How to find future Lisp Game Jams?

What's the best way to find out when the next Lisp Game Jam is scheduled?

I see a list of past editions here, but I don't think there's a way to subscribe to that file. Obviously, I can check that page periodically, or search on itch.io's Jams page, but I was hoping for something that doesn't require polling web resources.

Good question! Mostly so far we’ve been announcing it on the #lispgames channel in libera.chat. But it’s understandable if not everyone wants to hang out there on IRC. I’ll start a thread in the main itch.io forum about this and we can update it every time there’s a new jam.

But the date for the next jam to start will be the 20th of October. I’ll get it created on itch soon in the next few days.

Here’s a thread where we’ll announce jams in the future: https://itch.io/t/3126696/lisp-game-jam-coming-up

Thank you! I should probably re-learn IRC at some point, but being able to just subscribe to that thread on itch.io works better for me since email is the only thing I'm sure not to miss :)

I checked here for a few times without any luck, so I updated it after I saw this.

FYI: I just updated the wiki to link to the 2024 Spring Lisp Game Jam.

(Thanks to Vito Van for pointing out that the page is part of a wiki--I didn't realize I could just update it myself :)
