workshop to introduce you all to Open Source, Github, and the Hacktoberfest, of course! If you wish to work on an open-source project or you merely fancy the words, this is just the right place for you to get started! Note: This workshop is also an introductory session towards the later sessions on Google Summer of Code and hence a must-attend one! Pre-requisites: A Github account! We hope to see you in great numbers and make the most out of it.
