  • Submit a PR in the repo before asking to be assigned on another task. Don't forget to submit your task here in this form, so we can get your email address and pay you in the end.
  • Join our Slack to discuss and ask questions in #hackathons
Rules for the written tutorials
  • You can only work on one written tutorial at a time.

  • AI tools can be used to help define the outline, but shouldn’t be used in the content of it.
  • Must contain a hero image.
  • Must show how to use PyAirbyte.
  • If you don't commit anything within five days, the issue may be assigned to someone else.
Rules for the contributed features
  • You can only work on one feature at a time.
  • Make sure to resolve all suggestions from the Airbyte team.

You’re more than welcome to submit multiple tutorials and features! That's actually how you can win the hackathon, and you can win both prizes. However, please note that you cannot be assigned several tutorials and features at the same time.
