Hackjam #2 - Get your teams ready!
Hey guys, Hackjam #2 is coming up, as this is a strictly team-based event we've opted to open up the team assembly channels a week in advance so that everyone can get ready for the theme to drop on the 14th without having to rush to get teammates.Those who carefully read the last sentence might have already noticed that I've mentioned a theme.
