I'm using this jam as a way to motivate me to make games and learn to program. I love the fact that it's a month long, because it gives me plenty of time to work on my game with barely any pressure. :)
Good luck to you too! I also really like game jams that aren't too short, as i have other stuff going on and it gives me more time to do the hardest part of game development for me (If we exclude making music/sound effects), which is coming up with ideas and sticking with them.
