While searching for a project, I realised that it is not easy to find one when you are a first time participant in the open source experience. So I looked into how to do this and came across Hacktoberfest. This is an annual event organized by GitHub and DigitalOcean to promote open-source contributions. It runs throughout the month of October and participants are encouraged to submit pull requests to open-source projects on GitHub.
## Finding the script
To participate in the event we were asked to find a script that would simplify the user experience. I then proposed to create an alert that would warn the user when he has to load his PC and unplug it when the PC reaches 100%. The proposal was rejected because the idea had been proposed before. Then I started listing all the previous creations and realized that there was no solution to test the connection. I suggested the idea of a speedtest script and the idea was then delivered to me. I then created the script and passed the required tests to be published in the git.
## Conclusion
I was able to discuss and join an open source community and now I'm really interested in working on other open source projects.
