Gentlemen! I bring glad tidings. Sree and I spoke to the principal at
MSRIT today and we've formally booked the venue. They're going to send
us a formal letter in a day or two. So, we have a venue. Time to

Hello everyone,
   Now that we have a venue, would it be wise to open up the CFPs?

   We need time and sufficient proposals if we're to improve the
quality this time and so, the earlier the better.

   I feel that we should open up and publicise the CFP right away.

   Registration can come a little later (Say late July or so).

   What do you feel?

Thanks.

I think we should first form a team of reviewers.

Agreed. The more the merrier. I had mailed a couple of the core devs
about this and they can offer *some* time. We need a good team here as
well. I can pitch in. The more people there are, the easier it will be
for all of us.

Who else is willing?

No problem. It was mostly ceremonial. Handshakes and all that.

A little bit of of trivia. The Principal of the college Dr.
Rajanikanth is a Python fan himself. He says that he used it 7 or 8
years ago which makes him a veteran of sorts. His son's project was in
Python as well. Nice place to be. :)

+1. I had volunteered for this right from the start and this is something
I am looking forward to.

We need to draft a CFP document and publish it in the mailing list as well
as email it out to a list of interested presenters. We could use the email
addresses collected from last year for this.

I will create a very basic CFP draft and send it to you the week-end.
 We can thrash it out in the mailing list and develop it over the next
week. It would be useful to have an idea of the specific tracks (if any)
so that the CFP is not very vague.

Hmmm. I personally wouldn't mind receiving such an email but I'm sure
there are lots of privacy
nazis out there who'll get their knickers in a twist if they receive
such an email.

However, the general idea of publicising the CFP is a good one and it
should be a post
on the main PyCon website as well as the conferences at python.org mailing list.

Hmmm.
 * We should have a dedicated "beginners" track that the hardcore
snakes can avoid. This is similar to the tutorial track we had last
year although not a marathon thing.
 * If Prabhu and Asokan are okay with our proposal, we'll have an
engineering/scientific track
 * Then the "actual" tracks where we're having the real meat of the conference.

You should go ahead and make an account on the site right away and use
it while drafting your proposal. We'd have revision control and
ability to edit directly then.

the privacy nazi's have opted for privacy - no harm in sending a mail to the 
rest of them who have agreed to receive a mail even from the sponsors. You 
should be having a copy of the list of the non-privacy guys

Yup. I think I do.

Anyway, I think we'll get this kickstarted. Anand is working on the
CFP which should be ready over the weekend.

Anyone else have some free time a couple of months later to review
some proposals? This is something that requires a lot of people so
every little bit helps.

I haven't really thought about it.

I'm not even sure how to do the review. Is it going to be all the
reviewers looking at all the proposals or some kind of split up etc.

Shouldn't google docs be enough for this ? We can create one account
for this which the reviewers can use. It can be shared with anyone else
who is interested. I guess it allows annotations & comments.

we can use the conference website. It is a wiki. I can make part of
the website admin read-only if required.

the way we did it last year was that reviewers could comment on the proposal 
and/or rate it +1, 0, -1. The authors had access to modify it. The set of 
reviewers was controlled by decorators - one specifying who can view the 
proposal, one for comments and one for rating. We had set it as - world 
viewable, registered users could comment and rate, one vote per head and only 
authors could modify. Of course each of these rights could be restricted to 
any subset of registered users.

Once we decide which rights are given to whom, implementation would be 
trivial.

Good catch. Corrected the date. Looks like the counter is designed to
work with only 2 digits. It is showing only the 2 digits in the days.
I'll try to fix that.

True but the problem was that we were so close to the deadline that we
couldn't get any reviewers and Baiju and I had to make do with a quick
scan of the proposals. We didn't use any of the features which the
software provided.

I don't think it's that big a problem. A wiki or a shared google doc
should be enough. Users voting is pretty pointless. Feedback from the
audience *after* a talk has been presented in a lot more valuable.

It looks nice. I noticed that you subdued  the header a little.
Something in the back of  my brain says that it looks a little dull
but that's just me.

you have not got the point I am making. The point is that we have to decide 
the following:

1. are proposals public or not
2. who reviews them
3. who makes the final decision
4. is there to be interaction with the author before a final decision is taken

once this is decided an appropriate mechanism can be put in place.

the counter is too big - it should be smaller and less intrusive. And I think 
we can do without the seconds (we are not launching a spaceship)

Nope. They get mailed/uploaded, a committee reviews them and it's

The committee which we're trying to set up. Anand Pillai is one of the
members and more are welcome.

We'll appoint someone to *head* it. Anand has already started work on
the CFP so if he's willing to own this up, it'd be perfect.

Case by case basis although I see no reason why not to do this.

any special reason for this? IMO for a community event public exposure is 
good. However if this decision holds, there is no need to discuss the process 
at all - proposals get mailed to the head of the committee. He circulates it 
among the members, decides on the selected talks and it gets put up on the 
site.

That's what I thought and it's what seems most natural to me. Quite
frankly, your line of thought didn't even occur to me.
I'm not sure how much benefit there will be in soliciting comments
from the general audience and trying to make it more 'democratic'.

However, if there's sufficient interest in doing it this way, we can
go ahead. I'm not religious about it either way. I feel that your
approach requires more work and coordination.

not really a question of being democratic. It is rather that the conference is 
in its initial stages - not like a well established conference like pycon 
where there are thousands of aspiring speakers. Here speakers would like to 
see who else has proposed talks and on what - the 'junta' would also like to 
see what kind of interest is being generated and what kind of level of speaker 
participation is going to be at. A lot of people who have something to say are 
diffident about it - but when they see X is proposing some sort of talk and then 
they say: If that guy can talk - so can I. Permitting the 'junta' to comment 
or rate on site may not be necessary, they can as well comment and rate on the 
mailing list. Of course the final decision should be by the committee, taking 
into account discussions. Further the organisers can also say things like - 
xyz subject is not covered, some one please come forward.

I like Kenneth's thought process. It does not seem to a question of
'democratic' . It is just that public exposure is good for a variety of
reasons. More so for a fledgling event . Making the transition is faster
rather than later when having a big event

This makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

Once Anand comes out with the CFP, we'll see how we can structure this
so that the proposals are publicised properly.

 Very nice, eye-pleasing look. Good work!
 I agree with Kenneth's observation regarding the counter.

 The etched look of the top level menu looks really cool.
 Perhaps the font could be a little more darker i.e more
 emphasized ?

 The whole thing looks cool, almost winter-like theme,
 especially with the "star" logo that looks like a snow-flake.
 What does it signify btw ?

Sorry to say. But I don't think this is very appealing to my own  tastes,
however quirky or grotesque my taste may be. I really think you must stick
to simple and white background, the colour appeal is over all dull.

However since we are all volunteers, and the critic himself doesn't have
time to offer, please treat this purely as an observation.

Message-ID: <AANLkTikEQ3_Sn5yNsVxma1HvRykoR22XRULxxXeC7j1r@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,
   Anand has sent me a draft of the CFP which I've put up on the wiki
at  http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndia2010/CallForProposals

   The formatting is a little rusty since my own laptop has all but
bitten the dust and I'm doing this on a friends machine with a foreign
environment.

   We're late with this. If we don't get this out in a few days, our
entire conference is going to suffer. Bad talks is the death blow to
an event like ours and we have to take all steps to keep the quality
high. The main way to do it is to give people time to submit stuff and
to review the submissions seriously before the conference. Anand's
proposals have timelines in them which are quite tight but the best we
can manage right now.

   I can't over emphasise the need to review and get this out the door
quickly and to publicise the CFP. It would be wonderful if you folks
on the list can take a look see at the draft on the link above and
suggest corrections. If there are typos, formatting fixes etc., it's a
wiki, please go ahead and make them. For larger changes, do mail back
to the list.

   Please take a look and mail back. We have to get this out by the
week and flood the interwebs with notifications about this. This is
the main part of the conf!

Thanks.

The draft looks superb in my view, just two suggestions to change.

"PyCon <http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyCon> India is the first..."  , we
already had another conference last year, so this should not be named first.
We could probably have it like "PyCon
<http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyCon>India is the only conference of its
kind..."

