Suggestions for the Keynote Speaker
by Jaidev Deshpande May 8, 2017

May 8, 2017

Hi everyone, I'm starting this thread to ask for suggestions for the three (at least two) keynote speakers we need for PyCon India 2017. I have spoken to Peter Wang (https://www.continuum.io/people/peter-wang) about this and he has agreed in principle. He'll block his dates as soon as we send him a formal invitation. Have any of you spoken to anyone about being a keynote speaker? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

[X-post] [PythonExpress] Formation of committees around PythonExpress project
by vijay kumar May 6, 2017

May 6, 2017

Hi All, It's been a wonderful year for PythonExpress in terms of growth. We have taken a few initiatives to get sponsors and to reach out to schools. Hope we will be able to move things forward towards our goals. I think PythonExpress has reached to a stage where we have to have committees to meet the needs of the project. In my opinion, we should have the committees formed as below. Financial Committee: 1) Plan for budget and handle approvals on request basis. 2) Manage and maintain the requests in some shared document like google sheet or in the software itself (yet to be designed). Coordinators: 1) Request for tutors if no tutor has taken up a workshop request. 2) Coordinate between tutor and college for the workshop prerequisites and other things as necessary. 3) Help clarify queries from colleges and tutors. Software committee: 1) Wye software development to add new features and enhancements and to resolve issues if any. 2) Maintain the github repo. Technical Content Writing committee: 1) Contribute and maintain the workshop contents for different workshops for different levels (for schools an colleges - beginners, intermediate and advanced) Web Content Writing Committee: 1) Help write blogs. 2) Fine tune the content on website and help with social media publishing as necessary. Let me know your thoughts on the same. Also, requesting interested people to fill the form [0] and let us know how you can help PythonExpress.

PythonExpress for school students
by vijay kumar May 5, 2017

May 5, 2017

Hi All, During PyCon India 2016 open space, we discussed about conducting workshops for school students. Teaching school students might be a bit challenging as they have minimal knowledge on programming. Real time and visual results will excite them to learn programming language and try things on their own. We can conduct python workshops with the help of low cost single board computers like Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ExpEYES or something similar to it which will be helpful in teaching and also make the students understand. Since the cost of these single board computers are less, its affordable for students to buy on their own to pursue it further. I would request everyone to share your thoughts on the same and help in building the workshop topics and content for school students. Thanks, Vijay

PyCon India 2017 dates & venue suggestion
by Sanyam Khurana April 10, 2017

April 10, 2017

Hi folks, We're currently considering IIM Lucknow (Nodia Campus) as event host for PyCon India 2017. We will be holding PyDelhi Conf in the same venue to test it out and to see if we face any major issues. We still have JNU as a backup option. If some one has a better option and can help us in getting that venue, please do let us know. We are looking for input on the dates to book the venue for. October 27, 28, 29 looks like a good option. Please let us know if you have any suggestions/issues with the dates proposed. Sanyam (On behalf of Team PyCon India) -- Mozilla Rep http://www.SanyamKhurana.com Github: CuriousLearner

Financial support for PythonExpress Project
by vijay kumar April 10, 2017

April 10, 2017

Hi All, We had a discussion earlier about getting sponsors for PythonExpress ( http://blog.pythonexpress.in/posts/support-request/) as some colleges cannot afford to support the financial needs of the workshops like tutor's travel and accommodation. We did not see any progress in getting sponsors. Request everyone to spread the word and help PythonExpress get financial support. Though PSSI has agreed to reimburse tutor's travel and accommodation, we would require fund to take care of the below items. 1. Certificates to participants as workshops in colleges come with that expectation. 2. A token of appreciation in some form to the tutor for their excellent job without expecting anything in return. Apart from getting sponsors, we can consider below options. 1. Request college to share the cost, but not all colleges would be able to provide the support in this front. 2. Request student participants to pay a nominal fee. 3. Get crowd funding. 4. Reach out to PSSI for financial grant apart from the current reimbursement policy. 5. Reach out to PSF if PSSI could not provide financial support continuously. Looking for suggestions. -- Thanks, Vijay
