> success depends on participants and that's not something we (or anyone
> for that matter) can guarantee.

> 2. Talk selection will be more stringent. we will give a longer time
> for the CFPs so that we'll have time to select and we will keep
> "simple" talks in a separate tutorial track if there are sufficient
> good ones.

> separate registrations, certificates etc. for this. Basically, we
> don't want to divide the conference into a Fossee event and a PyCon
> event. We'll just list in the tracks and people who are looking for
> that kind of thing can attend it.

> promotional materials. A stall can be provided. The T-shirt will not
> have any logos except "PyCon India 2010". We're not giving that to any
> sponsor.

Yes.
