[Sugar-devel] Sugar Outreach Plans 2019 - PyCon Cleveland

[Sumit Srivastava]

Hi, Vipul, Jaskirat, and all members of SL community!

These days I'm thinking about two things:

1. How to expand the SL developer community?

2. How do we move towards the vision for sugar labs that was discussed a
few weeks ago in an email thread?

As of now, I've some ideas for *1*, but need more inputs from everyone.
Shall I start a new thread for new inputs?

And yes, I'm constantly thinking about how can we make great things happen
in the community. Glad that you noticed.

Regards
Sumit
