Kicking off PyCon India 2011 Preparations
Dear All, previously i had written to this mailing list saying that all the Engineering Colleges around had been in the middle of their exams and that we had little scope of progress in the last month and a half. The exams as of now are all over and all the colleges are back into a relaxed mood. Also, this is a good time to start off on work regarding the actual conference and hence this email, which is a a general call for volunteers to start work on PyCon India 2011. Our activities can be broadly classified into work at ground (setting up the venue getting wifi connectivity, arranging for food etc etc) and a set of related activities that can be performed on the internet/phone (sponsorship, website admins, speakers coordination etc) Following this email, two emails will be sent to this group calling for volunteers in each of these segments. we would encourage active participation from as many people as possible lets all join together and contribute to pycon india 2011.

Thanks for taking the lead on this Kaushik. It is about time we started off our preparations, so I am happy that the thinking has started. The Bangalore coordinators including myself can help out with the work "off the ground" such as Sponsorships, Talks co-ordination etc. I think we should get the website for Pycon 2011 in order as one of the initial tasks and send out call for talk proposals by March 2011. This gives us ample time to select and review the talks rather than doing a rush-hour job like I had to do last year cuz we were late with the CFP. Thanks, --Anand

In case it was not clear, I can take the lead/help out with the CFP this time also :)

[...] Branding before the website since the website is going to be the public face of the conference, all the logos, colours etc. should be consistent. Lesson from last year. --
