Hi folks, I have completed my work on the CFP. Please take a look at the page. http://in.pycon.org/2010/cfp I have added a mini FAQ to go along with it. http://in.pycon.org/2010/cfp/faq (Anand C - Markdown numbered lists had a problem again with paragraphs, so I had to be creative with numbering here. Otherwise, everything was showing up as 1. Please don't change it) I have put today's date because we can open this up by today evening and announce to the world via blogs and tweets and status messages. Please take a look at it and come back with urgent corrections etc if any by 5.00 pm. Otherwise, if this looks fine, I am going to open it up by announcing it on the pycon blog and on twitter by 5 pm. Thanks for everyone who helped, especially Anand C, Noufal and Kenneth. Regards, -- --Anand
Anand C - can you change the "None of the above" in the submit form under "Select a topic" to "Others" ? I tried editing it via http://in.pycon.org/2010/talks/submit?m=edit but was getting the same page back. Thanks --Anand On Sat, Jun 12, 2010 at 2:48 PM, Anand Balachandran Pillai < abpillai@gmail.com> wrote:

Given the fact that we have tags, I think we can drop the "topic" field altogether. Why force classification? What value does it give us? Also, the list is huge. It's annoying to read through it and shoe horn my talk into one of those categories. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in

Good work Anand! A couple of things you'll need to do on the site when you make this live. 1. Put the calendar on the front page. We have a "dates" heading there with no dates below that. You can put up the dates from the CFP there along with a 25/26 September : Days of the conf. 2. Link to the CFP from the front page. Apart from that, we're good to go. I emphasise again, we *need* to publicise this. The number of good papers that come in is directly proportional to how much we publicise. If the publicity is limited, the talks will be limited and we'll get the conference that we deserve. For everyone who felt that last years conference had bad talks, this is the time to put your money where your mouth is! :) Thanks -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in
Almost forgot. Please mail back to the list when you announce so that we can start the publicity. On Sat, Jun 12, 2010 at 8:20 PM, Noufal Ibrahim <noufal@gmail.com> wrote:

Here are some I can think of - Blogs (your own or any other tech. blogs you're a member of) - Twitter/identica - Mailing lists you're part of (FOSS/Python ones) - IF there are any people here on planet Python (I know Baiju is), then it would have more visibility if they posted. - Word of mouth.

I've posted the announcement to the Bangalore, Chennai and Kerala Python lists. I'm not on any of the lug lists. If someone here is, please post a note to them as well. I'm not sure if we're publicising this sufficiently. If this bombs, that's the end of the conference. Thanks.

Did you post in BangPypers ? We tend to assume both lists have same numbers but that isn't true.

Some changes we can use. After submission, please provide a "Back" button which takes back to CFP page. Currently it just seems to go to thin air.
