For the month of November, Codefresh is bribing DevOps
professionals with a cool, limited-edition t-shirt to contribute to open source
for the first annual observance of "Fixvember." The event encourages developers
to make at least three contributions to open source projects, focused on making
engineers more successful by following DevOps best practices, including:
- Building
automation
- Adding
better testing
- Fixing
bugs
Codefresh debuts Fixvember at codefresh.io/fixvember in tandem
with the launch of public-facing builds in the Codefresh platform. With a goal
of fostering best practices for software development and the adoption of CI/CD
processes,
Codefresh is offering 120 builds/month, private
Docker Registry, Helm Repository, and Kubernetes/Helm Release management for
free. To help teams get going, Codefresh is also offering a huge free tier
within Codefresh with everything needed to do just that. Participation is not
limited to those using Codefresh.

blog, "Announcing Fixvember 2018, the Month-long,
Do-it-from-home, DevOps Hackathon," to find out.
"I can't promise the limited-edition t-shirt
will increase in value, but if it does, I bet it will be worth $1,000 by next year.
The FDA prevents me from promising any health benefits, but it's possible this
t-shirt will actually make you smarter," joked Dan Garfield, Chief Technology
Evangelist for Codefresh. "Software engineers sometimes have a hero complex
that adding cool new features is the most valuable thing. But, being ‘Super
Fresh' means you do the dirty work that makes new features deploy successfully.
Adding automated pipelines, writing tests, or even fixing bugs are the
lifeblood of these projects."
