Last year was definitely amazing, and I'd love to be involved to make that happen again. I'd be very happy to help out organizing stuff on the day if we still need volunteers for that. Alternatively, I could also help with the proposal for the event. I'm afraid I've been a little slow on my response this year. What's the status with that? Do you need someone to make a first draft or are we past that already? Thanks for taking the initiative here!