"India for the 2nd time from Sep 25-26 2010"  ==>  "India for the 2nd time
from Sep 25 to Sep26 ' 2010"

-Thanks

Hi,

  Thanks for writing Noufal, I got a bit busy at office to upload
this in time.

 It is done and the URL is http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndia2010/CFP .
 Please ignore the previous URL sent by Noufal.

 Go through this and let me know your comments. I am top-posting
specifically so that this email doesn't go un-noticed.

 I would like to know if it is possible to have a proposal submission
system on the web-site in place by June 11th.  Something like
a simple web-form which can be used by the submitter to upload
proposals. If so I will update <URL> with it and provide more details.

 If we prefer the simpler email way, then I need a <submit at site>
 email where we can receive proposals. I don't want to give a personal
email address here - so I request suggestions. Can we have
 <submit at in.python.org> ?

Thanks

--Anand

Btw, sorry for the short notice, but it would be great if feedback is
received by June 10th i.e within 2 days. We should try to open it up
by at most June 14th i.e next Monday, though if possible keep the
same date, i.e June 11th.

Yes, I can build a simple submission submission system.

I'm fine with either one. We already have contact at in.pycon.org,
redirecting to Noufal. We can use that.

 Very good. From the CFP you can see that we need the f
following details.

1. Talk title
2. Duration
3. Category tags - We can either provide some standard tags but
 better this be a free field where user can enter his own tags.
4. Level - beginner/intermediate/advanced
5. Summary
6. Detailed outline (for reviewers)
7. Notes  (for reviewers)
8. Primary author's - up to 3 names
9. Contact email(s) - This defaults to the email address of the
user by which he has registered as a delegate in the pycon site.
But he should be able to specify another email address. The
proposal approval, reminder etc will be sent to this email.
10. Presented in Pycon 2009 ? - This could be useful to track our
talkers.
11. If (10) name of the talk (optional)

If we can have the form, nothing like it. We don't need both
options as that will confuse the submitters.

No issues. I'll remove my link. I just put it there to expedite the
business. Let's not have 2 links to confuse people.

It would be nice to put a timeout on the submission system. I would
prefer a form to email but either way is fine. We need to get the CFP
up and start publicising it by the end of the week. If the form based
submission is ready by then, well and good. If not, let's do email.

Thanks

User doesn't have to create an account in the website to register for
the conference. I don't want to make each delegate to remember yet
another password. We are starting CFP before the user registrations so
default values in #9 is invalid.

I would like to simplify it further.

1. talk title
2. duration
3. categories
4. level
5. summary
6. authors
7. contact address
8. notes for reviewers
9. support for uploading slides

I'll implement a form with 1-7 now. #8 and #9 will be implemented later.

The submitter will get an email after successful submission and that
email will contain a link to edit submitted talk. Anyone who knows the
URL will be able to edit the talk. No registration required!

It would be nice to have (in addition to the following fields) a
general "catch all" - something like "any other comments" since
there's always extra stuff people sometimes need to say.

Publicising this is going to be a little hard so let's get this out
fast and then concentrate on that. Twitter, blogs, planets, mailing
lists, telegrams, telephones, express messenger, word of mouth and
other channels anyone can think of.

For submitters or reviewers?

Both, description and notes will be markdown fields. Additional notes
can be added in the same field at the end if required,

Silly me. I missed the "notes" field. That should work. You can ignore
my previous comment and go right ahead.

Hi,

Quick updates:

0. Unfortunately, we were are late with our request this year as
Google (in US) has already allocated their conference sponsorship
budget through 2010. I've been asked to contact them regarding 2011*
sponsorship later, which I will unless someone else wishes to handle
this (IIRC, earlier someone on the list had volunteered to talk to
their google contacts, but I cant find that thread now and
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndia2010/SponsorShip, does not list
anyone).  IIUC, each country's Google office has a certain budget
allocated per year. So if anyone has contacts in google (india) they
_might_ still have budgets for 2010.

1. http://wiki.europython.eu/GoogleDiversity was something I had asked
for Pycon India. Does anyone have thoughts on this? Will keep the list
posted if I hear budgets for 2010 are still available.

3. I've added Pycon India to the events calendar :
http://code.google.com/events/calendar/

* I assume the 2011 venue will be Chennai and wont be changed.

looks good - I added a small clause regarding license for release of talks. We 
need to determine exactly what license we are going to use. Also mention of 
lightning talks, BOFs, sprints should be there - may be not a call for 
proposals yet, but at least to make sure people are aware of this and that we 
do not lose sight of it.

I would suggest this license:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

also wrt audience:
'The conference is aimed at the python community and the participants will be 
members of the community of various levels. Although total newcomers to python 
will be welcome, the conference will not be in any way focussed on introducing 
python.'

or something on these lines ...

[..]

I think you should contact them but a little cautiously. Anand's point
earlier about Google never wanting to be a second player is valid. If
they ask for too much and for the conference to be "Google branded",
we'd have to say no. No harm talking to them. Just exercise a little
caution.

I'm not opposed to it but I wouldn't really consider it a priority.
Based on the feedback from last year, the quality of talks was low.
That's the thing which I think we should spend most time and energy
on.

Do you mean the talks given by women? I couldnt attend last year, so
cant comment. However I did have some general points:

On average, the percentage of women _attending_ such (i'd have used
'floss' but this isnt one) conferences or tech-events** is low, much
less as _speakers_ on a technical subject.  There are a number of
factors that one could cite but it would still be speculation as each
individual is different.

A majority of us can talk. Standing on stage and talking confidently
about a technical topic in front of an audience which could have your
peers or other experienced industry folks, is very different from the
school/college presentation we did as students or a daily banter on a
technical subject.

I've seen male speakers with excellent technical knowledge getting all
flustered, or stammering or forgetting parts of their presentation
when audience member(s) walk out of their talk. No names please. This
can happen to anyone of us but its harder for a first time speaker.

Finally, travelling to conferences has its intangible costs, Time-- a
scarce commodity when you are balancing a career and a home, unless
your employer sponsors you.  Or as a technical student, some  women
may not get permission to travel outside their city for a less known
conference like pycon-india. There may be more but I dont know all the
issues that other women face.

At this point pycon-india is establishing itself --a good opportunity
for a new speaker to make their mark, so to speak. I would not call it
a priority to encourage new attendees or speakers (irrespective of
gender) but if Google (or any other sponsor) is willing to lend a
helping hand in whatever way they deem fit, it isnt something to be
ignored. I would be willing to help out if a sponsor expresses
interest in sponsoring women attendees or speakers. Anyone else
interested is welcome too.

** Even an unconference like barcamp-bangalore, which impo is quite
chilled out, so to speak, didnt have a flood of women speakers, albeit
higher than the norm.

No. I mean talks in general. There were more fundamental things than
diversity wrong with the conference and I think time, energy (and
perhaps money) should be spent on those rather than on those.

This is true although there *were* quite a few female participants
last time. We did have a couple of mails from some guys in Kerala
asking for financial aid and things like that but we didn't have a
budget for that so had to turn them down.

Piecemeal thoughts. Not necessarily relevant but which occur to me.
1. I'm more interested in getting "experienced" speakers and "new"
audience. First time
    speakers are welcome but if they're green with development *and*
green with speaking, I
    don't see much value in them speaking. Last year, we had a lot of
"hello world" style
    talks by first time speakers which significantly affected the
quality of the conference.

2. If Google or whoever is giving us money, it'll have to be "no
strings attached" (except of
    course what they get for being a sponsor which is mentioned in the
formal brochure).
    The unrest which went around on the list when the list of things
from IIT-B was sent is
    something which I resonated with. It'd be a hassle if they offer
sponsorship money for
    some specific purpose like "increasing audience diversity" and
expect some kind
    of deliverable from us.

    This of course is different from us initiating it. If we all here
feel that diversity is an
    important issue and that shortage of money is the reason that it's
not there, going to
    Google or whoever to get help fixing the problem is fine.

umm...i may be wrong about this but wanted to toss this out:  Its
important that we as organizers distinguish talks, and what kind of
topics get slots. This is something that the CFP is doing atm.
Secondly, we need to get the word out that not everyone needs to be a
speaker. There are other forms like leading a BOF, lightning talks,
technical sessions, sprints, etc where you can present your knowledge
or code etc.. If we give equal importance to other forms of speaking
there would be a good enough mix and interaction.

