Hacktoberfest 

Hacktoberfest is here !!! I will be participating in it as a part of the open-source course. I think it's going to be an amazing opportunity for me and others to learn and contribute to all the available open-source projects. I am really excited to start this challenge and learn.

As per the requirement for my course, I have to select two or more personal goals and try to achieve it by participation in this global event. I am very excited about these goals, as it will help me to learn and understand new languages, interact and contribute with other open-source projects.

React and angular were one of my goals to learn when I get time, I think this will be a great time to understand and try to solve issues. The first issue I found was in Angular, I have worked with vue.js and always wanted to learn angular as well. issue#1, this is a simple start, adding a feature to add/remove projects from the UI. I think it will be a great start for me to start with angular, and hopefully, I will be able to solve this issue.

For my second goal, I wanted to work with a project which seemed interesting. As I was going through the projects, I came across Terrastories.Terrastories is a geostorytelling application built to enable local communities to locate and map their own oral storytelling traditions about places of significant meaning or value to them.(https://github.com/Terrastories/terrastories). I think helping them by solving at least a few issues would be great, as this app seems really great for storytelling about their culture and heritage.

To do all these goals, I will need to research a lot and understand every aspect of the code and help to fix the issue. One of the hardest parts would be to duplicate these bugs, so I will need to understand the bug very well so that I will be able to fix them.

In conclusion, i think Hacktoberfest is going to help a lot in understanding how to contribute to other project and hopefully be able to meet amazing teams to work with.
