 This is not a valid argument. Let us assume for a moment that myself,
you, Anand C, Vijay Bang, Sri and a bunch of others who helped ran
Pycon 2010 move to Mysore in 2011. Would you use that as a basis for saying
we will run Pycon 2012 in Mysore ?

 Great. But as I have personally seen and experienced in Pycon 2010,
 just having a bunch of college students to run around is not good enough.
 Someone has to be on the ground, directing them.

Yes, so you got my point.

Exactly. It is not good to argue and make it appear that the following
is an axiom.

1. We first decided to do this in Chennai.
2. Most of the organizers who would have done this in Chennai
 is now in Coimbatore.
3. Most of these organizers feel this can be done in Coimbatore.
4. 1 and 2 with the support of 3, implies that Coimbatore is the natural
venue for this.

I would like to point out that 4 doesn't lead directly from 1,2 and 3.
We need to hear about other city folks in the list, discuss thoroughly,
call for a telecon of interested folks if required and take a proper
decision within a week or two at most.
