Mergetober

About the hackathon

Mergetober: Open Source Month with Cognee | WeMakeDevs x Hacker's Unity Mergetober is a month-long open source contribution event hosted by WeMakeDevs in collaboration with Cognee. The goal is simple: get paid to contribute to real-world open source software that ships to developers and enterprises worldwide! Event Overview Instead of building a hackathon project that gets archived and forgotten, participants build production-ready integrations for Cognee—the open-source memory layer for AI agents. Every contribution merges directly into the real product codebase used by developers globally. Duration: October 1 to October 31 Format: 100% Online & Solo (Individual contributions) Cost: Free to participate What is Cognee? AI models start fresh with zero context on every call.

The Challenge: Build Integrations You can contribute in two ways: Path A (Pick an Existing Issue): Choose an open issue labeled INTEGRATIONS and hackathon on the Cognee GitHub repository (e.g., GitLab, Linear, Elasticsearch, Postman, AWS S3, ClickUp). Path B (Propose a New Integration): Propose a brand-new integration that Cognee doesn't support yet by opening a new GitHub issue …
