Hello everyone, I think it's past time we made a decision about what to do. There have been a few emails about a lack of response and other such matters and things need to be sorted out. Unless there are atleast 2 or 3 people willing to take the lead, the conference is not going to happen. Volunteers for the ground work and other such details are present and can be mobilised but there's no one at the helm. This needs to be fixed. If some of the people here who've worked on the conference have the time and inclination to get into the drivers seat, please chime in. Then, we can get the whole show back on the road. We can discuss details about how large the conference should be and other details on the list but the first thing to decide is who should take the lead. Please reply to this thread and let's see where we can take this. Thanks -- Cordially, Noufal http://nibrahim.net.in

The Python community from all around India has voiced on this mailing list, that they would still like to see PyCon India happen this year. Satyakaam, Rajat Saini, Sanyam Khurana, Jaidev Deshpande, Shahank Kumar, Piyush Aggarwal, Akash Misra(to name just a few) from last years organizing team have all personally voiced to me that they would like to help out as much as possible remotely in this regard. Not to mention the numerous of volunteers who already voiced here on the mailing list that they would like to help out. I along with the rest of them would like to raise our hands and offer our assistance. One of the basic understandings that we worked with last time was that even though there is one person who is named as chair, it's mostly the organizing committee that makes the decision by consensus among them based on inputs from the community and feasibility. *From the suggestions I got from personally talking to people it was suggested we start from scratch re discussing the following questions with input from community. * 1) Guidelines that make sure a enforceable code and conduct for:: - Communication e-mail or otherwise - On code/issues on github - Every-one to be treated equally, noobs or veterans 2) Make sure we have a strong local community that is ready and willing to do the ground work. 3) Revise the Conference scale, venue and sponsorship details based on time and budget allocation. 3) Discuss on roles and a start up with a reverse timeline for the conference along with responsibilities. 4) Conference structure: Some one suggested to look at euro python as a structure, maybe we could look at other conferences and incorporate some good feasible parts into this years PyCon. 5) Communication medium, irc or Telegram or mailing list or Matrix....

Glad that your yours are interesting to take a big role. While it is mostly team work, there will case where someone has to make a hard decisions, IMHO.
From the suggestions I got from personally talking to people it was suggested we start from scratch re discussing the following questions with input from community.
1) Guidelines that make sure a enforceable code and conduct for:: - Communication e-mail or otherwise - On code/issues on github - Every-one to be treated equally, noobs or veterans
2) Make sure we have a strong local community that is ready and willing to do the ground work.
I think there is still lot of interest from local community to volunteer. IMO it'll pick up when things start moving.
3) Revise the Conference scale, venue and sponsorship details based on time and budget allocation.
Agree. Why don't you start a thread on it to kick start discussion on that front?
3) Discuss on roles and a start up with a reverse timeline for the conference along with responsibilities.
4) Conference structure: Some one suggested to look at euro python as a structure, maybe we could look at other conferences and incorporate some good feasible parts into this years PyCon.
One of the issues with PyCon India has been that we end of reassembling every year. What I liked about EuroPython is that they have workgroups for talk selections, sponsorships etc. and each of them work fairly independently (as understood) and the same team continues for the next year even if the conference moves to a new country. I think it is important for us to have such teams and also make sure that it has participation from all the major cities in India.
5) Communication medium, irc or Telegram or mailing list or Matrix....
Anything works, but it is important to keep this mailing list in the loop for all important decisions and announcements.
I think we should start individual threads to discuss all this, get these threads sorted asap and start with the organising efforts for PyCon India.
P.S. PyCon India is a community driven event, it is for and by the community. The community spans all across "India". This would involve collaboration from Python Communities all around India. Even from python communities across the world.
I think we are already pretty late. Please start email threads for all important discussions ASAP. Anand

This is heartening to hear. Is there someone who can take a leadership role? It's quite obvious to me that there are volunteers who want to pitch in but someone needs to be in the drivers seat. It's not that this leader is some kind of powerful king but nothing really takes place unless someone pushes things forward and steers the whole affair.

I doubt anybody is willing to volunteer for the job, or they would have done it by now. I suggest that we all nominate someone, the only requirement being that the nominee be based in Bangalore. I would not set a criterion based on the experience or the seniority of the nominee. At this stage, it would suffice if someone can be nominated simply as the single point of contact, and the overall responsibility will be shared among all organizing teams anyway. If this sounds good, please go ahead and nominate someone you know who is based in Bangalore and who has been somewhat active in the community. Thanks,

In the interests of transparency and having proper archives, I think it's better to do it here. A conf. call means that only some people can participate and it won't be on the record.

