Re: [Printing-architecture] OpenPrinting Micro-Conference on Linux Plumbers 2022

Now I got more answers on Telegram, we can expect virtual participation 
by the following people and everyone is comfortable with any of the 3 
conference days during Dublin's afternoon:

- Deepak Patankar
- Gaurav Guleria
- Mohit
- Rishabh Maheshwari
- Sahil Kumar
- Chandresh
- Shivam Mishra

So nearly our full contributor team of GSoC 2022 will attend.

Please register at Linux Plumbers for virtual/online participation, 
should be free of charge. Only if you still consider in-person 
participation do not register yet.
