[Inpycon] tasks for the society

[Kenneth Gonsalves]

hi,

since the society is now formed, it is time to get moving. As the main aim of 
forming the society was to get a bank account, let us not get ambitious and 
just do the minimal required (of course if anyone has time and energy to 
spare, he can take the lead in doing bigger things ;-)). The things which come 
to my mind are:

1. fix date of formation - I suggest today 4th feb 2010. (the society is 
defacto formed and functioning - the registration just gives it de jure 
status)

2. We need web space to put up the basic documents, minutes of meetings, 
accounts etc. A wiki should be enough for the start - hosting? use python.org 
wiki? set up our own vps which can be used for all our work? We have money for 
this - only some one will have to front the cash until our bank account is 
ready. How about domain name?

3. We need to appoint a chartered accountant - here the treasurer should have 
the final word as he will be dealing with him. We need a person who has enough 
knowledge to advise on electronic modes of keeping accounts that are in 
accordance with law (we do not need the white ink generals from the 19th 
century).

4. I met the axis bank people - netbanking with joint account is feasible. 
Only thing is that a single mobile number has to be given for the PIN for 
third party transfers - since the treasurer has primary responsibility we will 
have to give his number

5. Once the web presence is in place of course we need to network with similar 
orgs around the world and enroll members. This can go on at the pace at which 
we are comfortable.

6. mailing list and IRC channel - do we continue with this list? or start a 
new one? IRC channel is essential especially for conducting meetings.

Well people, I never believed that it was possible to come so far in India 
without a single ego clash or a single walk out - maybe that is why the Python 
is called Nalla paambu (good snake) in Tamil. Congratulations, thanks and keep 
it up!
