For Week 4 of Devtoberfest, it’s Spooktoberfest! That means it’s time to share your favorite spooky tech stories, decorations, or costumes!
To participate, you only need to complete the following steps.
Step 1: You can do either one or all of the following: write about a spooky tech story, take a picture of some spooky decorations, or take a picture of you in a costume. The stories can be about anything that leans spooky, like weird bugs that happened for incredibly strange reasons, that time you saw a ghost in the server room, or a time your laptop crashed right after threatening it. The pictures can be of anything spooky, Halloween, or fall related, like house décor or someone in a costume (pets included!). This rule isn’t strict so interpret it as creatively as you’d like!
Step 2: Post your spooky material in the comments of this discussion post before EOD October 27th. If you’ve already posted your material elsewhere, feel free to link that in the comments.
Step 3 (optional): Check out the rest of the comments to get in that spooky mood for October 31st!

Be as creative or relaxed as you want. The only important thing is that you have fun.
For my own decorations, I have this shelving behind my desk that I like to decorate for meetings when I turn on my camera. For October, I decorated by shelves with a fall/Halloween theme. I like to think it helps get me and others into the holiday spirit.
Note: You are not restricted to post this only during Friday, October 25th. This is open the entire third week of Devtoberfest, from October 21st through October 27th. We will award points and badges after that time.
Have fun and let’s all get into that spooky spirit!
