Chapter Request: KTR, India #54

Closed arjunbahuguna closed 5 years ago

arjunbahuguna commented 6 years ago

Hi PWL, I'm a Computer Science undergraduate studying at SRM University, Kattankulathur (KTR). Me and my team have been conducting weekly paper-reading sessions for the past two years, as part of activities of Next Tech Lab & SRM-ACM Student Chapter. We've conducted approximately 50 such sessions over two academic years, with two to three papers being discussed in each session. More details about the structure can be found here.

We wish to start a PWL chapter at our university in Kattankulathur, and hold weekly meetups. We plan to record our talks for PWL's YouTube & MixCloud channels. We're interested in knowing if PWL will be providing stickers, swag, tickets to PWLConf, or any such benefits for the PWL-KTR community so we can attract meetup participants.

Thanks, Arjun Bahuguna arjun.bahuguna@nextech.io

I am checking with organizers here about what assistance we can provide. I intend to handle this chapter request within the next couple days.

@arjunbahuguna Hello. If you are interested in creating a chapter that's great. We can provide you with a GitHub repo for your chapter and images for use on Twitter and Meetup.com. We can provide you with a template for printing your own stickers on Sticker Mule. That is currently the extent of what we provide to local chapters.

Thank you for the information. When can we go ahead with creation of the repo?

hakutsuru commented 6 years ago

I should have time to do this by sometime tomorrow.

Once you accept the invitation as collaborator, please update the Readme and Code of Conduct with your chapter's information. You should also eventually add other collaborators with write/admin authority.

With abuse and harassment recently in the (North American) news, we hope every new chapter will embrace our mission to foster open and accepting communities -- please customize your Code of Conduct, and let us know if our default CoC be improved (or made more culturally aware).

Welcome aboard.
