Hi @naveenkumar29052006 - it was brought to my attention that you currently have 7 open issues assigned to you, even though the rules state to assign yourself one issue at a time as they are merged. (❗You must only assign yourself one task at a time to give everyone a chance to participate.❗)

For your reference, here are the issues you self-assigned:

1. This issue, 4720
2. #4713
3. #4708
4. #4143
5. #4365
6. #4322
7. #2825

I have unassigned you from 4713, 4708, 4143, 4322, and 2825. Please do not self-assign any other issues until the ones left assigned to you are resolved. The reason for this rule is to give everyone a fair shot at contributing and earn points. Thank you!

@taniandjerry , I have literally raided the open issues. Nothing to hop on. They've all been assigned and most of them don't have PRs being linked to.

Please, I need to work on at least two more issues before Hacktoberfest comes to an end. Thank you.

@EbonyLouis and @blackgirlbytes .

Please look into this. Thanks

[taniandjerry]

Hi @Lymah123 . Thank you for your contributions so far. I have tagged you in two content issues, you can self assign one of them to you.

Myself and the team will create more issues. Don't worry! We just were waiting to see all current issues and in progress ones get taken and contributed to. We will review open issues available and add more for Hacktoberfest. Thank you!

[taniandjerry]

Hi @Lymah123 - you also have #5170 assigned to you, currently!

That is true. Thanks @taniandjerry

[taniandjerry]

Of course! Also for an update, we are not opening new issues and instead helping contributors get their open issues with/without PRs merged. In this time, some of those issues may reopen if a contributor doesn't respond. Thank you for your contributions and hope this helps!

@taniandjerry alright. For now I have worked on all my assigned issues and they're all merged. If there's any issue you think I can work on feel free to tag me whether Hacktoberfest or not. Contribution to block/goose continues on my own end.

Moving forward, my contribution is not targeting only Hacktoberfest contributions but general contributions. I will also look into open issues to start working on.

Hi @Lymah123 - I've gone ahead and assigned you this issue if you'd like to work on it! Given that we are in the final week of Hacktoberfest, I'm reviewing all assigned issues and reopening them for active contributors like you that have been working hard to contribute to goose. Thank you so much for all your contributions so far, and for continued contributions as well! I'm relaxing on the multiple claimed issues rule for any issues that have had no movement as I reopen them as well. Thank you for your patience <3

Hi @Lymah123 - I am writing to let you know that since Hacktoberfest ends in two days, and the team needs the remaining time to finalize PRs and rankings, all open issues without an open PR by tomorrow the 30th will be closed. So be sure to submit your contribution before then. Thank you so much for participating!
