New kgs study/league room: Open Study Room

Hi GO.ON !

It's been a long time since I posted here and I come with good news.

I thought you might be interested knowing I just created a new room on kgs : The openstudyroom

It's an online go community where people study, teach, learn and play go together in a friendly environment. Our league system encourage members to play long serious game with review afterward. We also host tsumego sessions and lectures.

It's a very young community but in less than a month, we had already more than 100 players registered.
We have a website with a forum, a league tool and a blog. We meet both in our discord channel  and in kgs room to talk about go and play league games

Since it's a very young community, lots of things are not fixed yet. We like to discuss OSR decisions in our forum since we believe being community driven is healthy.
We also welcome any kind of idea/suggestion/critics.

Also, the kgs league tools I have built are GNU GPL software with sources on github and even a how to deploy locally in 5 mins. This means in 5 mins you have blog+forum+CMS+league system running.

Feel free to use it for any go project you might have. It's still very much in alpha condition, but I am receiving quite some help coding. If you know some python take a look !

Oh, by the way, tomorow, the 18, we are having a special tsumego day !
At 09:00 GMT, we will have a 2 hour study of the firsts elementary tsumegos from Cho Chikun dictionnary (7k -15k) with lose2learn.

At 17:00 GMT, Markó Péter (EGF 4d) will be doing a lecture on tsumegos. The main topics will be: How to approach tsumegos,whats the difference between them,what kind of tsumegos you can encounter.

This events will take place in the Open Study Room on kgs, under social.
It's free for all to attend. Meet you there !

I think some of our events might be of some interest, so if that's ok, I will advertise our events answering this thread...
