Plans for PyCon India 2010
by Noufal Ibrahim April 16, 2010

April 16, 2010

Okay... I guess it's time to get cracking.. What are the plans? I believe the only thing we've settled on is the venue Chennai. We need the society and bank account and it's being registered/created. I spoke to some folks here and I think we can get some the luminaries to speak if we can cover air faire/accommodation. That's something we should worry about sponsor wise. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in

Status of registration
by Noufal Ibrahim April 1, 2010

April 1, 2010

Hello everyone, As far as I know, the society is not yet registered. We've been sending forms and signing things for quite a while now and the thing is still not done. Srikanth was at the bank today to try to open the account so that we could keep our promise to Janastu and get the money out of their accounts but there was some miscommunication from the branch in Ooty and it didn't go through. So, we've botched this. This is discouraging and I hope it's not a sign of things to come. The management of money was done for 2009 based on goodwill and Janastu's help was very rare and welcome. With this, I don't expect that kind of help anymore. I talked to Srikanth earlier today and he suggested that Janastu cut a DD in the name of the nascent society so that the money is out of their accounts. I'm going to send a mail separately to Dinesh about this. I'm not sure what else needs to be be done about the society, but it really needs to be expedited. The initial suggestion of holding the 2010 conf in September is no longer realistic and we have to shift it into November or December. Kenneth, I believe the the society papers are still with you. By when can you wrap this up? Let's get this business over with and start focussing on the real deal quicky. Thanks. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in

committee meeting
by Kenneth Gonsalves March 18, 2010

March 18, 2010

hi, we need to have a committee meeting to pass a resolution authorising President, secretary and treasurer to open and operate the bank account. How do we do this? I suggest putting the committee minutes book on the wiki, the notice of meeting there and the resolutions to be passed. Members can vote by adding their names there. In case of need the minutes book can be printed out and kept at the registered office. (the papers have gone to the registrar's office, and we can expect the registration any minute.) -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Associate NRC-FOSS http://certificate.nrcfoss.au-kbc.org.in

I was asked if we have tentative dates (which needs a venue I'd guess) for the Chennai event, as folks coming to India like to sync their schedules and book early. Can someone from Chennai pipe in with tentative date and venue suggestions please. Fwiw, Pycon has a policy of holding two pycon events at the same venue consecutively. This means that pycon 2011 will also be in Atlanta. 2012 and 2013 are CA and iirc, they will start the bidding process for 2014 and 2015 soon. Maybe we need to plan something along those lines or atleast discuss cities, how and where to hold future events. It might help if we asked various lug lists, so folks may pitch in ideas. -- || vid | http://svaksha.com ||

hi, I noticed that the archives of this list are not public - any reason for this? Even I cannot access them, because I do not have a password. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Associate NRC-FOSS http://certificate.nrcfoss.au-kbc.org.in

MOA Signatures
by Lakshman Prasad March 1, 2010

March 1, 2010

Hi, The MOA has now been sent to Hyderabad, to my address. I guess I will receive it today. Or tomorrow. There is an active python community in Hyderabad. As of now, I am the only person who has updated the wiki. Would you want me to sign the MOA and send; or would it be better to get many more people sign it, over a coffee at Barista? If you would rather have a few more people sign, I will email them today, so we can meet at Barista tomorrow. -- - Lp

Bank account for Python India
by Noufal Ibrahim March 1, 2010

March 1, 2010

Hello everyone, Kenneth had sent a mail earlier about opening a bank account for the society. I don't know if we need the whole society formed and incorporated before we do this but if not, it would be nice to start off right away. Here are the requirements as far as I can tell. - The account should have atleast two people who have complete power over it. We can't have the entire machinery depend on just a single person. - The two people mentioned above should be contactable and preferably in large cities. - The bank should have a major branch in most of the larger cities and definitely one in Bangalore - I think the latter point is important because most of the active members of the society are in Bangalore. If there are any other points that are relevant, please pitch in. After we're decided on the details, let's see how we can get this done. Thanks. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in
