Tentative plan will be (19-21)/(26-28) of September 2014 depending on availability. With Thanks Vijay

PyCon India 2014 Guest speakers
by Anand Chitipothu Oct. 19, 2013

Oct. 19, 2013

Hi, I'm in San Francisco now and met Senthil Kumaran today for dinner. Senthil used to be an active member of Python community in Bangalore, he volunteered for the first PyCon India. He is a core contributor to CPython and currently working for Twitter. I've discussed with him about how he can participate actively in PyCon India and Indian Python community in general. Couple of things that came up are: * Giving a talk at PyCon India 2014. May be we can invite him as a guest speaker and see if Twitter can sponsor his travel. * Being part of the talk selection committee. * Doing online talks once in a while (like Noufal is doing now) I think it'll be wonderful to have Senthil as speaker at PyCon India 2014 and I feel we should invite him as a guest speaker. What do you guys think? -- Anand http://anandology.com/
