This year I participated in Hacktoberfest 2023. I worked on some documentation issues for Wilderness Labs. These are usually the last things people help out with, as most people don't like to do documentation, is that a fair thing to say?
Wilderness Labs is an Enterprise-Grade IoT, Full .NET, Real Embedded, Secure & Scalable solution. They produce the Meadow board which allows IoT via .NET. I've yet to get myself a board as I'm still hacking on ESP32s etc, see my other posts for more about what I'm doing with those. They've just released Meadow.Cloud, see their blog post MONITOR YOUR DEVICE AND APP HEALTH PAINLESSLY WITH MEADOW.CLOUD. for more info.

HACKTOBERFEST LORE
Hacktoberfest is DigitalOcean’s annual event that encourages people to contribute to open source throughout October. Much of modern tech infrastructure—including some of DigitalOcean’s own products—relies on open-source projects built and maintained by passionate people who often don’t have the staff or budgets to do much more than keep the project alive. Hacktoberfest is all about giving back to those projects, sharpening skills, and celebrating all things open source, especially the people that make open source so special.
For the past 10 years, thousands of people—coders and non-coders alike—have participated in Hacktoberfest to support the projects they use and love, learn and practice skills that will enhance their careers, and meet new people who love open source as much as they do.
