Hey, folks, I wanted to amplify Ayush’s request here. If you’re in or near Hamirpur, and are available to mentor contributors during this time, or if you’re willing to participate remotely, please do speak up and copy Ayush. If you’d like to promote your project to this audience, and have beginner-friendly issues that you can recommend, that is also welcome.
Ayush, regarding swag, we do not currently have availability of swag for third-party events. > On Sep 16, 2026, at 8:48 AM, Ayush Kumar <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm Ayush (ayyush, committer on Apache Fory).
