[Inpycon] Drumming up interest in pycon

[Chris Wakare]

Hi All,

Drumming up support must include
i. Having more developers and companies registering with
http://ipss.org.in/members/

 <http://ipss.org.in/members/>ii. Updating the IPSS website to include
'Success Stories' with python - something similar to
http://www.python.org/about/success/#xml

iii. mailers to college representatives

iv. Regular reminder in forums /emails to wait for more information and sign
up once the formalities are
    - I think we should have the publicity logo up and running for 2011
similar to "http://in.pycon.org/2010/publicity" as well as the home page
ready no later than March. 5 months then should be a good time to drum up
support and registration.

v. To get foot into companies, we need to first compile showcase products
and profiles of companies ( in India) using Python

vi. Not the least - creating an official Pycon India Facebook page


Regards,
Chris
