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".
