[1]Planned dates are from March 30th to April 29th, below is an excerpt from the announcement, head over to the PGD Challenge [1] page for more details:
In a couple of weeks we are going to start the next PGD Challenge with a brand new theme. As promised it will be simple, yet fun for creating ideas. The development period will last about 4 weeks, plus a weekend to wrap things up. All are welcome to participate.
It’s going to be a lot of fun. There is lots of possibilities from the theme I’ve picked and I hope you will have fun with it.
