The purpose of the group is no different than other GDO groups - promotion, awareness, transparency, etc. – for the Drupal.org community who are specifically interested in the annual event.
Of course, we can use the group to help promote this year's event. We've also begun organizing next year's event (and had discussions about 2018's location) so it's good to also have this new GDO group for those purposes. :)
