Hi Binod, Ricky, Welcome again to FOSS Nepal Community, our pleasure to have you on board.
I really liked the idea of Binod jee to initiate something small UK FOSS Force :). You guys are fully equipped with your FOSS and FLOSSophy, so the moment you think about it, you have already started working on it. Congratulation for the perfect take off and best wishes for happy journey. Would love to hear more from other community members, where ever they are from.
