[UbuntuWomen] [IndiChix] IRC planning meeting to promote FOSS among women in India

[Satabdi Das]

Hi Vid,

Thanks a lot for your mail. We created a group at
http://wfs-india.dreamwidth.org/. Please do join and share your views there
so that others can see as well. We would also hold another meeting very
soon.

We had a nice discussion yesterday. I will share the meeting minutes
tonight.

And please do share about the even details of gracehopper.

Regards,
Satabdi
