jenn schifferHappy December! I’m watching tiny flurries falling down outside the office window as I type this, and finally feeling both the rush to and relief of a brief winter break before the new year. With all the lights and seasonal cheer on display, it only made sense to choose “gift-giving” as this month’s Glitch Community Code Jam.
Before you shut your school and work laptops, though, I need a huge favor from you: tell us your nominations for the 2023 Last Year on Glitch! That’s right, it’s our third annual celebration of a wild year of creativity from the Glitch community, and this year we’re welcoming the Fediverse developer community into the mix. Get your nominations, and rickroll attempts, in by December 22nd and stay warm and cozy for the rest of this gift-giving season, ok!
See you on glitch.com
Jenn, Director of Community 👽
P.S. Did you know that we have a weekly livestream on Youtube? It’s called Glitch Jams Live and it’s the channel to surf to when you want to see cool websites and apps the Glitch community is building - and we also do a little live coding as a treat. See you there Fridays at 2pm Eastern!
