Thanks for your reply.

Chandra, Ghanshyam also agreed privately to have such a Slack channel
with all the mentors, contributors and everyone else who would be
interested in discussing or just watching what happens. So we will
create the channel and, please everyone, let us (Karthik, Patrick,
Kaartic and me) know if you want to be part of it.

please just let us know and we will invite you.

Thanks!
