Everyone coming to DINACON has just 3 simple rules:
- Make Something
- Document and Share it
- Give feedback to at least 2 other folks about their thing!
Many projects are also collected in our books (which are available to download for free)!
Here is also a growing collection of all the amazing projects developed at our fun little jungle/sea conference!
