# Discord Reopening ###### tags: `Community Announcements` Hi everyone, We are re-opening our Discord community for Hacktoberfest, and the team and I are eager to start collaborating with interested contributors. While we are reopening and revamping our Discord community, we're also planning to move elsewhere because our current setup of Discord + Signal isn't optimal for everybody. We've experimented with a number of communication platforms, and we're pretty sure that we're going to move to element.io, but nothing is certain yet. We're actively looking for more people to join the team and learn with us, so this month is a great chance to contribute and earn a spot on our next platform! You can learn more about Grey Software's Hacktoberfest [here](https://grey.software/hacktoberfest/) The best way to get started is by completing our [onboarding exercise](https://onboarding.grey.software/). Once you're a Grey Software Explorer, you'll be better equipped to start contributing to our other projects.
