PyConIndia 2016 date finalisation
Hey Folks, The next step if we are to stick to the schedule mentioned above; is date finalization for PyCon India. So we can book the venue in time. I personally would suggest we look for November 12, 13 cause of the weather, early October is still a bit warm in Delhi/NCR and then there are all these festivals rest of october. Looking forward for suggestions and if the date conflicts with exams in colleges etc Kind Regards on behalf of PyDelhi team Akkshay Arora
"Schedule mentioned above" is in reference to the mail sent to inpycon earlier and here is the doc in reference https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KsDeIx13Vm6rKfI1AYsxhZ0POK5_XlENO-43erSC... On Wed, Nov 18, 2015 at 8:21 PM, qua non <akshayaurora@gmail.com> wrote:

November 12, 13 will be too close to exams, I fear. At my university, IIT Kharagpur, the end semester exams starts in the third week and as far as I know it is pretty much the same at other IITs and NITs, BIT probably have its end sem in the first week of December and I guess for regional colleges the dates vary from state to state.

There will be clashing exam schedule with PyCon in my University also if its in Mid Nov. The best time will be withing the first 2 weeks of October (as PyCon 15 Bangalore was scheduled). I hope the talks and all the arrangement will be in AirConditioned environment, so there should not be too much of a problem with weather conditions. Hope you look forward to the suggestion as there are a large number of College student's participation. Soumyo Dey
ok, so conflicts with exams in most universities means, october first week fits. Weather is warm but still not hot. If there isn't a better suggestion I guess we should try for 1st, 2nd october.

Oct looks to have too many holiday and festival season. I suggest we can do it in September and if possible around September 23-25. This dates doesn't clashes with Colleges both state and IIT's.

Will that be monsoon time at Delhi ? How bad is it at Delhi during rains ? I would not want to be marooned in the city. How about towards end of November ? With winter around the corner, won't the climate be more pleasant then ? - rejy

September 23-25 is pretty safe in terms of monsoon, it's still a little warm, but not hot. November would definitely be more pleasent. Whatever date is finalized, We have been looking up for september 23-25 as a date to initiate the talks with Srifort. Here are the details We have gotten so far:: - Sri fort can only be booked 6 months in advance - Procedure of booking is to book online and prepare a draft for the amt to the physical office. They will then provide us with a list of NOC to get from various departments. - After we get the NOC's we have to contact their civil and electrical engineers offices to sort out all the details needed for our specific event like, Internet(have to choose external providers like MTNL or airtel or ...), extensions, power outlets, projectors...

- Sri fort can only be booked 6 months in advance
If Sri fort is the only option that we are counting on, and for some reason they say "no" when we approach them 6 months in advance, then we might not have enough advance notice time to book other venues. I believe certain venues need an advance notice of 10 - 12 months. I am sure you have considered other venues and are aware of this scenario that might happen, but just reminding. -- Haris Ibrahim K.

+1 for the idea. Aniket Maithani www.aniketmaithani.net
SriFort is not the only option, we are considering other places too like JNU and Epi-center in gurgaon. The details of this are mentioned on the other thread where the PyConIndia Proposal by PyDelhi team is being discussed. I am not posting all the venues and details in this thread as this thread is more about finalizing the date for the event :) On Tue, Nov 24, 2015 at 4:17 PM, Aniket Maithani <maithani.aniket@gmail.com> wrote:

We at Analytics Vidhya know someone who has a membership at IHC(Indian Habitat Center). We are checking if we can get some discount using his membership . If that happens, IHC can also be a good option. *Best Regards* *Pulkit Pahwa* *8130425877* On Tue, Nov 24, 2015 at 5:20 PM, qua non <akshayaurora@gmail.com> wrote:

Ok guys, Here is the gist of what has been discussed on this thread till now. October: mostly booked by holidays. November has too many institutes with their exams September 23-25 seems to be the only viable option. If any one has any objection to booking the dates of 23-25 or a better option, please don't hesitate to mention. On Wed, Nov 25, 2015 at 10:37 AM, Anuvrat Parashar <anuvrat@anuvrat.in> wrote:

ok, guys considering the only problem raised with the dates of 23-25 Sept till now has only been the weather. I think we can safely assume these dates to be final and reserve the venue. The event is indoors and like rain in Bangalore a little bit of warm weather won't really effect the event. The venue is air conditioned. We have already been using these dates as the ones when in talks with venue officials. Just clarifying that these are the final dates dates.

Are we again going to have the sprints on the first day (along with workshops)? I missed any discussion on that (sorry if it was already discussed). As we discussed last year during sprints, it will be really nice to have the sprints after the main event not before. There will be many more interested participants.