I dont know about deliverables, but IIUC, they'd not hand out money
"einfachso" because a criteria (gender) was met.  Generally speaking,
if a sponsor has a specific goal (Ex. A sponsor wants 20% of the
sponsorship money to be spent on a defined activity), I would think
that they want the money used for that purpose only. It is their
choice. YMMV.

It was initiated by me but before pushing it further I wanted to float
the idea here. This would involve some planning and discussion which
is why I do want to hear thoughts and, objections are more than
welcome.

this stupid bank has been 'upgrading their software' for the past month, as a 
result I have been waiting for upto 15 days for my cheques to get encashed. 
They are doing everything manually - so no option but to wait.

Thanks very much for all the comments and updates on this.

I have made some changes. Anand, if you can let me know the
submit URL by EOD today, I will update the CFP with this also
and send an email to the group. Then we can copy the text to
the conference site and go live on this.

It will be good to test the submit URL before we do so to
make sure there are no obvious bugs. If you need more time
for this let me know, so we can postpone this by 1 or 2
days. I would prefer to go live tomorrow as scheduled or
at most by Monday June 14th since we are already running
a packed schedule.

It is ready. For now, it just sends an email to Noufal, Anand B Pillai
and Anand Chitipothu.

I'm planning to put a real implementation by the end of next week and
I'll make sure any submissions before that are moved to the system.

Any objections?

No problems with the email part. But regarding the interface
I have a few suggestions.

1. Duration - Since we accept only 30/45 mins talk, why note make this
a drop down with only these 2 choices ?
2. I had added "Description" in the CFP for detailed outline for reviewers
plus notes. It is not possible to review a proposal with just a summary
which we say should not be more than 100 words. This is required
in the interface.
3. Can we have a "topic" category which lists the main topics I have
in the CFP which the user can select then ?
4. Does it make sense to generate a unique ID for a talk that is
submitted ?

I am most concerned about (2), others are fine in the current form.
I cannot review a talk with the information the current UI provides.

Thanks

--Anand

there is no verification of the email address submitted - I put an invalid one 
and it was accepted. Also I wonder if there is any protection against bots 
submitting talks - we *do* have people around who enjoy exposing such 
vulnerabilities ;-)

and I just submitted a blank form - that went through also. Apparently there 
is no verification set up so far.

Oh, so it was you who did it :)

Can we use simple verification like an email regex at least ?
I am not sure how tough this is, but seems easier with javascript
since it is quite common now a days.

For bots, a CAPTCHA is needed. Perhaps we can have a simple
one like what they use at wiki.python.org ? A few random questions
that cycle and the user has to enter the answer ?

There is no need of a complicated image CAPTCHA for this.

It is not clear to me. Do you want a description/notes field only for
reviewers? The interface for reviewers is not built yet and I'll
include that field when I build that.

Will be ready by next week.

The URL for talks will be like talks/12-how-to-run-pycon.

NO for captchas.

 I manage openlibrary.org, which gets about 200K unique visitors/day
and the amount of spam is quite manageable. Yes, we run without
captchas.

I don't expect  bot attack on in.pycon.org. May be I can add a
constraint to not allow more than one talk submission in 5 miniutes
from any given IP. That will take care of spam.

I don't think we're popular enough to get hits from spambots.  A
Captcha/textcha is overkill.

Anand B.'s point is that there should be a "summary" field and a separate
"description" field.

The summary field is a very short (less than 100 words) summary of the
presentation which will be displayed on the site when someone clicks on the
talk etc. It's how the public will know what the talk is about.

The Description field will be long and detailed describing exactly what the
talker is intending to talk about. This is what the reviewers will look at
to see if this talk can be selected or not. People will not be uploading the
entire slide deck etc. when they register their talk but they will *have* to
fill this and this is what will be used to review the talk and decide
whether we're going to have it or not.

Right?

I think this makes sense

OK.

Summary. (summary of your talk in less than 100 words).

Description (describe your talk in detail for reviewers)

I'm not quite happy with the the description of the "description"
field. Any suggestions?

 The current description looks fine to me. Actually you don't need
a description of the description. Just do as follows.

Description

Outline (A detailed outline of your talk, for reviewers only)
<textarea>

Notes (Notes for reviewers, if any)
<textarea>

Sure, why not. If they want to fill in let them do it. These could be
additional tags which decorate the talk, apart from the main category.

Isn't this a little redundant? Why a separate notes field? We'll have one
box called "Description" or "Detailed outline" which contains the outline
along with notes for the reviewers.

Yeah. I think it's a good idea. It's just that my sense of humour is as
usual way off mark.

 Ok folks, this has gone long enough. Please provide this at end of the
 day. Speaker bio, outline, notes whatever - I will take it.

 Anand, I will send the modified final CFP to you by EOD (before the world
cup
starts!) and also try to update it in the wiki.

 Since we are going to open this say by tomorrow, let us put the
opening date as June 12, since today is no longer feasible. Is that
okay with everyone ?

I'm out of town for the weekend. Please add the CFP to the website
once your final modifications are done.

How to do that ? I have no idea.
Can you let me know the modus operandi ? Or ask someone
with the gyan to help me.

Please create an account in the website from
http://in.pycon.org/2010/account/register and let me know. I'll give
you required permissions to edit the pages.

After that you have to go to http://in.pycon.org/2010/cfp and click on
the Edit link at the bottom of the page (visible only to the logged in
users).

The website uses markdown for formatting.

I spent nearly half an hour in the night trying to get any kind
of list going in the text. Unordererd or ordered list are all showing
up in the page without the bullet mark. I have tried all kinds
of mark-down syntax, putting raw HTML (<ul><li>...</li></ul>),
but the text I want to bullet just shows up as,

"""
Contents
  Important dates
  Permission to record/release presentations

"""

Not good - what is the point in having so much technology
if it cannot render something as silly as a list properly ?

Looks like you have a problem with your stylesheets.
I wanted to put this up today night, but without lists
showing up as lists in the site, I can't go forward
because I am using a lot of bulletted and numbered
lists in the CFP as you can see from the draft.

And I thought moimoin was a pain!

Please someone fix this annoying problem if they
know how to hack stylesheets. I hit my limits with
HTML/CSS etc within half an hour at the most since
I never do this stuff.

http://in.pycon.org/2010/cfp

HTML source shows <ul>...</ul> correctly but
rendering shows no sign of a list being there.

Subject: [Inpycon] Programming contest
Message-ID: <AANLkTilMtC3NyQUHudJRIvQwMYe2i0c0JtXlWXUI92A0@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,
   PyCon apac just got over and it was fun.

   One of the things that happened here was an online programming contest
during the last one hour before the event closed. People basically had to
log in to a site on appengine and take a series of questions online. It was
two rounds and the first guy to finish won an ipad.

   I found it quite fun and all the participants enjoyed it as well. It
added some colour to the event and needless to say, the ipad prize made
people code quite fast.

   I was wondering if we could organise something similar to this in India
for the conference? The prize is not a problem. A netbook these days costs
around 20k and we can have a sponsor for that if necessary. Do you think it
would work? Would it be a good idea?

  Just in case the question comes up, the contest application was in Python
(Django specifically) and hosted on Google app engine so that wasn't an
issue. The guys who ran it here were in Bangalore for a while so they might
be willing to conduct it here as well.

Comments/ideas/thoughts?

Thanks

Programming contest sounds fun to me. I'm sure any student will love it.
+1 from my side.

What type of problems were you given between ?

Simple ones really. The site is here http://singpath.appspot.com/

It wasn't about *really* challenging problems. It was about the time limit
and the way they MCed the whole thing that made it fun. I thought it was
quite cool.

Hi folks,

   I have completed my work on the CFP.
Please take a look at the page.

http://in.pycon.org/2010/cfp

I have added a mini FAQ to go along with it.

http://in.pycon.org/2010/cfp/faq

(Anand C - Markdown numbered lists had a problem again
with paragraphs, so I had to be creative with numbering here.
Otherwise, everything was showing up as 1. Please don't
change it)

I have put today's date because we can open this up
by today evening and announce to the world via
blogs and tweets and status messages.

