Announcing ROOPHLOCH 2021
-------------------------

It is September, my gopherspace dudes and dudettes!  In accordance
with the ancient (well, three-year old[1,2]) traditions of this
hallowed space, that means it is time once again for a new Remote
Outdoor Off-Grid Phlogging Challenge!  ROOPHLOCH 2021 starts today.

The rules and spirit of the exercise remain unbent, unbowed and
unbroken.  In order to participate in ROOPHLOCH '21, you need to:

1. Make a phlog post,
2. From somewhere other than the place(s) you normally make phlog
  posts when you aren't participating in ROOPHLOCH,
3. Whilst not inside a permanent human-made structure,
4. Without the *direct* use of permanent infrastructure for power or
  communication.
5. Email me ([email protected]) informing me of the URL of your
  ROOPHLOCH post, so I can publish a list of entries for everybody to
  enjoy.
6. Complete all of the above by midnight, your local time, on
  September 30th, 2021.

As ever, ROOPHLOCH is not a competition and ROOPHLOCH is not a race.
There are no prizes, and there are only winners.  It's an opportunity
to challenge yourself physically and technically, and an invitation to
think about internet and computing infrastructure.  As per past years,
everybody who lets me know about their ROOPHLOC post before the end of
the deadline will have their entry listed alphabetically (not in
order of completion!) in an official round up.  You can check out
previous years' round ups[3,4] for inspiration.

Good luck and have fun!
