The IOCCC now has a [Discord server](https://discord.gg/2hVYnv83DD)!
Click the link to join the [IOCCC Discord server](https://discord.gg/2hVYnv83DD).
Fans of the IOCCC, hopeful **IOCCC28** contestants, and past winners of the IOCCC
are all encouraged to stop by and say hello.

Based on user input and suggestions, we have been working on some new
functionality for the [mkiocccentry tool set](faq.html#mkiocccentry).
In order to complete and fully test this new functionality, we need
additional time.  Therefore the **IOCCC28 open** date as been **moved
forward for 19 days**.  Moreover, and also by request, the contest will
remain **open for an additional month**.

The [40th anniversary of the IOCCC](faq.html#ioccc_start), which started
on **2024-12-29 23:58:13.213455 UTC**, is now scheduled to be **open**
from **2025-02-19 23:19:17.130705 UTC** to **2025-05-19 23:29:31.374143
UTC**.  We will update the [IOCCC rules](next/rules.html) and
[IOCCC guidelines](next/guidelines.html) accordingly, before the contest opens.
