[PageOneX] [dev] PageOneX for RGSoC?

[pablo rey]

Hi Rachee and Emaad,

It sounds great. we'd love to have you on board for the summer developing
one of the tasks.
Which steps should we follow? It looks like the deadline is June 7th, so we
don't have much time.

Where are you and the coach based? which rails projects have you been
involved with?

best,
p
