Here's my general idea.<br>
<br>
1. Identify general areas which need to be worked on (e.g. sponsorships,<br>
talk selection etc.)<br>
<br></blockquote><div>>> It all depends on volunteer support , that what we have been working on.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
3. Discuss *on the list* to find people who can lead these areas. That's<br>
something that will have to be done on the list. If a "leader" is<br>
already well known and has a track record, he or she can work mostly<br>
independently. Otherwise, there will have to be some amount of<br>
oversight and guidance.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>>> I think we shouldn't choose leader here. Volunteer who is active for that year automatically become leader. This has worked successfully last year i would request to continue same.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
4. Let these people be in charge of their areas and let them do their<br>
work without interference or policing. You and the other people<br>
involved at the top level can do mostly oversight and coordinating<br>
between teams. This scales much better and gives an opportunity for<br>
new people to get involved.<br></blockquote><div>>> That's the plan we follow, but when thing goes beyond certain level we take over and proceed as show needs to run irrespective of individual or team issues.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br><br>As the conference grows, I think we should decentralise more. That's the<br>
only way it'll sustain.<br><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"></div></div></blockquote></div><div class="gmail_signature"><div>>> It already in-place except few areas which we have identified and working on improvement on those.</div><div> We are already group of 50 active volunteer last year. Hope to see old and new volunteer come together and take PyCon India to next level.</div><div><br></div><div>Let focus on getting more panelist as talks are critical section of Conference.</div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div></div>
