🏛️ Our community centers around three principles:
Belonging, Safety, and Trust. Please report harassment over meetup to an organizer or contact email in our Code of Conduct.
🧑💻 Software Developers, you may find value at our meetup doing one or none of the following: look for a better job, meet developers and make friends, validate the feasibility of an ambitious side project, get help with my coding blocker or homework, gain insight and awareness into a company you're interviewing for, learn about other professions involving code, join a vibrant online discord community, and/or hangout to sip coffee in a perfect space with friendly people.
📈 Tech companies, we're currently available for sponsorships and partnerships! You may find us helpful in business areas such as developer relations, brand visibility, product feedback, user interviews, recruiting, lead generation, and community engagement. We will be holding Code&Coffee con very soon; message the lead organizer for details!

❓FAQs
I’m new to coding / open source. Can I still join?
Absolutely! Hacktoberfest is beginner-friendly and designed for everyone. You don’t need years of coding experience. Curiosity and willingness to learn are all you need. We’ll have mentors, volunteers, and peers who can help you get started.
Do I need to come with a team or a project idea?
Nope! You can join solo, and we’ll help match you with others who want to collaborate. We’ll also share project ideas and challenges to spark inspiration if you’re not sure what to build.
Is this event only for experienced developers?
Definitely not. We’ll have people at all skill levels, from those just learning HTML/CSS or Python to senior engineers. The event is about collaboration, creativity, and celebrating open source together.
What if I can’t stay the whole time?
That’s okay. While we encourage you to join for the full day (so you can submit a project and enjoy the wrap-up), you’re welcome to participate at your own pace.
Is there a cost to attend?
Nope! Thanks to our sponsor DigitalOcean, this event is completely free to attend. Plus, you’ll get access to swag, prizes, and food during the day.
What should I bring?
Bring your laptop, charger, and curiosity. That’s it! We’ll provide the space, WiFi, snacks, and community vibes.
Do I need to RSVP here or on DigitalOcean’s page?
Please RSVP through this Denver Coding Coffee page to secure your spot. During the event, you’ll also fill out the Hackathon submission form to make your project eligible for prizes.c
