Announcing RetroChallenge 2022/10!
------------------------
We were going have it in January, but why wait?! We are happy to
announce RetroChallenge for the month of October 2022! Brought to you
again by hosts urbancamo and ep00ch.
About RetroChallenge
In a nutshell, the RetroChallenge is a loosely disorganised gathering
of RetroComputing enthusiasts who collectively do stuff with old
computers for a month.
The event is very much open to interpretation... individuals set their
own challenges, which can range from programming to multimedia work,
hardware restoration to exploring legacy networking, or just plain
fooling around. It really doesn't matter what you do, just so long as
you do it.
Take a look at the "rules" for the RetroChallenge for basic guidelines.
RetroChallenge 2022/10 Theme Categories
We have one theme category for this event: Endurance Challenge. This
category will be judged and awarded separately from the standard
entries. If your project qualifies, enter it into the theme category!
Otherwise, enter in the General category and just do your own retro
thing. Check out last year's List of Entries for some examples.
Endurance Challenge
Really use your retro-computer for a month!
Getting back to the ideals of the orginal RetroChallenge, we are
challenging you to use your vintage computer for a month doing normal
stuff like word processing, budgeting, sending emails, surfing the web,
gaming, dot matrix printing, etc. Document what you did, what works,
what doesn't, and what solutions you found. We will want to see lots of
update posts, but we don't expect much engineering. The Captain's
Quarters II BBS has kindly provided a forum as an option for your
low-bandwith progress logs. As a final nod to the original
RetroChallenge, the best blogger for this category will be based on
popular vote!
Prizes
We have will have some RC 2022/10 mousepads and maybe some more donated
items for the "winners".
How to Enter
