Professional or hobbiest developer? Wow! We're honored you want to jam with us. : )
Everyone is welcome, and every skill is useful! Whether you're an artist, a writer, a coder, an editor or tester, a mathmetician, a project manager, or just a really awesome muse, we have a place for you here.
We have several mentors on site happy to help you learn something new or perfect aquired skills. We've got food. We've got fun. We've got software and craft supplies!
