Hacktoberfest Meetup Ajaccio x GoodBarber
Hacktoberfest 2026
95 cours Napoleon CampusPlex Ajaccio, Corsica 20000 France
Event Description
Hacktoberfest is back, and the 2026 edition focuses on open source AI. Instead of counting pull requests, this year is about building with open source tools and open-weight models — and about getting local communities together to do it.
GoodBarber is hosting the Ajaccio Fest: an after-work evening at CampusPlex, in the heart of the city. A talk on open source and open-weight AI — why it matters and concrete ways to get started, whether that means writing your first skills.md, running an open model locally, or building a small agent. Then questions, drinks and time to talk with the people around you.
No conference format, no pitch: just an excuse to get everyone in the same room on a weekday evening. Whether you already contribute to open source or have only been curious about where to start, come along.
The talk will be in French; slides and shared resources will be in English so you can keep going with the wider Hacktoberfest community afterwards.
Free to attend. Registration recommended.

GoodBarber is a software company based in Ajaccio, Corsica, building a no-code platform that lets people create mobile apps, progressive web apps and online stores without writing code. Our engineering team works daily with the open source ecosystem, and we host this Meet Up to bring the local developer community together around open source and open-weight AI. As one of the few tech companies headquartered on the island, we see a real need for regular gatherings that connect developers who otherwise work in isolation.
