PyCon 2012 Possible Dates
September 1st/2nd week is a good time for PyCon. The Fri-Sat-Sun in September this year are on 31-Aug/1-2-Sept, 7-8-9 Sept, and 14-15-16. Any of these dates are possible. After that, the ICC T20 World cup starts from 18 Sept onwards, and Ganesh Chaturthi starts from 19 Sept onwards. On 3-5 Sept, there is a "Cube Conference" happening in Pune ( http://www.thecubeconf.com/). This is the first time Cube is happening is Pune, so I have no idea of what kind of audience it will draw, and how much. But since is it not happening on a weekend, we needn't worry about it too much. There don't appear to be any other major religious holidays. No major exams for students in Pune that we are aware of. At this point, let use tentatively say that PyCon 2012 will be around the weekend of 8-9 Sept. Please spend some time checking for possible clashes. We would like to freeze the dates soon.

Weekend of 8-9 sept might not work because of DjangoCon/September 3-9, 2012. Our potential keynote speaker may want to attend that. Here are the list of weekends. Sept 01-02: Possible Sept 08-09: No. DjangoCon Sept 15-16: Possible Sept 22-23: No. Ganesh Chaturdi Sept 29-30: No. Anant Chaturdashi Oct 06-07: Possible Since we are already running late, the weekend of October 06-07 might work well. What do you think? Anand

I would completely avoid any date 19th onwards. a) Pune gets into a festive mood, b) Allows students time to travel home etc. etc. Oct 07 is the T20 world cup finals. After that of course you have diwali etc. I would still think a conflict with a DjangoCon is a far better option than a conflict either with a) local traffic jams or b) Cricket. So lets focus on the first two dates above.
What do you think?

With the potential danger of opening a can of worms, are we still settled on Pune ? Definitely we had a great Pycon last year, but with the initiative now with folks in Bangalore, why not rethink this ? Especially I agree with Dhananjay that Pune would be in a festive mood from end of Sep to October due to Puja and various other reasons.

Too early. We are starting late so aiming for an earlier date than the usual could be fraught with risks.

PyCon dates: I agree with Dhananjay that any date after 19th Sept will not work in Pune. This includes dates in October because by that time colleges have exams, and it gets close to Diwali breaks etc. The possible dates are: Aug-31,Sept-1-2: Possible, but a little early (esp. since we are late) Sept-7-8-9: Possible, but clashes with DjangoCon Sept-14-15-16: Possible - no known clashes. (Pune local team had studied this date, and there are no local clashes that we are aware of). Can anyone think of a reason why 14-16 Sept are inappropriate? Regarding venue: We've had various discussions and looked at various alternatives but in the end, none of the alternatives have panned out, so I suggest that we repeat the same venue, except that we will have a better idea of the short-comings this time, and hence we should be able to do a slightly better job - especially of lining up an appropriate 3rd room.
With the potential danger of opening a can of worms, are we still settled on Pune ?
Here is a quick assessment of the situation: 1. I dropped the ball on this one. I took on the responsibility of Pycon and then had some personal issues because of which I could not drive this for a last couple of months. However, I am back, starting today, and will be able to give the time required from now on, until the conference. 2. Availability of others in Pune who can take on responsibilities: Dhananjay was also busy for the last couple of months. He has indicated that he will have less time this year to devote to Pycon organizational duties, but he will be available. Harshad Gune, who took care of co-ordination with all the people who matter at Symbiosis (from official permissions, to the caterer, to the staff who actually do the work) will be able to replay his role this year too. He normally isn't visible on mailing list discussions but gets the job done when it counts. Harshad Oak, who did a lot of the local logistics including signage, flex boards, volunteer co-ordination will also be available. (He is currently busy organizing his own conference in Delhi, but should be free when needed around Pycon time). With Ramki also returning as a general organizer, I think we have most of the original team returning; In addition we have a couple of new organizers also this time. In short: this past couple of months nothing happened, and I blame myself for that; but the team is more or less there, and if we are OK with repeating the venue, we can do this easily. On Sept 14-15-16.

Unfortunately, there is a problem with the Symbiosis venue. Some internal groups that have blocked the venue for the dates we're interested in. For the last week I was following up Symbiosis, because it appeared that the reservation was tentative and hence there was a chance that we could request the internal groups to withdraw their reservation in favor of Pycon. However, after a week of being told "maybe tomorrow" (and with time having run out), I'm forced to reach the conclusion that Symbiosis is not available; and given the date constraints, I have to conclude that Pune will not be able to hold a Pycon. (At least not in September) :-(

Why not look for other venues in Pune? Did you guys try Bhaskaracharya Pratishthan (BP) ? They are at law college road and they have conducted several opensource events in past. They have decent infra too. You can contact Mrs. Manjusha Joshi in BP to discuss the venue. regards Vivek -- The hidden harmony is better than the obvious!!

Bhaskarachaya Pratishthan, would not be able to handle the crowd (last year there were > 500 registered participants). Its okay for a mini event where there are about 100 - 150 people attending the event. regards -- Ramakrishna Reddy GPG Key ID:67E226F5 Fingerprint = BA51 9241 72B9 7DBD 1A9A E717 ABB2 9BAD 67E2 26F5

Too late. Why weren't these venues considered till now ? Why are all these discussions starting at the end of June 1st week for an event that was originally planned for September ? Why weren't active discussions held on this forum on alternatives and probables ? I dont want to turn the discussion into analysis of "should-haves" and "if-sos" so let us try to get on with this and end the Pune venue discussion right here and let this drag on for another month with no light at the end of it.

+1 for CoEP. I too was wondering why CoEP wasn't considered. They have pretty good capacity of 600+ in their main auditorium. Also 2nd auditorium can accommodate around 150+. (Just rough figures) I didn't see any mention of this venue on mailing list.

[...] I think it will be a little crippled regardless of where it's held since a lot of time has been lost. However, we can try to strip it down a little, make it a 2 day event, drop the swag and try to have attendee fees cover the food costs. We could coordinate with HasGeek for the A/V equipment. Sadly, it looks like a step backwards but I think it's important to not break the streak. We should still target it for September so that our general cycle doesn't get disrupted. I don't expect that we will be able to get a keynote speaker or to get good sponsorships so we should take this into consideration while planning. Finally, once the event is over, we should do some serious soul searching about the event and get things more concrete. -- Cordially, Noufal http://nibrahim.net.in

Since the team at Pune has spoken about the inability to conduct at the planned date/venue, this is a welcome alternative. Given the timelines we may not be able to hold a full-fledged event, but we can plan a limited edition in October in Bangalore upto 2 days. Let us start a fresh thread on this. This has become too long and old.

Yes, of course. Sep-Nov will be a maddeningly busy time for us. We have three big events less than a month apart each, so we'll be stretched to the max. However, we run with the support of a large volunteer crew and many of them will be around for PyCon. Our growing collection of equipment is also available. Kiran
Yes, of course.
Sep-Nov will be a maddeningly busy time for us. We have three big events less than a month apart each, so we'll be stretched to the max. However, we run with the support of a large volunteer crew and many of them will be around for PyCon. Our growing collection of equipment is also available.

Thanks Kiran. Hope we can stretch you a bit too. We probabaly need it more than usual this year

Hi All, Team Pune has been a great host and thanks for supporting thus far , we need to move on , in one of the threads from last year i have suggested why not let Hasgeek run the show . Now that it is in there Hometurf and they hae become pro in organizing most of the *cons in India.
