So we will\ncreate the channel and, please everyone, let us (Karthik, Patrick,\nKaartic and me) know if you want to be part of it.\n\n> > We are suggesting this because the GSoC docs\n> > (https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/oa-tips) have the\n> > following:\n\n[...]\n\n> I think it's nice to have a virtual introductory meeting with all of the\n> accepted GSoC contributors and mentors thus we could know each other\n> more.\n\nWe are also going to have such a call on Friday June 7th at 12:00 UTC\n(2 PM CEST, 5:30 PM IST, 8 AM EDT).
