If I'm not wrong the talk was chosen as per the upvotes on the funnel. Which clearly shows the demand and supply model. We can try dedicated track for advance, in this way we might get advance topic proposal. On Tue, Oct 7, 2014 at 3:53 PM, vijay kumar <vnbang2003@gmail.com> wrote:
I'm not particular about the size of the event. If I could sacrifice attendance for talk quality, I'd do it.
The main complaint about PyCon India (since the maiden event) has been talk quality. We're aiming to be all things for all people and that doesn't work out. While I think Arvi's work with the program committee has been superb, the effect was limited because we *wanted* to dilute the quality of the talks to satisfy newbies.
-1 i don't agree
I think name one person in not correct , Program committee was not lead by Arvi for sure. I feel bad to see individual name coming like this more often. We can take offline if more explanation is needed.
If we try to be everything for everyone, we'll end up being nothing. If we announce that PyCon India is for experienced, serious Python developers and live upto the announcement, intermediate and even some beginner people will actually learn something new and improve themselves. Advanced people will have a forum to discuss real problems rather than an audience with 60% first timers.
My main concern is that there are more newbies than experienced folk. There are lots of outlets for newbies to learn things. Tutorials on the web, user group meetups, tutorials, classes, python express workshops etc. For advanced people though, there are almost no outlets. I'm in favour of making PyCon India a high quality event. Even by sacrificing number of talks and audience size. Quality over Quantity.
Do we really have so much advance talk submissions ?
I still think we should have two track beginners and intermediate/advances which solve the problems. In future once our advance talk submission increase we can rethink.
