Immediate Outreach

Over this weekend, we'll do the following to reach out to the broader audience:

[x] @jinalfoflia to schedule some tweets from the official Twitter account.
[ ] @geohacker, @planemad, @Tejas, @jinalfoflia and everyone else to share the details about the conference to their personal contacts and folks who might be interested in being a part of the conference
[ ] Share email with all the details to the university contacts who would benefit from attending the conference

It'll be great if everyone could list out the contacts folks are reaching out to.

I'll soon post the detailed plan for us to work post I'm back from the trip.
