Why don't we have a panel discussion about Python in schools at PyCon
India? We can invite officials from education departments and discuss about
how to effectively use Python and what support can be provided from the
community. We can plan to write some books or create some material if
required.  After the panel discussion, we can have a BoF or an open space
discussing it in detail.

I think we have (or can raise) enough money to support travel
and accommodation of couple of officials from government.

What do you think?
