Hi team, I Would like to volunteer for some work in Pycon. However, I am based out of gurgaon and relocating to bangalore in June so unfortunately I wont be able to attend the volunteers meet. Is there anyway I can still contribute? To summarize, I am technically good and work as a security researcher. However i do not mind doing non-technical work too. I am not sure what all kind of work is there, as I will be attending Pycon for the first time. Thank you. On 19 Apr 2015 16:46, "Kracekumar Ramaraju" <me@kracekumar.com> wrote:

Thanks. We will be calling out volunteers for specific tasks as time goes. The procedure for volunteering will be in the email and feel free to reply to that. Location shouldn't be a constraint to volunteer. On 19 Apr 2015 16:46, "Kracekumar Ramaraju" <me@kracekumar.com> wrote:

That's just a week away isn't it? Allow me to propose an alternative. I propose that a thread be started here mentioning the various tasks for which people are needed and then to gather volunteers for all them. i.e. assemble a "proto team" here on the mailing list. A lot of people other than the ones just in Bangalore can participate then. Once that gains some momentum (say one or two weeks), call a f2f meeting sometime in early to mid May to make things solid. I think the meeting will be more productive and useful. [...] -- Cordially, Noufal http://nibrahim.net.in

That's exactly what we want to do. We want to build momentum in the list and also in the ground. For example, Registration task is planned to commence in May, the lead volunteer, Haris will put more details on the list. The reason to have volunteer meet during meetup is to spread awareness about PyCon India and reaching out to potential volunteers. Also, having volunteer meet during meetup makes easier to find venue, co ordination etc ... We want to have this meeting as starting point and have more such meet often. As part of BangPypers meetup [1] dev sprint is planned for next month. This may be good place to experiment few ideas which aligns with agenda.

Minutes of meeting 25 people attended today's volunteer meet and we discussed on two key points which was shared earlier. 1. Dev sprint planning - Goal of the dev sprint to get all participants send patch to open source projects. - Venue capacity for dev sprint is 100 - 150. - Dev sprint is new in PyCon India, we need to understand participants exposure in Python and area of interest to work. - Significant amount of participants can be first timers, so having a mentor for project will help. - We need to come up with survey to capture the information about participants and potential mentors. - Similar to CFP, projects needs to submitted in prior and we will shortlist the projects. Idea behind this is to encourage participants to collaborate in advance. - Criteria behind selecting a project is simple, a proper README file, instruction to how to setup and contribute instructions. - We need to have committee for screening projects and follow up with mentors and answer participants query. - Call for volunteers for dev sprint planning team for ground volunteering and pre event planning. - Internet is quite unreliable, participants should be advised to carry their own internet dongle. - Reach to local user groups to conduct dev sprint as exposure to participants. - Participants for dev sprint will be charged nominal fee. - 6 volunteers have come forward to help dev sprint. - Action Item Sayan will open separate thread to discuss about dev sprint planning, feedback, volunteers, and other details. As this task requires long planning, there will be multiple emails. 2. CFP promotion - Tentative last day for CFP is May 31. - We have sent emails to various mailing list and previous year speakers. - We need to reach out to various startups, large companies, educational institutes and researchers to submit proposal. - We will come up with generic email text for forwarding inside the company. - Come up with single image/poster image which can be shared inside companies containing details about CFP. - Send reminder to mailing list and previous speakers once again about CFP. - Share official CFP details in social media like Twitter [1], Facebook [2]. - It is good to collect data about companies we reached out in separate form from various people. - Reach out to python related newsletters like PyCoders, Python Weekly etc ... - Post on various online networks like Reddit, Facebook technology groups etc .. - Contact python/programming related meetup groups moderators to share CFP details in their group like OpenStack, DevOps, Data Science etc ... - Action Items - We request interested individual to spread CFP and reach out to various meetups, organization and inside their company. - Vanitha will start separate thread to ask volunteer for come up email template and Image. Please add any points which I missed. Thanks for all volunteers for turning up and providing feedback.
