OpenCode'18

Opencode is an open source event aimed to raise awareness about open source. It is a month long event where participants contribute to different projects and earn points simultaneously. A minified version of GSOC, OpenCode is organised by the FOSS wing of IIIT-Allahabad's technical society, Geekhaven.

How this works?

• Participants are required to solve the issues and earn points.
• At the end of competition, winner will be declared from top 5 by judging the quality of issues solved by them.So the participant with the most points need not be the winner.
• Projects registered for the event can be solved to earn points. All of them can be found at OpenCode Organisation with label opencode.
