Taking the Eudyptula Challenge

I signed up for the challenge because a friend sent it to me, but haven't completed the first task. I was glad to know what the first task was but wanted to figure out a way to sandbox my work on the kernel.

Basically, sending the email took <5 minutes and the research to sandbox my work before starting took >1 hour.

Eudyptula kicked me out of the challenge but it's still on my mind as one of a few fun projects when I'm done with my current contract.

Did you sign up recently? Sadly, my request to join didn't induce any reaction. As two other commenters report a similar experience I'm a bit worried the challenge might be dead.

From speaking with Little recently, I can assure you that the challenge is not dead. It is severely backlogged at times, though. AIUI, sometimes it can take up to two weeks to get a response to a request to sign up.