Please take a look at it and come back with
urgent corrections etc if any by 5.00 pm.

Otherwise, if this looks fine, I am going to
open it up by announcing it on the pycon blog
and on twitter by 5 pm.

Thanks for everyone who helped, especially
Anand C, Noufal and Kenneth.


Regards,

Anand C - can you change the "None of the above"

I tried editing it via http://in.pycon.org/2010/talks/submit?m=edit

Given the fact that we have tags, I think we can drop the "topic" field
altogether. Why force classification? What value does it give us? Also, the
list is huge. It's annoying to read through it and shoe horn my talk into
one of those categories.

Good work Anand!

A couple of things you'll need to do on the site when you make this live.
1. Put the calendar on the front page. We have a "dates" heading there with
no dates below that. You can put up the dates from the CFP there along with
a 25/26 September : Days of the conf.

2. Link to the CFP from the front page.

Apart from that, we're good to go. I emphasise again, we *need* to publicise
this. The number of good papers that come in is directly proportional to how
much we publicise. If the publicity is limited, the talks will be limited
and we'll get the conference that we deserve. For everyone who felt that
last  years conference had bad talks, this is the time to put your money
where your mouth is! :)

Thanks

Here are some I can think of
- Blogs (your own or any other tech. blogs you're a member of)
- Twitter/identica
- Mailing lists you're part of (FOSS/Python ones)
- IF there are any people here on planet Python (I know Baiju is), then it
would have more visibility if they posted.
- Word of mouth.

Thanks.

Some changes we can use.

After submission, please provide a "Back" button which takes back
to CFP page. Currently it just seems to go to thin air.

Can we say "Please check back here on August 31st 2010"
also ?

Message-ID: <AANLkTikn7pysz-WC0_NPhiNryKb8sy10YbXez8Z3LBve@mail.gmail.com>

Okay. We had a lot of cool logos submitted last time. It would be great if
some of the more artistically inclined folks here could make some badges
that people can post on their blogs/sites. Something like "I'm speaking at
PyCon India 2010" this year with a link back to the main site.

It would help publicity and stuff.

I've put up a page at
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndia2010/Badgeswhere you can upload
your work.

Subject: [Inpycon] Opendevice - Is this a valid topic for PyCon?
Message-ID: <AANLkTilCdxJRBy-4v3GVYyt-IoFEN_BTj1wQ6QwWc_eC@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I'm involved with
Opendevice<http://bitbucket.org/srirangan/opendevice/wiki/Home> -
an open source project to port HTML5 apps to various mobile handsets and
devices.

Python 3.1 has been used for its development. Is it a valid topic for a talk
at PyCon?

My proposed talk will focus on:

   - How Python was used to create a command line tool
   - Interoperability across Windows, Linux and OS X
   - Working with third party tools including device specific SDKs, ANT etc.

Your views, feedback, ideas and suggestions are welcome.

Since I'm new to the community and this is my first email to the list,
here's a little about me:

   - Blog - http://srirangan.net
   - Google Profile - http://www.google.com/profiles/srirangan#about
   - LinkedIn - http://www.linkedin.com/in/srirangan

Thanks,
Sri

Hi Srirangan,

  Yes of course this is a valid topic for Pycon. Please submit a proposal
at http://in.pycon.org/2010/cfp right away.

I have discussed this in the Pycon CFP FAQ at
http://in.pycon.org/2010/cfp/faq - If you are not sure, submit
anyway.

In this case, I think it is fit for Pycon India.

Thanks

--Anand

I think it's swell. You should go ahead and submit a talk. If there's
something that needs to be tweaked, we can always correspond on email and
get it right.

OT - SingPath seems very similar to PyKata!, most probably built over it.
Hmm interesting, the author thanks David MacQuigg but hardly mentions
PyKata.

Subject: [Inpycon] Hanging a poster
Message-ID: <AANLkTilPXLGYiCZG8eKoiejItIihzlfqfvl_El_n0mnX@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I'm working on a Python project called GarlicSim <http://garlicsim.org>.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend PyCon India to give a talk about
it. But, if you are interested, I can send you a poster you can hang. The
poster will introduce the project and show screenshots with explanations.

Would that be acceptable to you?

Thanks,
Ram Rachum

(P.S.: Please put me in the `to` field of any replies.)

It does sound interesting. I'm not sure if we'll have any poster spaces
though..

Well, it looks like the student crowd thinks it's a good idea. I think it's
neat too so one old man for it. Any other opinions?

We don't plan to have posters. Any project should be part of
a talk, a sprint or BoF. Still let us see if this can be accommodated.
We will get back to you on this.

A few other ideas -

* We can have a hackday which starts at 5PM , Sep 25 and ends at 
5PM Sep 26. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_Day]

* Or we can have something like - 
http://www.esug.org/Conferences/2010/Innovation+Technology+Awards?_s=jqPXQXjkj3u9Qr9p&_k=mH--XhrV&_n&30

* Or something like -
http://pdxfoscon.org/competition

The last 2 of these are not something created during the conference.  This has
the advantage that the contestants would have thought really hard about the
work being presented.

I've posted the announcement to the Bangalore, Chennai and Kerala Python
lists.
I'm not on any of the lug lists. If someone here is, please post a note to
them as well.

I'm not sure if we're publicising this sufficiently. If this bombs, that's
the end of the conference.

Thanks.

Did you post in BangPypers ? We tend to assume both lists
have same numbers but that isn't true.

Message-ID: <AANLkTiko7RASf0MRnLhateBsBrgYFeY547dVC6E0FCG9@mail.gmail.com>

What is the status of sponsorships ? How many people have signed on ?
The pycon web-site looks blank with all "Sponsorship" blocks showing
empty. People might get put off with that (I am guessing, but I am
getting put off, so just extending the feeling).

Can we have an update ?

We are at a crucial stage between now and July of attracting
sponsors and speakers.  We need to be on our toes to get
this thing going.

Thanks

Can we please remove the "rocket launch" timer from
the site ? It looks ugly and distracting.

We don't need a timer at all. Instead we just need
a calendar. First let us get some talks and sponsors
and then move into the countdown mode.

Also, I am having some thoughts about the dull
blue background of the site and the tiny fonts.
Nothing about the site is eye-catching at all.
It fails to inspire. Can we have more larger
fonts and a better background ?


Thanks,

Vijay? Jaganadh? Your updates will be needed here.

I think there are 4 or 5 threads that have been opened. I'm not mentioning
the names here sice they're not cofirmed yet.

Do you mean a box with important dates listed? Like this?

June 12, 2010: Call for proposals opens
July 31, 2010: Proposal submission deadline
...
Sept 25-26, 2010: Conference days

I don't think that can fit into sidebar or a header. How about
creating a new page for that?

Increased the font-size.

Abhishek said he'll try couple of new improvements soon.

Not on a separate page. We need important dates on the front page.
I think we can drop in a table tehre with the dates about as wide as the
twitter widget. Can't we?

Like all sites, it's got room for improvement. I think it's functional
enough so this is not urgent.

I think generally empty pages or slots always spoil a site - so let us put up 
the sponsors as and when we have them - not have empty slots at all

I can remove that, but empty sidebar will look incomplete.

How about adding MSRIT logo as Venue sponsor?

Neat. We already have one pair and they look quite nice.

Given the artistic talent showcased last year, I'm sure we can come up
with a few more.

Anymore?

Has their software been upgraded? What's the word?

Good. I'll put the matter on hold until the date of the conference comes
closer.

software is upgraded. In one of the documents given by the registrar, the 
society was mentioned as 'The Indian Python Software Society', whereas in the 
rest of the documents and forms submitted the name was correctly recorded. So 
Mumbai did not accept the application. We have got the thing rectified in the 
Registrar's office and a corrected copy has been given to the bank. Awaiting the 
number now. (am in Chennai at present, so do not have the exact time when we 
will get the number).

hi,

as you are aware, we formed the society mainly for the purpose of getting a 
bank account to help run the annual conference. However to keep the bank 
account, certain minimal work has to be done to keep the society functional 
(otherwise we will suddenly find we do not have an account any longer). However 
discussing society affairs on this list would detract from the main effort of 
running the conference. I therefore propose to start a separate mailing list 
(possibly on googlegroups) for the sole purpose of discussing society affairs. 
That way only those specifically working on society matters need to be troubled 
(of course anyone who wants can join the list). Forthcoming matters to be 
discussed:
1. filing income tax returns
2. enrolling members
3. committee meetings
4. preparing for the AGM

thoughts?

