Thanks for your reply.

Chandra, Ghanshyam also agreed privately to have such a Slack channel with all the mentors, contributors and everyone else who would be interested in discussing or just watching what happens. So we will create the channel and, please everyone, let us (Karthik, Patrick, Kaartic and me) know if you want to be part of it.
