+# Hacktoberfest 2024
+
+## Event Details
+- **Date:** October 1-13, 2024
+- **Location:** Rocky Linux repositories on GitHub:
+- [rockylinux.org](https://github.com/rocky-linux/rockylinux.org)
+- [documentation](https://github.com/rocky-linux/documentation)
+- [wiki.rockylinux.org](https://github.com/rocky-linux/wiki.rockylinux.org)
+- **Type:** Online Event
+
+## Overview
+GitHub says this about [Hacktoberfest](https://hacktoberfest.com/): "Open-source projects, maintained by community-minded coders, make the modern internet function. Supporting that essential work, and the folks behind it, is what Hacktoberfest is all about." Participants are encouraged to submit at least four high-quality Pull Requests during the month of October, to any of the many hundreds of thousands of public repositories hosted on GitHub or GitLab.
+
+Rocky Linux is pleased to make several of our GitHub repositories available to participants. Approved repos have been given the label 'hacktoberfest'. To support Rocky Linux as part of your Hacktoberfeset experience, visit the repos linked above and start by looking at the open Issues for ones labeled for 'hacktoberfest'. Check out the contribution guide for each repo (they are all a little different), then choose an Issue, work through the steps to resolve it, open a PR, and stick with it until we get it merged!
+
+You are also invited to submit an original PR. Just make sure we know to label it for Hacktoberfest. When PRs are closed successfully, they should be given a final tag of "Hacktoberfest-approved".
+
+## Highlights
+Almost all of our highlighted requests are considered Good First Issues to resolve.
+- The rockylinux.org repo houses aspects related to website functionality and content. Request for a [photo gallery feature](https://github.com/rocky-linux/rockylinux.org/issues/88) to be added to a specific location on the website. More issues may be added during the month.
+- The documentation repo houses books, guides, tutorials, and labs of Linux-related processes framed for Rocky Linux. We have several [requested tutorials](https://github.com/rocky-linux/documentation/issues) including networking, hardware troubleshooting, and desktop applications. Participants are also invited to submit tutorials on whatever topic inspires them.
+- The community team, housed within the wiki.rockylinux.org repo, is currently building out its documentation and [requests help](https://github.com/rocky-linux/wiki.rockylinux.org/issues) in the area of event reports and social media posts.

+# NERDEARLA ‘24 10mo Aniversario
+
+
+## Event Details:
+
+
+
+* Date: September 26-28, 2024
+* Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina
+* Type: Bronze Sponsor, Speaker for Open Source track
+
+
+## Overview:
+
+Nerdearla, translated literally as, “Nerd it up!” is the largest science and technology event in Latin America. From its origins in Argentina, it has spread to Chile and Mexico, with further plans for expansion in the works. This particular event was the 10th anniversary edition, in the flagship location of Buenos Aires. About 10,000 attendees came in-person last year. This year we saw 10,000 or more each day. The event celebrates all things science and technology, and promotes educating and supporting people through opportunities for job interviews as well as being accessible for children and young people to have positive experiences and develop STEM type interests.
+
+The purpose of Rocky Linux presence in Buenos Aires was to recognize existing fans and users of RL in the Spanish-speaking world, to answer questions about RL as a distribution, and to build goodwill and develop the LATAM community connected to Rocky Linux. 
+
+
+## Highlights:
+
+
+
+* Krista gave a project tour of Rocky Linux on Thursday as part of the Open Source track. 
+* Alexia delivered a Lightning Talk about the local Women in Tech (MET - Mujeres en Technología) chapter, encouraged people to join the RL community via Mattermost, promoted the Español channel, and advertised that there would be future BA Rocky Linux pizza nights.
+* We gave away almost 1,000 stickers.
+* Rocky Linux showed support for a special event that is culturally relevant to an enormous audience that we have minimal previous connection with.
+
+
+## Outcome:
+
+The onsite Rocky team saw and engaged with the LATAM audience. Going forward, we expressed intention to visit South America at least once a year. When not possible, we may need to become more assertive about supporting and sending remote speakers to increase our global footprint.
+
+To improve our reach and connect with booth visitors, we have already begun to develop a streamlined single-link landing page that we can share a QR code link to at events, that explains what Rocky Linux is, casts the vision for purpose, addresses some FAQs, shows off our sponsors and supporters, and provides various paths into the project including Mattermost sign up, documentation starting point, YT link to a presentation of the project tour, and whatever else encapsulates the project.
+
+In addition to these empowering outcomes, this event brought the two community leads together in person, which inspired both leaders with ideas and excitement for future development within the community.
