       ROOPHLOCH 2026!
       
       solderpunk has announced the annual ROOPHLOCH 2026 (Remote Outdoor 
       Off-Grid Phlogging Challenge) in a recent phost at the zaibatsu 
       circumlunar colony. [1] I have participated in the past and would 
       like to continue.  Unsure what I will do this year or where or how 
       it will happen, but I do enjoy the annual gopher event and helps me 
       to not feel so...disconnected.  I hope to see some of you 
       participate as well this year!
