Hi,
I would like to take a step forward and create a Facebook
group(closed) for the ChennaiPy community because us,students of the
younger generation,use Facebook as social media much more than
e-mails. So it'll help us as a community to reach out more to college
students of various campuses and also share and announce and invite
friends and colleagues in various events.
Those who are not in facebook need not worry, as anything and
everything I post there will be informed in this mailing list too by
me so that no one misses anything! :)
Hi Swastik,
I would suggest against creating a group on Facebook. This would just
lead to more fragmentation, if discussions were to happen on the
Facebook group, it will not visible to people on the mailing list. I
would recommend people and students to join the mailing list.
Also, I see the Slack workspace of ChennaiPy given in the website
is not working, so I'd be creating another Slack channel which works
and I'll share the invitation link here. It's my request to those who
are in charge of the website to replace the workspace in the website
with the current one eventually so that anyone interested can open
Slack and join the active community from there! :)
No sure what you mean by "Slack workspace ... is not working." I just
checked the channel, it looks good. If you can be more specific, we can
see what needs to be fixed. BTW, the best way to work, is to work with
the community by helping with things that needs to be fixed, rather than
forking off and creating competing services.
As students, it's our duty to make ChennaiPy as active as
possible. I am also thinking of taking an initiative to start a
Hack-Sats on every 1st or maybe 2nd Suturdays where we can come
together and discuss and contribute in various open source projects
for the love of FOSS!
Thanks for coming forward, and taking up initiatives. You might want to
elaborate more on what you plan to do during Hack-Sats. What to expect
at the meetup? Who will be leading the contributions effort? How much
time are you planning to spend? Is there any pre-requisite, for people
attending the event? I request you to present your idea at the October
Chennaipy meetup. Once the details are ironed out we can get this
scheduled, on meetup.
Regards,
Vijay
