Hacktoberfest Hack Day Mannheim x Q-Summit
Hacktoberfest 2026
Julius-Hatry-Straße 1 Mannheim-Lindenhof, Baden-Württemberg 68163 Germany
Event Description
Join Q-Hacktoberfest in Mannheim!
As part of Hacktoberfest, this event brings students, developers, and open-source enthusiasts together to learn, collaborate, build, and contribute to open source. This year's global theme is open-source artificial intelligence, giving you the chance to explore open-source AI tools, open-weight models, and GitHub-based development alongside like-minded builders.
Throughout the day, you'll learn open-source contribution workflows, build a practical project of your own, and get support from mentors whenever you need it. We'll wrap up with project showcases, so you can see what everyone built and connect with fellow hackers.
Whether you're making your first pull request or you've been contributing for years, everyone is welcome.
We wish you all happy hacking!
