"...This year's OCC will take place during the first full week of
July. That means from the 5th to the 12th this year.
Given the constant onslaught of LLM garbage the last few years, I
thought it was appropriate for us to have a theme again, if a
simple one. There are still no rules for how you OCC, but I'd like
to encourage people to hand-make something during their OCC week
and share it somehow, be it on their page, on the mailing list, or
in IRC. Write a story, make some music, publish a new program. Just
flex your creative muscle!..." [1]
