HO HO HO, christamas is approaching and so is dJulkalendern

Applications for the dJulkalendergroup has opened! 🦆🎉 Help create dJulkalendern, our christmas themed CTF (Capture the Flag 🚩), dÄggjakten, a planned Easter jeopardy CTF, and finetune dHöstkalendern.

Apply, if you 🫵 think you can help with the following:

Creating challenges

• 💻 Window creation: Do you want to create challenges that engage the solvers in an area of computer science 💽, cybersecurity 🔐, or really just any arbitrary topic 🍶 that you know of? Apply as a Window creator for the dJulgroup!

• 🥼 Testing: Test, test, 1, 2, 3? Do you want to make sure our windows are reasonably solvable? Preventing guessy methodsand promoting logical conclusions? Apply as a tester for the dJulgroup!

• 📝🔥Story writing: Do you want to author dAnkans adventures? Lead the reader towards your sly hints? Make sure that christmas wonder never fails? Apply as a story writer for the dJulgroup!

• 📢 PR: Want to make sure that our CTF-challenges reaches the entire country? Maybe even further 🤔? Do you want to contact sponsors and in general, do you like money🤑? Apply as PR-responsible for the dJulgroup!

• 🖼️ Graphic design: Do you want to interpret the story through the lens of our brainrotted zeitgeist 🎨? Do you want an outlet for your creative energy, even if you are not comfortable with the pen 🖊️, brush 🖌️ or digital tools? Apply as graphics person for the dJulgroup! (The fact is: The less experience, the better)

• 🕸️ Web development: Do you want to create and improve our website, which solvers will use? Apply as web developer for the dJulgruppen!

• 🧰 Infrastructure: Do you know DNS, how to write containerfiles, tweak clusters, IaC, CI/CD and DevOps in general (as a Service)? Apply as infrastructure responsible and help us out when the challenges inevitably explode!

These areas and probably a few other things I can't think of right now are something you can do in the dJulgroup! If you're interested in any of these, or anything else CTF-related, I think you should apply! 😇 No pre-requisites required (except for the infrastructure role)

⚠️⚠️⚠️ The form is open until the 28th of September ➡️ https://dsekt.se/sok-djul ⚠️⚠️⚠️ (Swedish and English use the same form)

Best, Jimmy, Tomtemor/-far
