Hello everyone, Every year at AGM of PSSI we decide where to host PyCon India for next year. It been 3 consecutive years we are doing in Bangalore. Running PyCon India is very big effort, interested local group should do some homework and convince the community that they can run the conference effectively. Here is what you can do now. * Call for a meeting in your city, preferably in the python usergroup mailing list and discuss with everyone. * PyCon India requires a venue of 1200+ capacity. Find out what venues are available in your city and how much it costs. (This year we are paying close to 2L/day for NIMHANS). * PyCon India requires a lot of sponsorships to meet the expenditure. Major part of the sponsorships usually comes from the hosting city. Show the community that you can raise sponsorships by getting at least a couple of sponsorships from your city for this year's PyCon India. * PyCon India gets better every year. We would like that to continue even after it moves to a different city. You should get involved in running the event this year and understand the details, so that you don't have to reinvent them again. Interested?
Requesting local user group to come forward to host PyCon India in different city next year. On Sun, Apr 26, 2015 at 8:36 PM, vijay kumar <vnbang2003@gmail.com> wrote:

It's a huge undertaking and work like assembling a crew of volunteers, scouting for a venue etc. should probably start right away. -- Cordially, Noufal http://nibrahim.net.in

Hey Fasih I don't want to demoralize you or something but I have seen NCR-Python group quite closely in terms of it's growth and interaction. And nobody will be as happy as me if Pycon would be held in New Delhi. Already @Satya aka Satyaakam and I had a conversation regarding the same. And there are few points I want to re-iterate here : 1. How many Pycon(s) have you attended so far? 2. Assuming the number to be 1 or more than 1 I would also like to throw another question : Have you seen the "backend" workflow of the entire event? which include setting up of network/volunteer management etc. 3. How many mailing list thread have you checked upon the same or have posted your query related to volunteering? 4. Since before pitching for Pycon 2016 will require immense task such as organising regular meet-ups in the community or hackathons. Will you be able to take this task? as most of the time the meet-ups gets delayed due to lack of interest and interaction. 5. Are you sure about the fact that "WE" (assuming help from other volunteers/interested folks) would be able incite the companies to fund such an event? According to me firstly we should try to provide Funding/Volunteers support for Pycon Bengaluru this year so that it would be much like proving our "mettle". Satyakaam and I are already thinking in the same direction. I think we should also take this mail thread to NCR-Python Group mailing list for the same.
