I decided to participate too!

Here is my repo.

And here is a short "Coding talks" Video on how to code Advent of Code and use Github and VSCode.

Hi Bert!

I think you are right twice. First, no one can stop cheating in the world and the second no one can win this contest with cheating. And of course no one can stop copy-n-paste in coding :) On the other hand, there is a chance to know something new even with copy-pasting.

As a community manager, I would love to see more open repositories with ObjectScript and I like what we had last year - the open discussion of Advent of Code problems solved with ObjectScript. Thanks for sharing your repo! 

Speaking about the prize it's clear that it can be interesting only to people who develop with InterSystems Data Platforms and I believe this is the key motivation to win.  

As we see it now the competition is active and healthy, we don't plan to change any rules but encourage the fair play.

That's easy:

1. Register on Open Exchange - in your case just sign in with same credentials as on DC.

2. In your personal page submit a new app which is the set of Name, Description, Github, License and Product link.

3. Submit for Approval.

That's it.

Once approved start to receive the traffic for your application via Open Exchange.

There is a dedicated post on how to submit the application
