Ladies and Gentlemen, We are planning to open registrations by the first week of May. According to the expenses, we have come up with the pricing tiers for tickets. Per head cost for the conference comes around to Rs. 1200. This includes breakfast, lunch, tea and snacks on both the days, plus a T-shirt. Pricing tiers: 1. Early Python : Rs. 1000 (150 tickets. No cancellation. Transferable) 2. Regular Python : Rs. 1200 3. Late Python : Rs. 1800 4. Student Python : Rs. 1000 5. On-the-spot Python : Rs. 2500 (For two days. One day tickets are harder to manage considering time and effort. We'll see if we can manage it and issue accordingly) 6. Workshop Python : Rs. 1500 (Per workshop. 30 people per workshop. We will be paying a handsome honorarium for the workshop instructors) Let us know your thoughts. Cheers! -- Haris Ibrahim K. V. http://sosaysharis.wordpress.com @harisibrahimkv

Kovid Goyal is the developer of Calibre <http://calibre-ebook.com/>, an immensely popular software among the ebook readers and writers. It might provide a different side of Python with an extensive capabilities and use-cases, one beyond web-development. I saw that he was mentioned last year too: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2014-May/008103.html Though I don't know him personally, we can reach him at: kovidgoyal(a)gmail.com One of his latest interviews: http://www.0s-1s.com/the-art-of-commerce-x -- Pratyush

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
