_Happy November!_ Some of you may be in chaotic end-of-year mode, be it through school ahead of holiday break or at work during 2024 planning. Either way, I appreciate you taking the time to read our posts.

Things are far more _buzzing_ than chaotic on our team. We’ve been laying down a lot of groundwork towards building the new Glitch - which, in case you missed it, you can [learn how to get involved here in the forum](https://support.glitch.com/t/sneak-peek-glitch-development-preview/). The vision has always been building with the community, and so I’m stoked that we kicked off our first [Glitch Community Code Jams](https://glitch.com/jams). All through November the community has been building around the theme of “self-portrait.”

I’ve been building my own self-portrait for the jam too, [live every Friday on our Youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkkL3Pim_xkWKMmXOMX1KjJkCkFjQv2MB). Subscribe and join us sometime! I spend most of the hour showing off cool projects the community made on Glitch and then do some casual live coding while the chat helps me point out where I misplaced a comma. Hey, it keeps me humble!


See you on [glitch.com](https://glitch.com/)  
**Jenn**, Director of Community 👽

P.S. Have you created anything on Glitch lately? We’d love to feature it as an upcoming App of the Week. [Submit your creations - or your favorites from the community - here!](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdqlt3JxpGrrZKTsoXVk-BvXZiQvZyuqA6fU6caLIqt2gEXLw/viewform)

### On the blogs ✍️

[In the October edition of Last Month on Glitch](https://blog.glitch.com/post/october-2023-on-glitch-slow-and-steady), we showcase community projects built on WebXR, maps, Raspberry Pis, Timothée Chalomet’s wardrobe, and a lot more!

Here are some blog posts from the community that we loved!

*   If you use Kubernetes, you're going to read this one: my teammate, Hannah Aubry, [shared how to get the fastest and most secure experience with this One Weird Trick](https://dev.to/fastly/this-is-your-sign-to-update-your-kubernetes-download-workflow-5hf2).
*   Keiran Lee Farr put [a lot of thought into building BabyPi](https://scribe.rip/@kfarr/part-1-babypi-a-simple-raspberry-pi-powered-toy-computer-for-kids-396fa323c9e1), a toy computer for kids, using Glitch and a Raspberry Pi. [In part 2](https://medium.com/@kfarr/part-2-babypi-step-by-step-building-guide-and-parts-list-ba746fe10537), they shared a step-by-step guide on how to build one yourself!
*   [Rory Gianni recorded and shared out their hands-on introductory webinar for D3](https://creatingwithdata.com/taking-your-first-steps-with-d3-js-webinar-recording/), a great way to get started if you’re interested in building data visualizations!
*   Our own Casey did [a one-month review and update](https://motd.co/2023/10/postmarks-one-month-update/) on their social bookmarking project [~postmarks](https://postmarks.glitch.me/).
*   As someone obsessed with Wikipedia, I absolutely must share [Stefan Bohacek’s “top edits on Wikipedia” bot](https://stefanbohacek.com/project/top-wikipedia-edits/)!
*   And as the daughter of a former garbage truck driver, I also have to share the Google Chrome developer blog’s post about [WebAssembly Garbage Collection](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/wasmgc/) which includes a demo of it with Kotlin in action on Glitch~

**Have you written about your Glitch apps on a blog, a conference talk…anywhere? Let us know and we’ll feature it in the next newsletter!**
