[lugm.org] Raspberry Pi Party with JCI

[Ish Sookun]

Your suggestion is benevolent Irshaad & it requires a proper structure &
good funding. We can't engage into bigger Pi projects until we have proved
through smaller ones. The collaboration with JCI City Plus is one such
example. Demo of RPi during Corsair Hackers Reboot is another example.

Once we have several such references, we can go for sponsorship & grants.
We also need to write-up project plans. If any LUGM member can volunteer
with such stuffs, it'll great start already.

Cheers!
