We’ve launched a new Volunteers Page with Dark theme support (3.0), plus some UI polish and documentation upgrades. The focus next month is IndiaFOSS, with major events like MangaloreFOSS, MumbaiFOSS, and ChennaiFOSS on the horizon. Check out the full event timeline here.

• Dark Theme Support: Dark mode is here! For now, it’s just the Volunteers page, but expect more dark-themed goodness soon.

• Chapter Mailing: We've had Events Mailing page to send campaign message to Participants and CFP proposers in https://fossunited.org/dashboard/event/<event_ID>/mailing pages. Now we have Chapter level (https://fossunited.org/dashboard/chapter/<NAME>/mailing) to mail and maintain email group for past participants who wish to get updates from organizers.

  Users can wish to opt-in or out via checkbox button given in RSVP form.

• CFP & Review System: CFP review process easier with filters, better formatting, and color-coded reviewer statuses.

• Event & RSVP Updates: We’ve made RSVP toggling more intuitive and grouped RSVP data into "Attending" and "Not attending" categories for better insights. Attendee can "Edit RSVP" and let organizers know whether they attend or not via button.

• Docs Overhaul: The docs have been revamped for easier navigation, better search, and a streamlined experience.

For more updates, please check out CHANGELOG in the repo or in documentation page.

You can catch up on Forklore updates here.
