How this works
Membership is free. Four steps and you're part of it.
01
Sign in with Google
One account, no passwords to manage. That's the whole sign-up.
02
Pick your chapter
Choose the city nearest you — or online only. You can change it any time.
03
Pick your interests
Optional — skip it if you like. It just helps us point you at the right things first.
04
Land on your dashboard
Your chapter, upcoming events, and a place to publish what you're building.
Badges are earned
Badges recognize contributing — publishing work, running things, helping people. Nobody gets a badge for logging in.
Publish, don't queue
Posts publish immediately — there is no approval step. Discord is for chat; the feed is for published work.
