Most of the SAINTCON community lives in Discord the other 361 days of the year. It's where you'll catch each year's Call openings first (Communities, Contests, Events, Presentations, Volunteers, Sponsors), and where the rest of the year-round chatter happens: minibadge trading, schedule updates, meetup planning.
