Run a Linux Distro on your Computer or Laptop, spend some time spicing it up with customizations and receive some cool swag to match your desktop.

## So What is a Rice / Ricing?

The term ‘rice’ is used to describe a person’s unix desktop where ‘ricing’ is when someone is customizing their desktop such as the icons, panels, or system interface. When it comes to ricing a tiling window manager though, the ricing of a user’s system becomes much more involved. Basic things such as the panel bar and application launcher must be configured by the user.

See the basics of ricing here

## Where does your rice go?

After you submit your rice it will be added to the gallery

## When does it end?

V3 will end on TBD

## Ready to start?

Set up Hackatime and start ricing using the editor of your choice! Hackatime will need to be set up with the same email as your Hack Club Slack account in order to count. You will need to push your customization files to a Github repo once you're done. Afterward, submit a PR to the Riceathon repo with an update to the members.json(check the formatting there for a template!)

Development chatter happens in the #riceathon channel in the Hack Club Slack.
