And thank you @eshellman for the massive amount of time and energy you put in to keep this repo clean, encourage new contributors and generally help to share programming knowledge across the world! This is a massive community service and would not be possible without you. |

The free-programming-books repo on GitHub continued to be amazing in 2023. As of January 4, 2024, it has 306,220 stars, up from 219,041 stars, second most of all repos on Github and up 40% from two years ago. The repo has been forked 58,951 times, and it added another 851 commits from 422 individuals in 2023. 2,852 people in total have supported the project with improvements. The repo now lists books in 44 written languages and courses in 38 spoken languages.
Hacktoberfest was responsible for 68% of our activity this year. It was quite a bit less frenzied this year, as Digital Ocean no longer gives out T-shirts. We started seeing some AI generated submissions, which were easy to spot and were of terrible quality; we banned more accounts than in previous years. Once again we had new community members step up to assist their comrades understand our formatting and content requirements. These folks are the real stars of free-programming-books Hacktoberfest; the experience of becoming a contributor would be MUCH less pleasant without them!
In addition to the React-based search facility that went live in 2022, some other bits of automation have made the review process more efficient. The one I appreciate the most is the Github Action that adds the output of our linter to PRs.
On behalf of the free-programming-books users around the world, I'd like to once again thank every author, programmer or educator who has allowed their works to be free for all to use. Together we can bring the world closer together with knowledge and opportunity.
