Create like this. It will not make sense to have a proper registration link and what you're doing. And then properly structure, now. So go like this and we create the same structure in a uh Google Google Drive. >> Yes. Okay. I think the same structure is what Sagar was using. So I just had to add these tracks. Okay, I'll take it from him or I'll just follow the same thing. I'll take his data and format it in this way. >> No, I'm asking for the hackathon, not for that that one that DevCon one. >> No, no, even for the even for the hackathon we listed out in a different document. That's what we're we have listed a few tracks where Sagar has listed out few tracks in the same document.
