Video Management in PyCon India 2015
by vijay kumar April 17, 2015

April 17, 2015

Hi, Every year we face lots of hurdles with video management from finding the volunteers, getting them training sessions on handling the equipment, managing and setting up the equipment in the venue a day before conference and processing the video later to upload. It is strenuous for the video volunteers as well as they can't attend any sessions on their choice and have to be managing the video capturing all the three days. To ease the life of everyone we are discussing with a vendor who has done video management for Functional Programming and Agile India conferences. They charge around *40,000 a day* and its *1.2L for the entire conference including workshop* which is very much affordable. Here is the link for Agile India <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjY0eBQFZJI&list=PL9Z-JgiTsOYQjHFwf5maIjFXa…> for your reference. Please share your thoughts. Thanks, Vijay

Moving in.pycon.org to PSSI server
by Anand Chitipothu March 17, 2015

March 17, 2015

Hi, Currently I'm hosting in.pycon.org on my personal server. There was a plan to move in.pycon.org website to PSSI servers. I think I suggested that an year back, but never got a chance to finish that. In addition to the in.pycon.org website, I also host the mail server for in.pycon.org. I'm planning to work on it soon and here is the plan that I've in mind. * Setup mail server on new node. - Krace? * Setup http server on new node serving in.pycon.org and proxy all requests to current in.pycon.org IP address (see dig in.pycon.org for IP) - Krace? * Change the IP address of in.pycon.org to the new server[1] - Anand * Take static dump of 2011-2014 events and funnel [2]. - Anand * Setup the webserver to serve 2010-2014 pages from static dump. - Krace? Notes: [1] - in.pycon.org was setup a CNAME to pycon.anandology.com so that we can change IP without having to bug PSF folks. Feel free to change that if that is an issue. [2]: static dump of 2010 website is already taken. Please let me know if you see any issues or have any suggestions for improvements. Anand

Development Sprints
by Bibhas March 12, 2015

March 12, 2015

Hi, As someone pointed out earlier and I also think that we don't have enough activities at PyCon to engage newer developer. It's kind of just people coming to venue, sitting at the audis all day long and going home with some points that they might even forget in couple of days. I think a development sprint is a great way to get people started programming and contributing and networking. Like it's done in most PyCons, after the conf is over, they take 2-5 days and organize dev sprints that's open for everybody. I know we might not have budget for that many extra days, but we have a whole floor(if we go for NIMHANS again) lying unused for 3 whole days. We can throw in some tables, chairs, mattresses and it could make a great dev sprint spot. This will make the conference more engaging for the participants. It'd have been perfect if we could get an extra day and experiment for a year. But _if_ that's not possible, can we do it within the conf days? Thanks, Bibhas

Stickers for Python Express
by Anand Chitipothu Feb. 3, 2015

Feb. 3, 2015

Hi, We distributed python stickers last time at the python workshops done as part of Python Month. We would like to do the same this year. One of the issues last time was sending the stickers to speaker in time. We had couple of volunteers, but that didn't workout very well. I've spoken to Isaac of Sticky Stamp and they charge Rs. 6 per piece for 1000 and more. They are open to reduce the price slightly and ready to take care of drop shipping (sending the stickers to speakers directly). I think this is going to be very helpful as we plan to run Python Express though out the year. My plan is to send 200 stickers to each speaker so that he can use them for about 3 workshops. If we order 5000 stickers, that'll cost slightly less than Rs. 30,000. Please let me know if this look alright. Anand
