Proposing FOSS Prayagraj: Launching a New Community Chapter

Hi FOSS United team,
I am Shivansh Chaurasiya, really want to bring a vibrant FOSS Chapter to Prayagraj.It’s about building a community that genuinely helps each other grow. Prayagraj needs a central hub for open-source learning and collaboration.

Plan for FOSS Prayagraj :

1).Monthly Meetups: Aim for 2-3 hour sessions with 3-6 talks, targeting 20-50 people initially.

2).Flexible Venues: We’ll partner with local Prayagraj colleges or co-working spots for sponsored event space – no fixed address, just accessibility.

3).Building the Local Team:I’m actively reaching out and gathering passionate individuals within Prayagraj who can form the core local organizing team on the ground.

First Meetup Idea (Tentative): “FOSS 101: Why Open Source Matters.” Aiming for a weekend afternoon, late August/early September 2025.

I’ve carefully reviewed your guidelines and standards and am committed to making this a success. I’m especially excited about your support, including the meetup grants.

Looking forward to about how we can make FOSS Prayagraj a reality.

Best,
Shivansh Chaurasiya
