-      Welcome to **The Virus Lounge**. We're a random group of people

+      Welcome to **The Virus Lounge**. We're a group of people who got
+      together in 2020, when we felt that there was not enough
+      spontaneous socialising on the internet.
+
+      Because of our shared interests in topics like **build systems**
+      and **monorepos** we started working on code together, in our
+      monorepo called the *depot*.
+
+      Feel free to explore the tech we have built so far, all our
+      systems are linked in the footer.
+
+      We mostly hang out on IRC. You can find us in [`#tvl`][tvl-irc]
+      on [hackint][], which is also reachable [via XMPP][hackint-xmpp]
+      at [`#tvl@irc.hackint.org`][tvl-xmpp] (sic!).
