Hi everyone, I’m Dilip (aka Zororg | user: @idlip), I bring in the first Tech report from FossUnited Platform. Here on, we will be publishing our monthly Tech report for progress and catching up. Hopefully it aids in two-way communication to improve and enhance feature and overall platform. More than a report, this is mostly to say what’s being worked on and focused day-to-day. This opens up space to contribute and fill gaps in the ecosystem. # Tech report - Aug 2025 Here is the blog post made for it: > **[Tech Report - Aug 2025](https://fossunited.org/blog/tech-report/aug-2025)** > > Tech report for Aug 2025 For overview of the status check our project board: [FOSS United Platform · GitHub](https://github.com/orgs/fossunited/projects/3/views/1) It covers the simple gist: 1.

Adding Governing board members to the teams page.

Moving ahead, I’d like to improve documentation for FossUnited to enable easy contribution by others and hopefully to sustain record of information. ---

# Tech report - Nov 2025 Hi everyone, Here’s the accompanying blog post for the same report: [Tech report - Nov 25](https://fossunited.org/blog/tech-report/nov-25) November brought some significant feature additions focused on event management, funding discovery, and design consistency. We’ve shipped v3.0 design to more pages, introduced self-service tools for organizers, and launched our Grants Funding Directory. - **Events Page Redesign** ([#1265](https://github.com/fossunited/fossunited/pull/1265)): The events page now follows v3.0 design language with dark mode support! Better event cards, improved sponsor/speaker sections, and cleaner social links. → Example page: [MiniDebConf Navi Mumbai 2025](https://fossunited.org/c/mumbai/minidebconf2025) This continues our gradual adoption of v3.0 design across the platform with dark mode toggle. - **Grants Funding Directory** ([#1283](https://github.com/fossunited/fossunited/pull/1283)): Inspired by floss.fund, we now have a directory where projects can list their funding needs using standardized `funding.json` manifests. Each project gets a dedicated page with filtering and validation. → [Grants Directory](https://fossunited.org/grants/directory) If you maintain a FOSS project seeking funding, consider adding yours! - **RSVP Self Check-in System** ([#1286](https://github.com/fossunited/fossunited/pull/1286), [#1287](https://github.com/fossunited/fossunited/pull/1287), [#1288](https://github.com/fossunited/fossunited/pull/1288)): Event attendees can now check themselves in during event hours via their RSVP edit page. Organizers get a dedicated dashboard showing check-in data by date with CSV download. Makes attendance tracking much easier! [Documentation](https://docs.fossunited.org/attend-event/) - **Host Approval Workflow** ([#1282](https://github.com/fossunited/fossunited/pull/1282)): Organizers can enable “host requires approval” for RSVP forms. Review and approve/reject RSVPs from the insights page with automated emails. Great for capacity-limited events or when you need more control over attendee list. - **Free Ticket Management** ([#1259](https://github.com/fossunited/fossunited/pull/1259), [#1260](https://github.com/fossunited/fossunited/pull/1260)): Complete free ticket workflow is now self-service!

Perfect for sponsor tickets or complimentary passes. - **First Commit Initiative** ([#1271](https://github.com/fossunited/fossunited/pull/1271)): Launched dedicated page for First Commit at [fossunited.org/first-commit](https://fossunited.org/first-commit) with v3 styling.
