You read that right - this past weekend our friends at Gubbdata held their 2020 edition online, and it seems there is some fire in the old bones yet. There was a RECORD amount of submissions, and some really really really stunning releases came out. Our tireless worker drones (and also hedning. Actually mostly hedning.) have been at it around the clock to get those goodies out to you, and the fruits of the labour can now be enjoyed at the destinations below.

Gubbdata 2020 (June 26-28), Sweden's biggest event for C64 these days, will be an online event this year. This is sad, but will be no problem as the party place has a professional pod-studio; all compos and all events will be streamed and discussed. Stream will be available on Scenesat. Main hosts will be hedning/GP and Phreedh/HmF, and special guests will run demo shows, interviews, compos and more! All compos and shows will be run on real hardware, and streamed through our RetroTink and HDMI, and multiple cameras will capture both the smaller BBQ and the reactions of the people being invited as special guests. Remote entries are accepted in all compos, so check out gubbdata.se for rules. Send them to hedning@gubbdata.se. We will do the best we can to make it as kickass as possible, so tune in!
Streams will be at:

The Dutch party took place last weekend and was like many things those days, an online-only event. Despite the challenging conditions, releases were aplenty on many platforms, old and new. Note that the online Outline can almost be seen as an appetizer for the Outline 'brick and mortar' that has been moved to November.
Outline recently announced they were pivoting to an online event this year, and have now relaunched their website with all that good info - and the possibility to purchase a ticket for the online edition.
Solskogen organizing have shared some information over on their site - the TL;DR is that the 2020 edition is going Online.
