Revision 2020 cancelled physically
The news just reached us, that Revision 2020 is officially cancelled, just like most larger gatherings of people in the world these last few weeks. While regrettable, we all understand why and hope for a swift end to the virus woes and a triumphant return in 2021 for everyone's favourite easter event.
Organizers do intend to arrange the stream, and make an online edition for this year - with compos, seminars and shenanigans. They will be offering "support tickets" to hopefully offset some of the losses incurred by cancelling the event, which will allow you to vote in the competitions. More information on this is forthcoming, but for now check the page below for current information:

Assembly Winter - remote entries allowed!
Assembly Winter is happening this coming weekend, and the organizers just announced the following;
"We decided to open up remote entry option also for Tracked Music and Graphics competitions! Remote entries are also allowed for One Scene competition. Remote entries are submitted by email to compo-contact@assembly.org by the competition deadlines! With remote entries we recommend you to submit the entry early, not just 1minute before the deadline but rather 2 hours before. ;) Go make a tune, graphics or a demo about it! Or why not all!"
C64 Scene Mags is undead!
After a bit of a break, it seems the C64 Scene Mags collection has returned to active duty! Jazzcat posted both on the csdb forums and on their own website, the following "After a break of 4 years, we are back! The Ultimate C64 Scene Magazine Archive has a new website layout (our old site fell into a state of disrepair and total neglect). Not only that, we are very happy to deliver the long awaited Update #11, this update includes bug fixes, rare magazines as well as a general tidy up of the entire collection."
So, go read some mags (and take some screenshots for us while you're at it ;) ).

Sunset over Solskogen
Today, Solskogen announced the tagline for the 2020 edition will be "Sunset", and told the world that this would be the final installment of the legendary party that began all the way back in 2002.
The team are promising to go out with a bang, and make the final installment one for the ages. The last few editions have been sold out, so if you want to experience one last awesome time at Flateby with that special Solskogen feeling, then you'd better not sleep on this opportunity. Grab your tix while you still can!

The teeny-weeny PETSCII tsunami
Ever wondered how much you could convey with a 2-color, 8x8 array of PETSCII characters? An awful lot actually, as you'll soon see for yourself while browsing the entries of the Tiny PETSCII Compo that took place at our friends from CSDB. As a side note, it's also the biggest competition ever recorded on Demozoo, with a whopping 318 entries submitted. In case you're wondering, the medal for the biggest competition held at a demoparty is still held the Multichannel Music competition at Assembly 1995 with a very respectable 211 entries.
