Code for Dayton is hosting a Hacktoberfest. Hacktoberfest is focused on high-value, meaningful learning: giving everyone the tools and knowledge to experiment and build with open artificial intelligence.Joining our Hacktoberfest online. You can expect to learn about open-weight models, open source agents, and more. We believe open innovation must be prioritized alongside proprietary tools for an ecosystem to remain healthy and resilient. Instead of counting PRs, you’ll write your first skills.md, build your own open-source agent, fine-tune an open-weight model, or go wherever your curiosity takes you.
Hacktoberfest 2026 is about meeting you wherever you are in your open source AI journey because we believe AI belongs to everyone.
Code For Dayton is a monthly user group meeting at the downtown Dayton Innovation Hub. The meetings follow the "hack night" format - a little discussion and show and tell up front, followed by an opportunity to break into groups to work on civic or community oriented projects.
Today, we are heading back to the Preservation Dayton dataset! Janet was able to contact the researcher who did the original 1996 & 2012 study. We're going to hack on some python to see if we can properly update the report with this new piece of info.
Check out CodeForDayton.org to find out more about us and what we are working on.
