	       A Chance to Show Your Skills,
	      Hidden Talents, and New Work in
	      the Racket Programming Language
		 & Mingle with Your Fellow
			 Racketeers

All Pollen fans are welcome to submit a lightning talk, poster, or artwork to the upcoming Racketfest, to be held online in Gather in two parts on March 26 and 27, 2021. This year, Racketfest is eschewing traditional talks in favor of an "amateur night", where the emphasis will be on shorter ("lightning") talks. Show off your latest Pollen projects, a macro that gets the job done, some under-appreciated Racket package (not necessarily your own!), a DrRacket pro tip...anything is welcome. Contact the organizer, Jesse Alama ([email protected]), to submit something.

(It doesn't have to be necessarily about Pollen. Anything having to do with Racket is welcome.)

More details are at the Racketfest homepage. Register here.
