October is around the corner, which means spooky season is upon us, and with that crispy fall air that gives you "goose" bumps...it's finally time for Hacktoberfest 2025! The goose team is beyond excited to celebrate with you all for the first time this year. Let's get into how you can participate, and what prizes you can win. 馃憖
A website to me is a corner of the internet where I can be who I am, share my work, and ultimately a place I can do whatever I want with. For it to be anything but my personality personified, especially as an ex-nerdy blog designer (in my middle school and high school days), felt so sad! Until suddenly, what started out as a harmless "404 Day" challenge quickly turned into making that website in basically no time.
The only way to discover how much of an impact your contributions can make is to submit them and hope for the best. Sometimes, what feels like "just a small fix" can end up reshaping an open source project or inspiring a brand new feature. Here's how one of our top contributors turned a small build fix into important improvements for the goose experience.
As the goose team continues to work on new features over 800 community members voted to express their need for Goose on Windows. Today's top contributor stepped in to aid this ongoing effort.
MCP this, MCP that, what exactly is it, and can you use them if you're not a developer? 馃
Want to use Goose in VS Code? On the recent Wild Goose Case livestream, hosts Ebony Louis and Adewale Abati were joined by Andrew Gertig, Engineering Lead at Cash App, as he demonstrated the new VSCode MCP and how it brings powerful Goose-assisted coding capabilities directly into VS Code.
How do we debug AI agents like goose? In the Goosing Around stream series, host Rizel Scarlett invited Marc Klingen, Co-Founder at Langfuse, and Alice Hau, Machine Learning Engineer at Block, to demo how Langfuse enables observability into goose's actions, letting you trace LLM behavior and catch errors.
On the Goosing Around stream series, host Rizel Scarlett demonstrated how to use goose locally with Ollama for a fully local experience on your device. Her guest, Parth Sareen, an experienced software engineer with a focus on building frameworks and systems for AI/ML, showed us the magic of structured outputs and how goose and Ollama work together under the hood.
In our previous episode of goose Flight School, our host Adewale Abati showed us how to use goose to take a Figma design and transform it into a functional Nuxt application. In this stream he covered the entire process, from initial setup to final implementation, highlighting how goose can help developers bridge the gap between design and development.
During our previous livestream, Aaron Goldsmith, Infrastructure Operations Engineer at Cash App, showed a team of goose AI agents collaborating in real time to create a website. Our community loved it so much, Cliff Hall was inspired to iterate on that idea and create a gooseTeam MCP server.
