PyCon India 2016
by vijay kumar May 22, 2015

May 22, 2015

Hello everyone, Every year at AGM of PSSI we decide where to host PyCon India for next year. It been 3 consecutive years we are doing in Bangalore. Running PyCon India is very big effort, interested local group should do some homework and convince the community that they can run the conference effectively. Here is what you can do now. * Call for a meeting in your city, preferably in the python usergroup mailing list and discuss with everyone. * PyCon India requires a venue of 1200+ capacity. Find out what venues are available in your city and how much it costs. (This year we are paying close to 2L/day for NIMHANS). * PyCon India requires a lot of sponsorships to meet the expenditure. Major part of the sponsorships usually comes from the hosting city. Show the community that you can raise sponsorships by getting at least a couple of sponsorships from your city for this year's PyCon India. * PyCon India gets better every year. We would like that to continue even after it moves to a different city. You should get involved in running the event this year and understand the details, so that you don't have to reinvent them again. Interested?

The idea behind having keynote speaker as lady is diversity. > What i meant with above line was It would be great to have them here in InPyCon as keynote speaker and hear their experience which will encourage a lot of female developers in India and also their inputs on solving the diversity issues what we face will help us a lot. Am sorry to make it sound the other way.

Volunteers to design a Poster for CFP
by Vanitha Shanmugam May 3, 2015

May 3, 2015

Hi, As we have got limited number of proposal submissions so far, we need to spread the word on CFP in many organisations and also in many social media websites and newsletters. We have to design an email template for organisations which would be more appealing for them than just the text email. Email template is basically an image with PyCon India logo and CFP details (mentioned below) similar to our last year PyCon India poster ( https://in.pycon.org/2014/PyCon-2014-Poster-Aligned.png). *Requesting volunteers to help us in designing the template. It would be great if we can get this by this weekend (3rd May 2015) as we have very less time left for CFP.* Please do let us know if anyone has any other suggestion to increase the submissions. CFP Details : Closing Date : May 31st 2015. Proposal Submission Link : https://in.pycon.org/cfp/pycon-india-2015/proposals/ Thanks, PyCon India Team
