Hey Everyone!
Congrats to everyone who participated on Open Jam 2018! Everyone who participated is a FOSS hero!
A couple of items of business:
1. Late submissions. Itch.io submission deadline is hard and unfeeling and it shuts of the second the time passes. We however as hosts aren't hard and unfeeling :). If you just missed the deadline never fear! We can generate you a late submission link. Just email me: jsprague@redhat.com, or chat me in discord (caramelcode), a link to your game and I'll generate you a link. https://itch.io/docs/creators/game-jams#the-submission-process/late-submissions
2. Voting starts now! You can start playing and rating games immediately, and voting ends in 7 days. Please be patient with peoples entries as there may be bugs. Post constructive comments. You can fix blocking bugs during the voting phase as we want people to play your game!
3. Judging. The hosts will be going through each entry and awarding Open Source Karma to each entry as a comment as outlined in the rules page: https://itch.io/jam/open-jam-2018 The top 3 games with (Overall + Open Source Karma) will be featured at All Things Open conference later this month. Note games need at least 10 ratings to qualify, so make sure to play and rate as many games as you can!
Congrats again and THANK YOU for joining!
Let me know if you have any questions!
