+1. I had volunteered for this right from the start and this is something I am looking forward to.
Excellent. :)
We need to draft a CFP document and publish it in the mailing list as well as email it out to a list of interested presenters. We could use the email addresses collected from last year for this.
Hmmm. I personally wouldn't mind receiving such an email but I'm sure there are lots of privacy nazis out there who'll get their knickers in a twist if they receive such an email. However, the general idea of publicising the CFP is a good one and it should be a post on the main PyCon website as well as the conferences@python.org mailing list.
I will create a very basic CFP draft and send it to you the week-end. We can thrash it out in the mailing list and develop it over the next week. It would be useful to have an idea of the specific tracks (if any) so that the CFP is not very vague.
Hmmm. * We should have a dedicated "beginners" track that the hardcore snakes can avoid. This is similar to the tutorial track we had last year although not a marathon thing. * If Prabhu and Asokan are okay with our proposal, we'll have an engineering/scientific track * Then the "actual" tracks where we're having the real meat of the conference. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in
