Updates, @fossdot and I are working towards a quick design MVP for IndiaFOSS conference’s landing page. Once something concrete is ready we’ll share it with dev. There will be many volunteers working async - I’ve created an excel as a source of truth to smoothly run [our tasks](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16y9stiJjMR60GIg4h2uJT24T_WCtPLFsEDzhpR_EnKw/edit?usp=sharing) Additionally @fossdot is setting up a TG group, and a mailing group to facilitate communication between volunteers and external stakeholders. More updates as they are ready, definitely looking forward to an in-person meetup after 2+ years of remote everything 😃 Regards Ganeshaaa ---
