October 2017 was the debut of our #SQUASHTOBERFEST event, focusing on prioritizing issues in Magento Commerce and Open Source 2.2 to be squashed by the community. We had high expectations for this event, and the community did not let us down. We had the largest number of pull requests in a month ever. As a token of our thanks, any contributor with two or more submitted pull requests over this event will receive a limited edition Magento t-shirt.
