[Inpycon] mapping party at the PyCon India

[Kenneth Gonsalves]

you need to sign up at the web page - and the party has already started 
(unlike the fsck.in folks we do not save up our efforts until the conference) - 
I assume you would be visiting the venue once or twice at least - in which 
case you can do some mapping then. The mapping party will go on throughout the 
conference also. There will be a meet up and possibly a sprint - let us see 
how things go.
