+
+Hey everyone, we're finally announcing the [Rusty Jam #2][itch]!
+It's a great chance to try out some new Rusty tech,
+form a team of like-minded rustaceans, and feel what
+a full cycle of making a game in Rust feels like in miniature!
+
+Submissions will be open from June 18th to June 26th.
+Voting on submissions will begin as soon as the jam ends and will run for a week.
+
+This jam focuses more on using Rust than anything else.
+That means you aren't restricted on your design, music, or graphics,
+as long as you use Rust to make it!
+
+The optional-to-use theme for the jam is going to be announced
+[in the Rusty Jam Discord][discord] and pinned in the community section.
+While you're waiting for the theme, you can start looking for a team
+in the #looking-for-team Discord channel.
+If you want to solo jam though, that's fine too.
+
+[See the itch.io page for more details about dates, rules, modifiers, etc!][itch]
+
+------
+
+This jam's mascot is Aaron the Rust-loving fox ([submitted][mascot] by vSmiles)!
+
+> Aaron is a proud supporter of Rust and loves spreading this love
+> around the world.
+>
+> He hands out little red flags as he marks the places he's reached,
+> and with his big furry smile, he wants Rust to be an approachable
+> programming language that's suitable for anyone!
+>
+> He also has a very special bandana that features his little friend Ferris.
