Central repository for FasterXML activities related to Hacktoberfest 2020 by DigitalOcean (https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/).
All FasterXML projects are participating in Hacktoberfest 2020, so contributions are eligible for the main prizes.
In addition to the main event, Indeed.com is sponsoring additional activities -- see Indeed Hacktoberfest 2020 for details -- that can net you additional swag: Jackson is one of OSS projects eligible and supported (being heavily used by Indeed, see Jackson overview at Indeed Engineering Blog).
