Hi Everyone, Hope you all are doing well. I wanted to share a few updates from the past couple of weeks and seek your suggestions on some key points. - Conference & Workshop Tickets - So far, we have sold over 530 tickets. This includes all early bird tickets and 50% of regular & combo tickets. - We are planning to launch a contributor ticket by the end of this month, with a minimum amount of 5000 INR. - We'll plan to use this additional amount collected to offer travel grants within India. - DevSprint Tickets: - I would appreciate your suggestions/feedback on our current plan around the DevSprint tickets. - Ideally, DevSprint should be free for every conference attendee. However, due to logistical constraints, we've planned to charge a small amount of 100 INR to reserve a ticket for DevSprints. - Please advise if there are any objections or if there could be a better way to handle this. - Venue - Phenompeople is in the final stages of confirming the venue for DevSprints. - ISB has declined to host our workshops due to the unavailability of classrooms. - As a backup plan, we are considering IIIT-H for the workshops. - Keynotes - At the moment, we still have 4 confirmed keynote speakers. - Ee Durbin, who could potentially be our 5th keynote speaker as he had expressed his interest, is yet to confirm his participation. - If we do not have any luck finding additional keynote speakers in the next week or so, we will cease our search and stick with the 4/5 keynotes we already have. - Code of Conduct (CoC) - Some keynote speakers who we reached out to, have expressed concerns about the enforcement of CoC at PyCon India. - As a takeaway and to address these concerns, we're planning to put extra measures in place to ensure strong CoC implementation this year. - If anyone is willing to assist in this area, please feel free to reach out. For additional updates and notes regarding other workgroups, please refer to this link [0]. Best Regards Sanchit [0] - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ya4r54g3Ellm2_ALvvCZZReVKxSBw4Di8LKX8ilL...
