Dear Abhishek and FOSSians, On top of the views expressed by Abhishek, this "Start-Ups" sessions can be delievered by anyone who wants to share some specific topics/technical skills in 2-4 hours on a week (end) day. The idea is to host these sessions among ourselves and see how it prepares us for for the technical backstoping.
Further, on a bit cautionary note: there might be situations where sometimes, the "Start-Ups" sessions might be tilted towards some particular XYZ initiatives (as has been seen in the past FKKs), I hope we would commonly agree on broader understanding of the FOSS and for our own collaboration.
