    - No formal distinction but we decide based on input from user community
* Ideas for tracks
  - Industry

  - Maybe a separate one for web frameworks

2.2 Stalls
----------
    - Sponsors will probably want stalls

-------------
    - We have to charge an entry fee to make it look 'decent'

2.4 CFP
--------
    - Open review process
    - Review committee

----------------------
    - Either Pycon software
    - Or what Kenneth used

   - IISc. (TATA memorial hall) - Approx 40k per day
