Gerp took place on February 1-3 in Sweden and once again olschool platforms were the main focus: Amigaaaah, as traditionally at Gerp, but also C64 and a pinch of Atari ST and ZX Spectrum.

Synchrony is a peculiar demoparty in the sense that it starts in one city and ends up in another: first New York City, then on an Amtrak train and finally Montréal. Find out below what happened onboard the mystery train.

Hope everyone's having fun and hacking on various bits of Demozoo :) The third hackathon is well under way, and if you're not already there, please do stop by our Slack to chat. We'll be around all weekend, so come say hi!

Now, for some news. We're happy to announce that we have cooperated with the premier Amiga demoscene database Janeway, for an export of all their data, for inclusion in Demozoo. This means that over the next few weeks, you'll see a significant bump in Amiga-related information on Demozoo. Just to put the amount of data in perspective, they currently sit at over 90,000 productions alone. Thank you very much to the entire Janeway team - particularly Asle and Zeg, for the generous gesture of allowing us their data. At Demozoo, we value open data, and we're very happy that our brothers and sisters working on more specific sites feel the same.

We'd like to stress very explicitly that this does not in any way shape or form mean that Janeway is going away. The team is motivated and active, and will still be going forward for many years to come.

The C64 scene had the opportunity to flex their muscles lately with that online competition organized by our friends at CSDb. No less than 63 entries were submitted! There's no shortage of creativity and talent in sight for the little brown box.
