Tentative partnership (IndiaFOSS sponsorship) from the Linux Foundation.
We have been in conversation with Ram Iyengar from the Cloud Foundry about a potential partnership with the Linux Foundation, specifically an IndiaFOSS sponsorship slot, for almost a month now. Most recently, the team (@rahulporuri , @wisharya , @ansh ) met on Wednesday, 19th June, to discuss things further. We’re close to finalising the sponsorship slot (including booth presence) for the Linux Foundation at IndiaFOSS 4.0. Note that Ram is a regular in the FOSS United Chennai community (he spoke at the March meetup) and thank you @ansh for helping this partnership come together.
I also met Ram for dinner in Hyderbad because he was in town to speak at Kubernetes Community Day Hyderabad. We had a great conversation, during which he mentioned that one of his responsibilities at the Cloud Foundry is to run the annual elections. FOSS United has been looking to setup elections and a governance board (see FOSS United 2.0 : The Community, the Organization, and the next two years) and Ram kindly volunteered to get the ball rolling in this regard.