+1, for Noufal's idea. As we have less amount of time with us to get ready with PyCon India. Let's, call every senior member who is associated with PyCon from past years. And also call all the local volunteers for this who eagerly waiting to volunteer for PyCon. So, that soon we are ready with a good team. Last year I have contributed in website affairs and volunteered in all design affairs. This time also I can help with that. But before that we need a bunch of senior guys who can push us to make this event successful. -- Regards, Rajat Saini LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajataaron/> | Github <https://github.com/rajataaron> | Website <http://www.rajatsaini.com>

Agree with this. we can start with handful of people taking charge of different large sections of the conf, and then go to deciding a chair if it's at all needed. I can think of few large roles that are as less coupled with each other as possible - 0. Ticketing - Decide ticket price, get ticket sale up and running. Stay in touch with other teams(editorial, venue, accounts) to manage pricing and inventory. 1. Sponsorship - we need a dedicated team here, people who have had experience with sponsors are preferred because as I've learned from my previous experience and how Vijay has shown, it's not an easy matter to deal with sponsors. 2. Venue - as we've already booked a venue, we need someone to get the line of connection with them back up, and then keep in touch with them throughout the event to keep track of deliverable and make sure things are in place. 3. Editorial - get CFP up and running and decide on talks. We need a team here who has had experience in judging proposals and dealing with speakers, and if we have speakers from out of town, keep track of what they need. This includes keynote speakers as well. This team has a lot of work in ensuring a good conference. 4. Volunteer management - We need someone who's had experience dealing with groups of volunteers. This group will make sure we have enough volunteers for each group 5. Accounts - Shree can probably help here and suggest how to handle the funds 6. Tech - Website, Social media. These are the easier moving parts, but we'll need people who are good at writing and content for these roles 7. Internet - We need a team here to talk to ISPs, figure out connections at the venue, check inventory and buy things if needed 8. Food - We need a team to find out food vendor, figure out pricing and go food tasting before the event and make sure people are well fed Some additional things I can think of - 9. Childcare - it's good to have a childcare available so that parents can also visit without worry. 10. COC - we need couple of dedicated people to enforce the code of conduct and handle disputes if any arises. This team can intersect with any other team. 11. Photographer - We need photographs of the events. Of course attendees are encouraged to click photos themselves and share. But it'll be nice to have a dedicated photographer if fund allows. These items are not sorted according to priority or importance. Each section is equally important in ensuring a good conference. So we need people who are dedicated and can spare time. This will take up a lot of your time. And if you're chipping in, you need to be ready to see if through the end. We can also work on a conference guideline to make sure things get done properly. Something like the one TEDx has - https://www.ted.com/participate/organize-a-local-tedx-event/before-you-start... We can modify it and come up with a set of guidelines that works for us. And I would like to personally request all the community members who have been supporting PyCon India for years, and have drifted apart for personal or otherwise reasons, to try and come back and help organize this conference. I'd like to see an even focused on quality, and not quantity. And I'd also like to reach out to all the local Python user groups in India to come and help. For most ground works, we'll need people who stay around Bangalore. But volunteers from other cities are always welcome to help any way they can. My few opinions. Please add, comment and correct.
Please reply to this thread and let's see where we can take this.
Thanks

Hello everyone, I think it's past time we made a decision about what to do. There have been a few emails about a lack of response and other such matters and things need to be sorted out.
Unless there are atleast 2 or 3 people willing to take the lead, the conference is not going to happen. Volunteers for the ground work and other such details are present and can be mobilised but there's no one at the helm. This needs to be fixed. If some of the people here who've worked on the conference have the time and inclination to get into the drivers seat, please chime in. Then, we can get the whole show back on the road.
We can discuss details about how large the conference should be and other details on the list but the first thing to decide is who should take the lead.

IMO, before we proceed, we should address the queries and concerns raised earlier [0]. Just moving on without actually fixing the root cause is going to pull everything back again in future and bring the volunteers who take their personal time to work for community down. Note: Not answering questions break trust in the community and request people not to consider any query as silly and ignore. It is just my suggestion. I leave it to the community to decide when and how they want to proceed. [0]: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2018-January/011751.html
