In any case, we've gone by the "everything for everyone" approach for 5 years now. I'm saying, let's try the other route and see if it works better. If yes, we'll stick to it, if no, we'll come back to the current approach. No gain without experiment.
I'm strident about this because apart from the talk quality, everything is good at the conference. This is the only thing I've heard big complaints about and this, in my opinion, is the way to fix it.
I'm not intransingent about this and am perfectly amenable to being argued out of it. I'd just like discussion. I think there must be atleast a few people who agree with my point of view.
if we get more advance talk submissions we can think about it.
This year we just got 2 advance talk and we had selected both of them. We had discussed with all sponsors to request tech lead/Architect of their organisations to submit advance talk during PyCon India. Hope this will work If any other idea please share.