+1 from me. We don't need to go to google for that. I think
it is fine to ask for this list to be created in python.org itself.
If it is fine with others, I will send a request to Jeff Rush.

Dear All
I finished the first draft of the Sponsor Application and Contract form and
added to the wiki page
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndia2010/SponsorShipTiers
It is not complete. Terms and Conditions has to be drafted. I just adopted
major portion of the content from the US Pycon sponsorship form .
I request you all review it and add give inputs for drafting the terms and
condition page too.

Once it is finalised we have to create it as an editable PDF file.

Due to another conference I compelled to prepone some dead lines in my
workplace. So I was not able to finish it in the committed time which was
two weeks ago.

With regards

Jaggu

I have moved the content to
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndia2010/SponsorShip

The other page is public and sent to sponsors. Putting draft status
documents there is not such a good idea.

Please have a look

There is a JED-I course happenning in IISC . This is a course for all
college students and lot of them might be interested in participation /
volunteering / spreading the word if they get to know.

If possible we can try and contacting the JED-I organizers and give a 5 - 10
minute talk . Will help in getting word around . Not sure if that will help
in the advertising though

Message-ID: <AANLkTilVfcRYv1B5g-8ucgNYgVsX0RhhG1ZQfxFyz7Qa@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Guys,

I am a keen python enthusiast, and have been closely following the evolution
of PyCon from the good 2009 days. I was very thrilled on hearing the success
of PyCon 2009, in a time, the industry was reeling under recession. Python
getting acceptance in India, is something I was feeling
very enthusiastic about. As an on looker on the proceedings on PyCon 2010, I
am sorry to say, that the 'buzz' is not very much there as in the last year.
I have a feeling that, PyCon 2009 had an aura which attracted many towards
it, (for sure not to discount the relentless effort of the volunteers) which
made it a huge success. I am afraid the same aura is missing in PyCon 2010,
which requires some corrective action, to make sure this endeavor is again a
success and for years to come.

I would have really liked, if PyCon 2009 success is used extensively in the
initial stages of PyCon 2010 marketing till it carries mass to stand on its
own.

For example
1. There is no mention or a link to PyCon 2009 from the PyCon 2010 page.
2. No mention of the success of PyCon 2009 in PyCon 2010 page
3. The twitter updates are old (> 20 hrs)
4. Sponsors page looks a deserted look (I don't see a need for this, if
there are no sponsors, and host a page similar to PyCon 2009 on reasons to
sponsor, so that companies see the advantage, also a link to previous years
sponsors)
5. The page is not that attractive as that of the previous year.

These are few comments which I observed on the home page which is what many
prospective companies will first take a look. Other than that, I feel a lot
can be done to attract people, and use this place for events happened after
the success of PyCon 2009. A simple googling of "PyCon India 2009" provides
around 32000 results. I am sure there are lot of stories people can tell
about it, which can be showcased. If people could talk how PyCon
2009 benefited them, it will be a great plus for the new comers.

I am not trying to undermine the efforts taken by the community, but wanted
to tell how I feel as an outsider who is looking at the proceedings.

Wishing PyCon India 2010 an huge success !

Regards
Indrajith

Thanks for the suggestions Indrajith.

My own feelings as an "insider" is that there's lack of energy this
year. The things about the website/twitter and stuff are secondary
compared to the actual lack of people. I'm not sure how to fix it.

We need people to actually publicise the event. There seem to be no
emails to mailing lists about the conference. I'm not sure what other
avenues need to be explored. It's kind of a low time for me.

If you can help spread the word - twitter, blogs, word of mouth,
announcements etc., it would be great.

Thanks again

Hello everyone,
    We seem to be at a somewhat critical situation regarding
the conference.

    I suggest that we meet face to face somewhere this weekend (or if
it's too short notice, the next) and decide
where this is heading.

    What do you all feel?

Thanks.

Where do we meet? A place that somewhat "central" to all of us. How is
M.G. Road? Or maybe Koramangala? M.G. Road has brigade gardens which
has some nice space to sit and talk. Anand and I met there a few weeks
ago.

Great. I would suggest to keep the bills and adjust the money
with Pycon India funds which should be now with the IPSS
for this event and any future meetings.

Hi Noufal,

I apologize for the delay. ?I discussed this with Asokan.

I'll first give you some background so you get where we are coming
from. We are funded by MHRD so it is appropriate to publicize their
involvement. To restate, I believe that treating us on par with a
commercial organization is not appropriate.

__For us visibility and publicity definitely matter__.

So here is what we feel would be appropriate:

0. Special care should be taken by organizers to ensure quality of talks.

1. "FOSSEE funded by MHRD" must be visibly present in various places.

2. We will fund/sponsor PyCon to the tune of Rs.1 lakh to be used as
decided by the organizers.

3. We will conduct a "python for scientific computing" tutorial. Think
of it as a parallel track for tutorials. It will be targeted at
faculty members of educational institutions offering engineering,
science, and computer applications, only.

4. We will conduct a lightning talk on our SEES (Software Engineering
for Engineers and Scientists) course.

For item 3, we will pay for 2nd sleeper train fare for the faculty

We are sure this will benefit PyCon quite a bit.

Here are answers to specific questions.

FOSSEE, which is funded by MHRD. ?Fossee is mainly based at IITB.

PSF is not our funding agency, MHRD is. :)

Fair enough.

We might issue certificates to the teachers who attend and I think we
will take care of that. ?As regards banners, I think it is fair on our
part to ask for a clear mention of fossee and MHRD's involvement
somewhere prominently.

There is no fossee event here, we are teaching teachers on how to use
Python for scientific computing for a whole day!

OK. I understand you want to keep the t-shirt free of any sponsoring
agency but to treat us on par with any company is inappropriate. ?We
are out and out trying to increase Python adoption with no hidden
agenda. So please let me know of your concerns but do not treat us
like some random company out there.

I think we'll do that this time.

Combined logo of FOSSEE + MHRD together? Or put both logos?

Wow! Govt. of India is the Gold sponsor.

Yes, we can also use their network to put posters in many colleges.
That might get us more student participants.

I don't really agree here. PyCon shouldn't look like a FOSSEE event.
They can distribute a new t-shirt if they wish.

clarification - fossee is a project under MHRD - it in no way represents MHRD 
or the Govt of India. (I work in a similar project under MCIT)

Alright. I feel generally positive about the whole thing. My qualms
are the extra certificate and the T-shirt.

We'll discuss this on Saturday when we meet f2f and send back some
minutes to the list. It's just tomorrow. An F2F would be a good thing
and a day of delay is fine.

I think there will be cash coming in soon. Maybe in a week or so.

Is there any word on whether this will be ready by then?

The extra certificate may go to the faculty members and students who is
attending the FOSSEE workshop /sprint .
And there is no separate 'conference kit' for the workshop/ sprint.

Yes. So it might become a "conference with a conference". Let's
discuss this in the F2F.

I think we can treat it as a *Workshop* with in *Conference*.
If this *Workshop* happens I think more faculty members (They are
restricting to 100) will be attracted to *Python*.
As the common law if faculty members comes, students will be also coming .
The teachers requires certificates for their service and leave sake .

with talk details - last year since there were at least one talk submitted 
every day or two, and this was tweeted, it created a buzz. Organisers may be 
encouraged to submit talks to get the ball rolling - these can always be 
withdrawn later if better stuff comes up.

Hi All.

organising weekend courses in colleges.
Please let me know who others are available to be the mentors.

hi,

I just submitted a talk and have two comments on the experience:

1. it took a fair amount of time to find the talk submission page - the only 
link I could see was way down near the bottom of the cfp.

2. I cannot see my submitted talk anywhere where I can edit it if I have made 
some mistakes (or even enjoy looking at it)

Hi Kenneth, all,

Yes a fair in reachability terms. We've been working on new looks lately -
http://twitpic.com/1xwcqf http://twitpic.com/1xwg27 yet to be implemented.

