Lexember

#Lexember is a social media event in the conlanging community where the participating conlangers put in an effort to create at least one new word per day for the duration of a whole month. The idea was developed by Pete Bleackley and Mia Soderquist in November 2012, and the first #Lexember event took place on Twitter and Google+ in December 2012 (hence the name of the hashtag). At least 25 conlangers joined the game, and at least Christophe Grandsire-Koevoets and Jan Strasser published a summary of all their #Lexember words on their blogs.

#Lexember is meant to be repeated yearly, so a new round will start on December 1, 2013. In addition, some conlangers have proposed extending the game to all months ending in -ember, so that daily word-creation would take place in September and November too (see e.g. this blogpost for some results from Sept 2013).
