October is right around the corner and you know what that means! It’s Hacktoberfest! ServiceNow Developers participation It’s the 10th anniversary of DigitalOcean’s Hacktoberfest, and the 7th year we ServiceNow Developers are participating in this event by contributing to ServiceNow open-sourced projects and repositories. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacktoberfest-2022-review/ Tue, 01 Nov 2022 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacktoberfest-2022-review/ October is once again behind us and our most successful ServiceNow Hacktoberfest has concluded! Here are the final numbers for 2022: 520 Pull requests. A 15% increase over last year, but a HUGE increase of pull requests in projects that required higher-effort participation. 64% of Pull Requests this year were in higher-effort projects, compared to 14% last year. 396 Forks. A 36% increase over last year. 201 Unique Participants. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/backup-your-pdi/ Fri, 21 Oct 2022 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/backup-your-pdi/ One of the ongoing issues that we deal with in the Developer Program is the continuity of the free Personal Developer Instances (PDI). No matter how well intentioned you are, it is always possible to have a time period where you are out of the office and miss the email about your Developer Instance expiring. I don’t like the idea of anyone losing their work but there is only so much we can do to prevent it. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacktoberfest-2022-update/ Tue, 18 Oct 2022 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacktoberfest-2022-update/ We are past the half-way point of Hacktoberfest and wanted to highlight the amazing progress so far!

Every year we encourage ServiceNow Developers to participate in DigitalOcean’s Hacktoberfest event by contributing to a ServiceNow project or repository. Why participate? The more the community is equipped, the more that community can contribute. The more you get used to source-controlled projects, the more you can contribute to any number of open-source projects. You get a free t-shirt (the t-shirt also comes with bragging rights)! https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/cicd-pipeline-github-actions/ Wed, 09 Dec 2020 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/cicd-pipeline-github-actions/ The Orlando and Paris releases have brought many new capabilities to the Now Platform allowing developers to implement their own Continuous Improvement and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines to accelerate Now Platform development. Those include selective commits, editing outside of Studio, MID server support for the Source Control integration, global app support for Source Control, and APIs and IntegrationHub Spoke subflows and actions that allow developers to automate testing and deployment. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacktoberfest-2020-lookback/ Wed, 04 Nov 2020 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacktoberfest-2020-lookback/ Hacktoberfest 2020 is all wrapped up and finished. What a fun event it was this year. Our awesome developer MVPs did a great job setting up and coordinating the Now Components GitHub org for the dozen of repositories that were collaborated on there. It resulted in my first podcast recording ever with the Author of Podcasting for Dummies Chuck Tomasi. Brad and I acted as maintainers on both the component and spoke orgs, which was a ton of fun. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacktoberfest-2020-participation/ Thu, 01 Oct 2020 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacktoberfest-2020-participation/ What is Hacktoberfest Hacktoberfest is an event run by stewards of open source to encourage contributing to projects that are also open source. Why participate in Hacktoberfest The more able you have your community, the more that community can contribute. When you have that, you can help any number of open source projects. There’s a free t-shirt. We’re all very well paid, but this shirt will convince most of you. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacktoberfest-2020/ Thu, 24 Sep 2020 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacktoberfest-2020/ For the past several years, we have piggy-backed on the Digital Ocean event of Hacktoberfest. It started in 2017 when Josh Nerius and Dave Slusher (Former Developer Advocates) put together a system to allow ServiceNow developers to accept GitHub pull requests. Last year, the focus was around creating Spokes for IntegrationHub. You can check out the summary blog post about that lovely event! My favorite part was traveling to Minneapolis and visiting with Developer MVP and Meetup Organizer Jace Benson for his chapters Hacktoberfest event! https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/spoketoberfest-begins/ Fri, 04 Oct 2019 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/spoketoberfest-begins/ For the past several years, we have piggy-backed on the Digital Ocean event of Hacktoberfest. It started in 2017 when Josh Nerius and I put together a system to allow ServiceNow developers to accept GitHub pull requests. This year, again we are attempting to parasitically attach ourselves to the event but with a twist. Because it is a ServiceNow goal to increase the number of IntegrationHub Spokes in the world, that is what we want to focus on this month. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacktoberfest-2018-and-servicenow-development/ Mon, 08 Oct 2018 10:00:00 -0400 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacktoberfest-2018-and-servicenow-development/ Last year we spotlighted a way that ServiceNow developers can be part of Digital Ocean’s Hacktoberfest challenge. About a dozen people participated and earned themselves a sweet t-shirt. I personally love mine! Points Thing The official project of the Developer Program for Hacktoberfest is Points Thing. This is a bot that lives on an instance and is responsible for managing the points assigned on the sn-devs Slack channel whenever you execute the @user++ syntax. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacktoberfest-continues-pull-changes-into-your-forked-project/ Tue, 24 Oct 2017 14:38:44 +0000 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/hacktoberfest-continues-pull-changes-into-your-forked-project/ After Your Pull Request is Accepted Last week we posted information on how you can use ServiceNow projects to participate in Hacktoberfest. This involves some work server-side for the maintainer to be able to emulate the merging of GitHub pull requests. Let’s say you participated, submitted a pull request and it was accepted and merged into the main repository. Now what? To reiterate slightly, you will have your own fork of the repository, and your ServiceNow instance is connected to your copy of the repository. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/new-for-hacktoberfest-contribute-pull-requests-for-servicenow-development/ Thu, 19 Oct 2017 19:32:11 +0000 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/new-for-hacktoberfest-contribute-pull-requests-for-servicenow-development/ Source control integration was added as a feature to ServiceNow in the Geneva release. That increased by a wide margin the quality of development tools available to the ServiceNow developer. One could save code, easily move from instance to instance, backup personal developer instances, etc. One of the details of the implementation is that under the hood it is committing update sets. This complicates standard collaboration tools. GitHub pull requests and normal patch files assume that they are working on the text of code so when that text is really an XML payload, that presents a big challenge for diffing and merging. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/building-an-application-part-1-setup-and-background/ Fri, 12 Aug 2016 16:55:00 +0000 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/building-an-application-part-1-setup-and-background/ I have been working on a skunkworks project with ctomasi, josh.nerius and a few other people for months now as a low level background task. One of the downsides in working in an evangelism role is that sometimes you do lots of things to communicate about developing without actually doing any development yourself. In order to change that, we carved out a problem space that all of us were interested in, had an opportunity to improve toolsets and would be something that we ourselves would want to use every day. https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/backup-your-developer-instance-to-git/ Fri, 22 Jul 2016 15:46:00 +0000 https://developer.servicenow.com/blog.do?p=/post/backup-your-developer-instance-to-git/ Update: An up to date version of this article has been published here One of the ongoing issues that we deal with in the Developer Program is the continuity of the free developer instances. No matter how well intentioned you are, it is always possible to have a time period where you are out of the office and miss the email about your Developer Instance expiring. I don’t like the idea of anyone losing their work but there is only so much we can do to prevent it.
