The main complaint about PyCon India (since the maiden event) has been<br>
talk quality. We're aiming to be all things for all people and that<br>
doesn't work out. While I think Arvi's work with the program committee<br>
has been superb, the effect was limited because we *wanted* to dilute<br>
the quality of the talks to satisfy newbies.<br>

If we try to be everything for everyone, we'll end up being nothing. If<br>
we announce that PyCon India is for experienced, serious Python<br>
developers and live upto the announcement, intermediate and even some<br>
beginner people will actually learn something new and improve<br>
themselves. Advanced people will have a forum to discuss real problems<br>
rather than an audience with 60% first timers.<br>
<br>
My main concern is that there are more newbies than experienced<br>
folk. There are lots of outlets for newbies to learn things. Tutorials<br>
on the web, user group meetups, tutorials, classes, python express<br>
workshops etc. For advanced people though, there are almost no<br>
outlets. I'm in favour of making PyCon India a high quality event. Even<br>
by sacrificing number of talks and audience size. Quality over Quantity.<br>
