The Hacktoberfest Challenge 2018 is on and it is my fourth attempt. As always, I am very excited about the event.

September 2018 has been very special month so far for me. Why? In this very month, I submitted my 1000th Pull Request. Also as of today 1st Oct 2018, I have completed 407th days of daily upload to CPAN. My next target is reach 500 days mark, which I am hoping to reach by new year. I also submitted my talk proposal to London Perl Workshop 2018. The title of my proposed talk is "The power of mentoring". For a change, I have also submitted proposal for lightning talk "What after the Pull Request Challenge?". If you haven't submitted your talk proposal yet, then please do so now. I would like to
share one sweet moment with everyone. After submitting my 1000th PR, the first PR that got merged after that had the following message for me.

Lets go through the rituals now.

• Pull Request
• Git Commits
• Pull Request Challenge
• Perl Blog
• PerlWeekly Newsletter
• Adopt CPAN Module

Pull Request

Last month, I submitted 66 PR as compared to 51 PR in the month of August 2018.

Finally I reached the milestone of 1000 PR, well before my target i.e. the next London Perl Workshop in Nov 2018.

Git Commits

Last month, there were 509 commits as compared to 414 commits in the month of August 2018.
