devsprint at pycon

Namaste We have an air-conditioned conference hall with a capacity of seating 60 at our disposal during the conference. Would a three day devsprint be an appealing venture? Cheers -- Anuvrat Parashar <http://anuvrat.in> http://anuvrat.in

Re: [Inpycon] Query: Upcoming Python Workshop
by Noufal Ibrahim June 29, 2016

June 29, 2016

Hello Sajal, The September event in Delhi is more than just a workshop. It's a 3 day conference. The first day (23rd) is for workshops. These will be longer (2.5 hour) sessions with some time for hands on practice and limited one on one interaction. 24 and 25th are for talks which will last around 30 minutes and will be delivered from a stage to a larger audience. There will also be plenty of time to network with other python programmers and the community in general. That's the overall idea. To address your question specifically, there are multiple workshops proposed for the 23rd. The list is over here https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2016/proposals/?proposal_type=8#proposals (you might need an account to view this). They're just proposals now and we're still reviewing them to see which ones will actually be made available. Once that list is up, individual workshops will have their own pre requisites. e.g. https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2016/proposals/generators-inside-out~b2WPd/ is an advanced workshop that expects the audience to know python quite well before attending whereas https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2016/proposals/document-your-code-sphinx-workshop~… is a more introductory workshop without many pre requisites. Remember that these are proposals and not yet finalised. So, to answer your questions about pre requisites, it depends on which workshop you're looking at. You'll have to contact the proposer of the workshop to know all the details. As for the the tickets, I'm assuming they'll be up for sale once the workshops are finalised. I'm not sure when that will be. The list is CC'ed in this email so perhaps someone from it will reply. From the review calendar, it looks like they'll be available in late August.

Site URL problem
by Noufal Ibrahim June 27, 2016

June 27, 2016

Another URL that doesn't seem consistent with the layout https://in.pycon.org/cfp/ This lists the latest PyCon (2016) but also several of the 2015 ones which is confusing. Poster sessions, dev scripts can, I suppose, work with a CFP but it's not immediately clear that that's what they're for. Also, the statuses are different which makes it more confusing (2015 is schedule published but the rest are "proposal submission closed"). Also, the theme on this page is something different from 2015 and 2016 which is further confusing. I really think that the namespacing by year (as was done previously) is the most efficient way of organising this. There's no real value in seeing a page with all the CFPs that were ever raised. This is not the time to do any of this since the conference is fast approaching but I've tried to put it all down in https://github.com/pythonindia/junction/issues/453 so that it doesn't fall between the cracks.

PyCon India Update
by qua non June 25, 2016

June 25, 2016

Hello pythonistas, Pycon India is approaching and a very important date is nearby with closure of submission. I have a few request from the volunteers listed below. 1. Try to share the social posts as much as possible. It is tough to share everything, but maybe some extra effort on everyone's end might work wonders . 2. Read about the proposals[1]. Share the ones you like and also make sure to communicate with speakers over junction threads or social channels. Communication would help moderators/selection committee have a clear picture about the talk. 3. This is a community driven initiative. Please purchase a ticket[2] as soon as possible as it helps to support event expenses. 4. Students are requested to talk about Pycon to fellow mates and help spread the word. 5. Volunteers residing in Delhi stay connected to the telegram channel[3] as real time ground tasks that could not be posted on mailing list are discussed over there Thanks, Team PyCon India [1]: https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2016/proposals/ [2]: https://in.explara.com/e/pycon-india-2016 [3]: https://telegram.me/joinchat/B90LyQeUR7cCJ1o_45OToA