This brings a nice point to be added, we can add a bigger button or
something on sidebar for quick link to CFP submission too. Though reading
the CFP page is also necessary at the same time.

How about a CFP submission link also at sidebar on CFP page for quick reach?

Want more suggestions on improvements.

We'll put up the new page soon.

regards,
Abhishek

Message-ID: <AANLkTinJ0BBofkaLTFHGSyc90y2hj9uZR3am5TyRJbgv@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,
    Sorry about the cross posting.

    We're falling short in our publicity department and to that end
require some good artwork to brand the conference.

    There are 3 things which we need.

    1. A logo. We have some from last year which we can recycle but
I'd like that to be a last resort -
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndiaLogos

    2. Some badges and an ad banner - Three similar themed ones for "I
Support PYCon India", "I am speaking at PyCon India" and "I am
attending PyCon India". We have one submission at
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndia2010/Badges but I'm sure we can
get some more.

    3. T-shirt design - This will probably depend on the logo since it
will have to be there on the T but neverthless...

    I'm sure we have a lot of budding digital artists here who can do
a good job on this. The name fo the artist will of course be
prominently mentioned and you'll get really good bragging rights. :)

    For something like the conference we're working on to succeed,we
need volunteers for all things. Do help you where you can. Every
little bit counts.

Thanks

A few more have come in and I've received a logo as well.

I've added an extra page to hold logos and other non-badge artwork
(the division is arbitrary)
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndia2010/Artwork

It would be nice if we could have a few logos. We need some
"branding". Something we can scale down and use as the twitter pic and
stuff like that.

Thanks.

Excellent point! I'm not on Facebook myself. I've created some
notifications on Linked In. I'll create a group there.

Perhaps one of the people active on FB can create an event there? Are
you on the site Pranav? Perhaps you can do it then?

Okay. So, I'm going to reply to Prabhu today with a green flag.

Here's what we will do.
 - We have to put "FOSSEE.in funded by MHRD" as the name of the
sponsor on the website, banner, brochure and swag bag.
 -  We will also give them a special track room for the entire two
days and a stall outside that.
 - They're aims are different from "companies". They're more
interested in spreading the language rather than hiring etc. so I
think it's okay if we give them a sleeve of the T-shirt. Something
around the right sleeve that says "FOSSEE funded by MHRD" should be
fine. We're making this exception not for more money but because it's
not a "company" and has an interest in promoting the language
directly.
 - We'll need the cheque from them before the event so that we can
actually use it to get the event going.

Anyone see any issues?

I'll ask but I think the answer will be no. They want the whole thing
mentioned everywhere. You're right on the point of aesthetics though.

I feel other sponsor's of same tier(as IITB) will ask space in T-shirt for their logo/name .
I feel we can ask them to provide dedicated T-shirt with their expense which we can distribute if they need.

I fear that too. My counter argument that they're "special" in some
sense but I don't know how much that will fly with the other sponsors.

What you say? ?

I think it is probably okay to list them on the T-shirt, but it
shouldn't look like PyCon India is a FOSSEE event. If we just write
"FOSSEE funded by MHRD", it will look like that.

I've uploaded some more that I got to the Badges page (from the same
chap who designed the runner up logos last year). I think we can use
one of them now. http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndia2010/Badges

I personally like the last set since they're somewhat compact and
would fit on a sidebar, in a blog post. Also, the "speaker" pun really
hits me right there. Any comments? If not, we'll move the set to the
official site and put some HTML snippets to include them and link back
so that we can get some traffic.

We need some logos now. The one up there is good but competition is
always a good thing. We can use the one we select as the twitter
picture and on all our branding stuff.

This is my last X-post. Follow up discussions will only be there on
inpycon. Sorry about that and thanks for the patience.

It will be small (only on a sleeve). If we put in qualifiers to make
our position clear (i.e., "Sponsored/Supported by Fossee funded by
MHRD"), it will be too long and cluttered.

Subject: [Inpycon] Tracks
Message-ID: <AANLkTimaaAZFcfeQP_ae4rfcp52fHgeNSrC-oJ_mue0F@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,
   One of the things that's not clear in my head is the track
allotment. We have 4 rooms. One super large auditorium, two somewhat
large seminar halls and one small-medium seminar hall.

   This is my idea for the tracks. Let me know if you all agree.

   Auditorium : Keynotes and expected "popular" talks.
   Large SH 1 : "Hello world" track - Mostly tutorial level talks.
   Large SH 2 : General track (for other talks)
   Small seminar hall : FOSSEE Engineering track

   We can use the auditorium during the second half of the second day
for the lightning talks.

   Does this look okay with everyone?

Thanks.

Oh yes. We also have to arrange a semi-open place in the hallways
where people can sit and code/chat/talk if they want.

Okay. Do we have any comments on the badges? Should I set up a poll to
decide which one gets used?

We have just one logo. We need a few more or we'll have to recycle the
ones from last year and revote.

I like the second set with the image with names -
['pycon-i10-a','pycon-i10-s']. It seems to have a correct dose of
understated elegance and flashiness.
I also vote for the fourth set of images with names - ['PCI_supporter',
'PCI_speaker','PCI_attendee'].  I find it nicely small and 'hep'.

I did not like the first set with the snake creeping upwards. I like snakes,
infact I love those beautiful things, but this logo seems to be an overkill.
Just my opinion.

Message-ID: <AANLkTimGJ2y-jGWiXxS93v2Bw_e2xzHqTPwdCrW5_GBN@mail.gmail.com>

Hi folks,

             I just got an email from Pat Campbell, Secretary,
PSF informing of their decision to grand us a sum of
1000 $ for funding of a delegate to travel from U.S/Europe
to India.

This is a great decision by PSF and it is nice to see
the trust they have placed in us as organizers and in
Pycon India. I am grateful to Pat Campbell and other
board members who took the decision in favor of us.

Noufal, now you can finalize the discussion with
one invitee from U.S or Europe. Let us confirm this
by July end if possible, so that we can advertise it.

I will request Pat if we could place the PSF log
as one of the sponsors. I don't think there will be
much difficulty in that and they should be only
fine with it.

Best Regards,

--

Excellent! I will get on this right away!

We need to have a talk about whom to invite. Shall we do it on the list?

I've set up Google analytics for the site I think the site
advertisement needs work.

Unless someone here *really* has an objection/suggestion, here's what
I'm going to do.

 - Use the PCI_*.png badges  from the badge page
(http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndia2010/Badges - The fourth set)
as our official badges and promote them on twitter and the main
website. Get people to link back to the event using the badges.

 - Use the runner up logo from last year and change the 2009 to 2010 -
(http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndiaLogos?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=VipinChandran01.png).
We'll put this on the main website and I'll vivify the official
twitter account and start tweeting.

So, if you have some concerns etc., this is the time to speak out.
I'll do the above two things by the end of the day.


Thanks

Fine. We should put the speaker badges only after the talks are selected.

I think you should get an opinion from Abhishek Mishra, the designer
of the pyconindia 2010 website, on this. I'm worried that that logo
don't look nice with the current theme.

Yup. Makes sense.

I showed the logo to a friend <http://www.dezinr.com/wordpress/about/> of
mine and he feels he could design a better one.

However, presently he is tied up with other work and could submit a logo by
Monday.

We could wait till then to see what he comes up with and consider it.

If he doesn't submit one by Monday we could go ahead with the others.

What say?

if we want people to revisit our site, we need to have things happening on it 
- if nothing changes, there is no point in visiting it again. CFP is there - 
but no news on the talks submitted. Not even a tweet. Over a period of years 
we have found that community conferences in India follow a different flow from 
those in the US. There registration of delegates takes place after talk 
registration - here we have found that the best way is to open delegate 
registration at the first stage itself and widely publicise the list of people 
who say they are going to attend - this itself makes people revisit the site 
to see who is coming. As for early bird registration, it makes sense in the US 
where there is a substantial saving in early bird - and no sense here where 
the saving is a token one. So open the the delegate registration, publicise 
the talks submitted and permit discussion of the same on site - buzz will be 
generated. And make the landing page either the list of delegates or the 
submitted talks.

We'll remedy this once we get the logo. You're right though. What the
heck is the point of visiting a site when there's nothing changing on
it.

However, I'm interested in new people coming to the site rather than
old visitors coming again.

