Keynote speaker confirmed
Good news everyone! I've been in touch with Raymond Hettinger[1] and he's agreed to come down for the conference as our keynote speaker. Raymond is a core contributor to Python, author of tons of awesome recipes on Active State recipes, author of the itertools module and lots of other niceties. We need to discuss details like payment etc. and one person in Pune needs to make sure of things like accomodation and transport. I'll open a private mail thread with Sree and the others involved in the financial stuff to discuss those aspects.

[...] Unfortunately, no. I've been mailing him regularly but I think he's busy. I'll try a few more times and then if that fails, think of something else. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in If I could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive! -- Samuel Goldwyn

Is Raymond Hettinger confirmed for Pycon. When I publicize Pycon on PuneTech.com, local mailing lists and colleges in Pune, is it OK to mention that Raymond H is the keynote speaker, or should I hold off on that?

[...] It's confirmed. He has some travel plans just after the conference so is trying to get an itinerary that will work smoothyl. That's the only reason for the delay. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in I'll give you a definite maybe. -Samuel Goldwyn
