1. The Aims listed on the Draft page are huge in terms of scope and<br>
would take more than one conference to achieve.</blockquote><div><br>Best aim for the stars. In any case, I wanted to start us off. I'm not really clear on what a 'proposal' should contain as of now. We should trim down the aims though. <br>

2. Would this be held only in Bangalore or would it be possible for<br>
local groups in different cities to hold their own 1/2/3 day events?</blockquote><div><br>I'm not sure if any of the other python groups in India are planning a conference, if so, I think we should talk with them to decide the venue. If not, we can (atleast this year) hold it in BAngalore somewhere. <br>

The "ProposalForPyConIndia" wiki page has a community discussion<br>
section with varying opinions. Before editing I wanted to clarify the<br>
following:<br>
<br>
0. Earlier discussions on this list gave an impression of the conf<br>
being open to all (read newbies) but this is not clear on this wiki<br>
page. Has that changed?</blockquote><div><br>I think it should not become a "Newbies only" thing. People who have been hacking python for a long time should have good reason to come as well as the newbie. <br> <br>

1. Please clarify/define "dedicated conference". (As in, is the pyconf<br>
open to people like me who "dont code for a living" and yet grok<br>
technical concepts?)</blockquote><div><br><b>Dedicated</b> meaning that we're not planing to be part of a larger event like <a href="http://foss.in">foss.in</a>. <b>Conference</b> meaning that we have a structure and some formality as opposed to barcamp. <br>

+1 for the low budget, sans swag concept but some clarity on what is<br>
the scope of the event, since its being held here for the first time,<br>
would be a lot nicer. The conf planning page was a nice read :) so<br>
how about a "volunteers" page ?</blockquote><div><br>Youre' right. We should try to keep the costs low. I however don't want to miss anything which we want and hence went for a rather over the board proposal (as you've noted). Let's work on trimming it down. <br>