This makes sense. shall we open up the registrations?

Perfect!

Anand/Abhishek,

   How many of these are implementable on the site right away? The
twitter integration should be possible right?

   As for registrations, how soon can we open them up?

Thanks

Yeah. He and Michael Foord are the people I spoke with.

If all of us are fine with formally inviting David, we can go ahead with that.

 I am perfectly fine with inviting David since I understand he has been
 already spoken to and is perhaps expecting us to invite him also.

 The more important question is what he can talk about ?
 Will it be Python related or more about the dynamics of developing Python
i.e
 the open source and organic aspect of it ? Did he give a clue ?

 If we invite him he would be the keynote speaker and we need
 him to extract the best out of him. My thinking is that something about
 how Python is developed and the dynamics of the Python community
 would be a good draw.

I think that's a good suggestion. We should of course ask him as well.
I imagine there will be some visa issues too. The whole affair is not
one I have any experience with.

Can you please start the discussion ASAP with him ? Let us give him
ample time to apply for visa and sort everything out. You could
mention we got the PSF grant since he must also know about it
as he is part of PSF board.

Hi,

 I saw some tweets regarding PSF funding which says
sth like "Pycon got 1000 $ donation from PSF - f#!Iing awesome!"

Please refrain from using base language when
tweeting something which is as important as this.

I think we should be more civil when tweeting regarding
sponsors especially a parent body like PSF.

I saw many retweets also on this. I request the
author to delete this tweet and also the retweeters
since this is now showing up on the conference website.

While I agree with you completely, I think it's interesting to note
that the definition of "F*CK" is at times very different for the young
generation. In many cases, it is used to denote excitement, fun,
anger, frustration, pleasure, ignorance, etc. instead of the act of
copulation.

I think Osho's research on the word F*CK is very relevant here -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D7rWLzloOI#t=2m13s

The point that I am trying to make is that many times youngsters use
the word naively.

Regards,
BG

Np. Please delete the tweet if you haven't already.
Also, the proper wording for this is not even "donation".
PSF has sponsored us and it is better to be politically
correct on this rather than causing awkwardness.

If someone tweets on this, please say "PSF is sponsoring
Pycon India 2010 blah blah blah". That is better PR
from our side.

Sorry if I sound a bit too uptight. I am normally not,
but in this aspect, I would like to preserve some decorum.

Will the person who has the credentials to the twitter account
"pyconindia" please email me the same? I need to set this up so that
it auto tweets the proposals.

If the person is not here, can someone fish out the code with the
credentials from FOSSConf last year? We can use that then.

Hi,

       It is nearly two week since we posted the CFP
and we have had only 3-4 responses. So clearly the word
of the event is not getting out to the outside world and
we need to do more.

One of the things we can do is to search google/yahoo
groups for programming language communities and
post regarding the event there.

This needs some time since one has to find out
relevant, active community mailing lists in Y! and Google
and post a message there.

We need around 1-2 SPAM volunteers for this. Let
me know if anyone would like to help out.

Thanks,

What does everyone here think of actually printing out a largish

announcing the conference and the CFP? It costs a little but it
*might* be worth it. I'm thinking LUGs, Large colleges etc.

Thats a good idea. Can we use the fossee network for this?

Kenneth, I've given Noufal the pw for the Identica account and if you
are the owner for the twitter account, Noufal can sync the setup --one
post via identica will push it into twitter too.

announcing in colleges about the conference is a good thing, but about CFP ,
it might be a bit over ambitious to expect from colleges /universities as
first of all do we have information about which colleges /universities know
about python.

well assuming that we have some information and want to send some posters ,
please do not just post the posters ,as  from our experience most of time we
throw posters to dustbin, as there will be many posters coming every day to
colleges .( as you are mentioning large colleges , this is the situation in
large colleges , until and unless the person who sees that poster will be
aware about the importance of python conference )

use either student network or faculty network to spread the information.

send to all colleges at least locally ( why you think only big colleges? )

It is exams / vacation time now , better do not post during this time as
soon as colleges reopens then if you send it will be given a look atleast.

This is important since we do not have a tutorial on python, like last year.


If we can have a page on the wiki which lists colleges whose
students/faculty know python,
(like http://wiki.python.org/moin/BangPypers/PythonCompaniesInIndia)
students/faculty (and others)
on the mailing list can add to it. Also, students/faculty can use their
contacts to find out about
Python related activity in the colleges around them...

One way to see that the poster reaches the right place is to send it through
a faculty or student of the college.
Having contact-names/email in addition to the college name on the wiki page
proposed above,
will see that we know whom to contact for this...

Yeah! Posters sent now go to the dustbin for sure. Most colleges open late
August or early September.
Sending posters before that is a bad idea.

hi,

in the news section it says 'PSF is sponsoring the conference'. This gives the 
impression that PSF is paying for the conference - better to put: is a 
sponsor, or even better is sponsoring to the tune of 50K INR

Done. Let us not put the amount there.

Btw, I think it will be better if we can display the Sponsors
in a uniform way. Right now the PSF logo "juts out" since it
is wider than the MSRIT logo. Everything should fit in the
same column.

You can look at the Pycon Aus page and see how
nicely it is done there.

I also noticed we don't have a favicon. Please put the
python icon as the favicon on the site. The same one
they put in python.org.

It's  best if you open issues on github for issues like this
otherwise, I'm sure they'll fall between the cracks.

cool site. Nice to know that django is slowly taking over the world ;-) btw, I 
have seen some reports on the conference - there were about 200 delegates - 
which is considered a good number. Very different from the situation here. I 
suppose the level of the participants is much higher there, and possibly due 
to the expense, droves of newbies are not to be found.

I met some of the guys who were running the show at the APAC Event.
Mark Hammond and Malcolm were involved in organising it. They had a
*very* short "organising time" and they already filled the seats quite
quickly.

That's a pity. I see a few more logos added. I'll set up a poll to
decide which one if everyone thinks it's a good idea. I know some
people here (I'm looking at you Kenneth) that break out in a rash when
I mention surveymonkey. :)

I think there is a consensus in the list about survey monkey - however I often 
toss a coin to decide what to do when I am in doubt. If I am reluctant to 
accept the result of the toss, it shows what my gut feeling is and I follow 
it. So if a survey helps you to make up your mind - go ahead.

I generally don't like intrusive marketing. It's ineffective and
useless. Also, this will cost money so unless we're sure we're going
to gain something out of it, we shouldn't do it.

Based on that, I think we'll give this a miss.

However, what if we make a nice PDF for the event and give it (via.
email) to contacts at colleges to spread the word. Would it help?

The votes are in. Here are the results.

  Set 1    5.7%    3
  Set 2    9.4%    5
  Set 3    0.0%    0
  Set 4   28.3%   15
  Set 5    1.9%    1
  Set 6   54.7%   29

Set 6 wins.

http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndia2010/Badges

I'm not sure who did that last set but if the guy who did it can
holler here, I can publicise his name.

Abhishek, Anand,
   Can you guys make a page on the site with a "publicity" heading
where we can put these badges along with HTML snippets which people
can cut/paste into their sites/blogs so that we get some more traffic?

   We can directly link the images off in.pycon.org if that's fine
with you Anand?


Thanks.

The person who designed set-6 is Mr.Sai Kiran, designer at Agiliq Info
Solutions India PVT LTD <http://agiliq.com>
He is not on the mailing list.

Thanks to all who voted for set-6.

Okay. We need a *good* A/V team to record the event. It's something we
should spend money on if necessary since quality is a must.

Last year, it was just a phone call to justdial and me barking orders
in broken urdu to a bunch of guys who didn't know what the event was
about. While we have to engage with the parties only by early
September, I think it's a good idea to fish out good A/V recording
providers and talk with them. Any suggestions/ideas?

Thanks

Hello everyone,
    We're opening registrations on July 1.

    Here's the plan. We're using doattend (unless there are other
options which people want to explore). The website is at
http://pyconindia2010.doattend.com/. There will be a link from the
site to that one. I will call the doattend guys tonight and discuss
with them. Here are some potential questions.
    - How do college students without a credit card/bank account pay?
Can they pay on the spot? Will they help in that?
    - APIs to get participants registered so far etc. (so that we can
put it on the main site).
    - Rates.

