Diptanu & others,

One way most conferences get International speakers is coordinating with
their local offices or associate offices, and scheduling their visit to
coincide with the conference.

If there's someone whom you feel in one of your overseas offices who makes
sense to be at Pycon, you can ask your office to actually to schedule it
that way.

Check whether there's someone at Thoughtworks who can be brought in thru
this route. I know several other companies such as Google, IBM etc where
there are several known Pythonistas who may be as we speak working with some
local teams. In such cases the companies are happy to schedule a visit and
bring them down to India.

We may be willing to take care of their local commute and stay.

Zed Shaw should be cool, after all he has written Lamson ad Mongrel.. Also
the book Python the Hard way
