Athens: Can we get the Microsoft t-shirt from Hacktoberfest?

[arschles]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hacktoberfest is described here. The TL;DR is that if you submit 5+ PRs between 10/1 and 10/31 (that you actually authored), then Digital Ocean will ship you a rad shirt. Microsoft is also sponsoring. If you submit 5 PRs to a Microsoft repository, you get a Microsoft T-Shirt (designed by the famous @ashleymcnamara).

Athens isn't a Microsoft repository though, so PRs here aren't eligible toward the MS t-shirts 😦

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like for people to get Microsoft t-shirts (in addition to DigitalOcean ones) if they submit PRs to Athens.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I haven't considered anything else really. I guess just not getting MS t-shirts?

Additional context

I work at Microsoft, so I've asked the Hacktoberfest organizers if PRs here will be eligible for MS T-Shirts.

I really want peeps to get MS t-shirts because Ashley is rad (as are her designs).

I'll take this one

I just followed up with some folks at Microsoft. They're not going to be sponsoring GitHub projects outside of the Microsoft related GitHub organizations (/Microsoft, /Azure and so on) this year.

The DigitalOcean shirts are still available though 😄

I submitted a pull request towards microsoft visual studio code and have not received a t-shirt or an email saying I would be recieving one yet..

@Hamthannuel you will have to get in touch with Microsoft regarding that. This project is not under Microsoft. If you check out this post you will see they are in the process of reviewing submissions.
