Changes to Pycon India site
by Gora Mohanty May 23, 2013

Dear Vijay, Have moved to the inpycon list as agreed upon. So immediately I will work on the sponsors page. It will be based on http://in.pycon.org/2012/#sponsors and will have the four sections that you mentioned earlier. I will also ask our designer to take a look at improving the design, but that will take some more time. Do we have sponsor names/logos? Regards, Gora

Keynote speakers for PyCon India 2013
by Noufal Ibrahim May 20, 2013

May 20, 2013

Okay. We need to get this wrapped up. We are planning to have 2 speakers. The first one is Kiran. The second is undecided although there are some potential candidates. I'll let this thread grow for suggestions. This is the list so far. I've also included a brief bio/list of projects they're famous for. - Armin Ronacher - Flask, pocco projects. - Kenneth Reitz - Requests and other "for humans" alternatives to stdlib. - Alex Gaynor - PyPy and optimisation in general. - Steve Holden - PSF - Van Lindberg - PSF - Hilary Mason - bit.ly (we invited her last year but she had other engagements). In addition to this, we have one other invited speaker. - Joe Gibbs (of the lambda-py project). I don't want to this democratically (via voting) but it would be nice to have some discussion. We'll zero in on someone by the middle of next week and I'll invite them formally. Time is running short and we need to make a decision. I'm personally for inviting Hilary Mason. She's technically strong, active in the startup community and was a keynote speaker at PyCon in Atlanta. In addition to this, we tried to invite her last year and she was interested but couldn't because of a schedule conflict. Steve Holden and Van Lindberg can speak from a PSF/community perspective. The others are technically strong and from what I know, good speakers. -- Cordially, Noufal http://nibrahim.net.in
