#RFCsWeLove

  • RFCs we love is a meetup for technical discussions around specifications and standards. It is inspired by the paperswelove community, but focuses on technical standards instead of research papers.

  • In the past we have met in (mostly) Bangalore and Kolkata, but these days we are fully online!
