Riceathon

A Hack Club YSWS where you can rice your Linux desktop and submit your dotfiles to get free programmer socks

Run a Linux Distro on your Computer or Laptop, spend some time spicing it up with customizations and recieve some cool swag to match your desktop.

So What is a Rice / Ricing?

The term ‘rice’ is used to describe a person’s unix desktop where ‘ricing’ is when someone is customizing their desktop such as the icons, panels, or system interface. When it comes to ricing a tiling window manager though, the ricing of a user’s system becomes much more involved. Basic things such as the panel bar and application launcher must be configured by the user.

Where does your rice go?

After you submit your rice it will be added to the gallery

When does it end?

On January 10th, so get ricing before the fun is over!

Ready to start?

Set up Hakatime and start ricing using the editor of your choice! Hakatime will need to be set up with the same email as your Hack Club Slack account in order to count. You will need to push your customization files to a Github repo once you're done. Afterward, submit a PR to the Riceathon repo with an update to the members.json(check the formatting there for a template!)

Development chatter happens in the #riceathon channel in the Hack Club Slack.
