    It's nearly that time of year again - the 10th (!) edition of Advent of Code is just around the corner!

    For the past few years, I've been hosting the "Leaderboard for Mainframers", and I'd love to invite you to be part of it. Whether you're just getting started with the mainframe world or you're a seasoned Z expert, everyone is welcome to join the fun.

    If you or your company would like to support this year's participants with a bit of swag, that would be hugely appreciated.

    It's a great way to encourage learning and engagement in our community.

    πŸ‘‰ All the details and sign-up info can be found here: Welcome - Advent of Code Mainframers

    Let's solve some puzzles and show what the mainframe community can do!
