Let’s join ILUGC monthly meet
Hi everyone,
On June 24, 2024: Feedback from KanchiLUG attendees on June 23, 2024
Monthly collaborations with other teams can be good. (example: when
other communities conduct events on the same weekend. Instead of two
events, we can collab and do a united one)
As per recent feedback, we came to know that having monthly meets in
same week with other LUGs and open source community is not so great,
This coming week we will have ILUGC monthly meet, so hereby we can
cancel the KanchiLUGs monthly meet this week.
This week we will join in ILUGC’s monthly meeting on July 13th, 2024
If needed, we can conduct in another week
