"PSSI is closing from 7th Jul and will No longer be able to support finance management for Pycon" PSSI itself has not made any such official announcements as of now? From my talks with PSSI board members, I was under the impression that PSSI was looking at ways to manage thing with the GST laws and was in talks with Explara and other entities for the same. I had this conversation just couple of days ago. It would be easy to speculate and have heated discussion on this, please let's wait for PSSI to officially post on this matter.

Hi Mani. Do you have some kind of arrangement that you're working on to help with the financials? It might get hairy so it's best to plan ahead. Thanks.