   If there are issues which anyone sees, please let me know.

   We're thinking the prices should be
    Rs. 250 : Early bird (Early bird will be there till mid August or so).
    Rs. 350 : Spot registrations.

    Any comments?

Thanks.

I discussed with them about getting the delegate list. They don't have
an API right now, but working on it. They do display the list of
registered people in the admin panel. I can write a script to scrap
that and update it in our website every hour or so.

And the rate s 4.9% + Rs. 15. That turns about Rs. 17.5/- per person.
I think we can ask them for some discount.

 Another option is for them to sponsor us, if they think it
gives them any visibility. It is not a bad idea actually since
this could be the first large scale event for them ?

 That way instead of we paying them, they support us,  by
either giving a massive discount or for free.

They did Rubyconf India so I don't think we're that large for them but
it is worth considering.

early bird should be for *all* online registrations prior to the conference - 
online registrations should be open till the day prior to the conference.

Folks, please respond if you have some suggestions regarding
registration, fee amount etc. We need to get this going quickly
to not loose our current momentum.

Is that the plan? I recollect we had some confusion about this last
year as well.

My idea was that we'd sell the tickets online initially for a lower
cost (early bird) - this is to encourage people to register early. And
then after a cut off date (say 10 Aug), charge slightly more. The idea
is to get more people to register upfront and publicise the event.

I remember you mentioning that it won't make a different in India but
if students are coming, I think the lower price might be good for
them.

Spot registrations are purely for people who are in the neighbourhood
and want to drop in but don't have a ticket.

What do you feel?

in India, people put off registering and paying till the last minute unless 
they get a substantial benefit in paying early. For a person who is capable of 
paying online, 100 rupees will not make a difference. He pays online for 
convenience. We benefit from online payment so that there are less hassles. 
Even then you are going to see the usual queue at the start of the conference. 
So it is in our interest to encourage online payment. Abroad early bird gives 
you substantial reduction in payment as also preference for discounted hotel 
booking etc. These factors do not apply here at all. So instead of early bird 
- which does not mean anything, we put online payment 250 and on spot payment 
350. 

Another point - if the system is set to be unable to register without payment. 
then very few will register. We have to have a system where a person can 
register and choose 'pay now' or 'pay later'. Since obviously we cannot say 
that if you do not register and pay online you cannot attend - there is a real 
possibility that very few will register.

 +1. Valid point. We need a "register" on site and then click on "Pay"
button which takes us to doattend. This way we can track delegates on our
site and get payment status from doattend also. I am sure their API should
support
that.

I agree to this as well. I'll talk to doattend about it.

What about the early bird thing? I think Kenneth's suggestion makes
sense. I'm eager to avoid any queues at the conference since it's a
hassle.

Afraid not. they handled the tickets for proto.in rubycon and a few other
the last one and a half years.

 That way instead of we paying them, they support us,  by

i have been following them and the last i heard they have been seriously
researching on python for a few product of theirs. keeping this in mind and
the good will pycon will generate for them, you should probably ask them for
a better deal. would the person coordinating send me a personal mail, so
that we can co-ordinate on a better pitch ?

Yes. We should try to avoid the queues on the venue. They

doattend interface allows people to choose to pay at the venue. We
don't need have to "register" on our site.

I think, it is better to close the early-bird registration 10-15 days
before the conference so that we can plan well for food etc. If we
keep the early-bird till the last minute then people won't register
till the last minute.

what about food for those who come in the last minute (which will be the 
majority). This is India - the best and brightest always keep things to last 
minute

Generally caterers are flexible with 15-20% variation if notified 3 hrs in
advance. We have experienced this in MozDevDay and similar events. I thinks
its ok to give caterer final number by 10:00 AM that day ( if the
approximate range is indicated earlier).

i think you people have  forgotten that there are 50 student volunteers

first few hours ( not more than 2 hours ) majority of them could help in
doing registration if necessary

one of our experience ----- for an intercollegiate event with a
participation of 3000 participants there were around 50 events with atleast
3 volunteers for each event for registration and other things , we were able
to manage doing more than 1000 fresh registration within one hour

well for pycon 2010 if there are 20 student volunteers  doing registration
at 10 desks in parallel for every two mins, one registration would count
atleast 10 / min and may be more if participants have already registered

on an avg if 10 registrations/ min is done , by one hour the registration
process can be finished if the expected crowd is not more than 500

I don't think early-bird registration is going to cutdown the queue.
People anyway have to collect the conference kit and swag. With
early-bird registration we will have a better estimate of number of
people expected.

Hi Folks,

Here is my take on ticketing strategy, sorry for being late at it.
This is based on having handled over thousand event managers doing lot
many more events (quite a few of them in India).

1. Segmenting tickets

I understand there is a large student group that would want to be at
this conference and benefit from it. They cannot pay a lot and hence
there should be an extremely affordable Student Pass. Exclusively for
them.

Student Pass - rs. 250 (Showing valid ID at registration would be
must, badge will mention Student)
Working Professional Pass - rs. 750 (Because people like me can easily
pay that much, take away value from such conferences are much more
higher)

This can significantly help increase budget for A/V and other
important things that will make the event a quality one without having
to solely depends on Sponsors money.

2. Closing registrations Early

Usually registrations increase drastically towards the closing dates
for registration. And this not necessarily be the event date (minus
one). In indian scenario I would say over 40% of registrations happen
in the last 3-days before the registrations close. Having starting
registrations over two months in advance closing registrations 7 days
before the event would be an excellent idea. I would highly recommend
this for volunteer driven event so that planning and execution can be
smoother knowing everything about the size of your audience 1 week in
advance.

Being very clear about when the registrations close (just like how you
are clear about Proposal submission) makes event last minute guys
register 1 week before. How cool!

3. Alternative to Early Bird

Discount codes are great alternative to having early bird. For
instance, I would launch with discount code 'ilovepython' or similar
while announcing the opening of registrations. This code can be kept
to a max quantity of 50, valid for first 3 days with a cash discount
of 200 rupees (on Professional Pass) pushed mainly to the mailing
list, twitter and facebook group. (Just an example!)

My 2 cents.

not necessary , start registration at 8.30 or 9.00 , have more registration
desks and close it just before keynote addressing and then open again ,

otherwise few have to miss the key note and those might have to look into
the recoded videos

This sounds optimistic. We'd need 10 desks that crowd the area and
there will be a lot of hustle and bustle. I'm sure there will be spot
registrations but anything we can do to avoid that would be welcome.

I think it will help.
Picking up swag bags and giving it to people is not *that* time consuming.

It's when people give us money and we have to hunt for change and put
their names down etc. that it becomes tedious and time consuming.

This is not really practical. We can't take all the stuff from the
desks, keep it somewhere and then come back again after they keynote.
If the registration desk is opened, it should stay open till there are
no more people to register.

The traffic will spike around 10:00 am. That's when people will drop
in in large numbers. I think it's a given that the people who man the
registration desk will miss the keynote. It's not pleasant so i'd like
to make it as quick and less as possible.

Just because we have 50 student volunteers doesn't mean that we have
to needlessly make more work.

> otherwise few have to miss the key note and those might have to look into
> the recoded videos

Yeah. That's not a good thing. I'd like the number of people who miss
the keynote to be as small as possible.

There are problems with charging that high for a ticket. The venue
sponsor is right now giving us the facilities at a very nominal cost.
If we charge this kind of money, it wouldn't really work for them.

The registration money is purely to cover the swag and food. We're
thinking of the whole early bird thing to encourage people to register
early so that we can get approximate numbers.

We could *close* the registrations a week before the conference (ie.
No more booking online) and then do only spot registrations after that
for a much higher price. The aim being to discourage people from not
booking online.

I don't quite get this. Maybe I'm getting senile before my time but
this sounds a little complicated.
Does this mean that the first 50 or so people in the first 3 days can
enter "Ilovepython" or something and get a ticket for less?

Thanks

Fair enough. 750 is just an example. Just to make it cheaper for
Students and help subsidize student price by charge non-students
slight more.

Basically what I am referring to is: you can have discount coupons
issued to promote early registrations. This is just an alternative to
having early bird ticket. Basically discount codes could be time or
quantity bound or both.
