Website enhancements are ready. It is just a matter of enabling a

June itself ?

I second this. It's convenient if people are notified early so that they
can make their presentations etc.

I just got a reply from Steve Holden saying that he won't be able to
come down because of a clash with Djangocon that HoldenWeb conducts.
Any other suggestions?

I think July 5 would be a good date. That give us about 3 weeks time
for reviewing the proposals.

Also the first presentation upload date can be preponed to August 5.
That will give one month time for the speakers to prepare their slides
and there will be enough time left before the final update date for
suggestions and resubmissions.

He's a good speaker and hardcore hacker so a good option.

One other option that comes to mind is Raymond Hettinger (who I haven't
really spoken to but don't mind mailing anyway).

can we remove off this section completely ?  i am not a big fan of the
"includes but not restricted to" clause and my personal opinion is that, it
restricts your ideas for preparing a speech proposal. could we just say
something like:

"We accept proposals for PyCon India Speeches as long as it is touches upon
either of: python the language, its implementation, uses, and the community
behind it."

Good work...

I think this time we need to allow at least 1.5 months for the CFP. I know I
sound
different from others but closing the CFP on Jun 15 gives it roughly over a
month.

Keep the CFP open till June 30 and publish accepted talks by July 15-20.
That
gives the CFP a shelf life of 1.5 months (assuming you open it on 9th) and
3 weeks to review talks.

>From my experience last year I found not much use in giving 2 upload dates,
since a good percentage uploaded the slides towards the last date only
anyway.

I think we should give authors enough time to prepare the first slide
itself,
so suggest to keep the first upload date pretty late - say August 20 or
thereabouts
which gives 1 month for preparation. 2nd upload date is applicable only to
those who get emails regarding problems with the slide, so this could be
kept
pretty close to the conference, say Sep 1 or thereabouts.

How are we planning the CFP action this time ? Email to a set of email
addresses
as before ?

I can help with the reviews and also share the Python scripts I wrote to
automate
most of the stuff last time, so if you are planning to send email, add mine
as well.

Thanks,

+1. Makes it more compact as well. We *could* however give a list of
things to avoid if we want.

We encourage high quality proposals in all the areas involving Python
:  language, its implementation, uses, and the community behind it.
Each proposal will be judged according to its significance,
correctness, clarity, and elegance. We invite everyone interested in
Python to participate.
I have made changes to the dates, Proposal acceptance  to July 15th
2011,  http://in.pycon.org/2011/cfp .

Shall we remove the enumeration of topics then?

Do we need the topics in the submit form?

+1. Never met this guy, but considering the quality of his code and his
original contributions to Python std library, he is always on the top of my
mind...

For the uninitiated, Raymond brought us generator expressions,
most of the "collections" module (named tuple, ordered dict etc)
and if I am not mistaken a good part of the itertools module.

Each proposal will be judged according to its correctness, clarity,
and elegance. We invite everyone interested in Python to participate.

Very nice. I had written quite a few scripts last year to send note of CFP
to last year authors through direct email. I will send it across to you and
also a list of name, <email address> for last year's submitters.

I will also blog about this in Pycon blog.

Folks,

 Please update the CFP with the "Contact number" field. Last year we
 had lot of problems not having mobile numbers of talk authors when
 a number of them went absconding. We don't want to repeat it this year.

 Please do this quickly before proposals start coming in...

  I suggest to have "Contact Number" and "Alternate Contact Number: "
fields.

Thanks,

--Anand

I've added it and then removed thinking that we can ask for contact
numbers once the talk is selected.

I'll add it back now.

Hello everyone,
        Due to some personal matters, I won't be able to spend 
energy and time like I was able to last year on the conference this
year. 

        Specifically, I won't be able to "lead" the sponsorship
effort. If someone on this list can volunteer to handle the accounts, I
can send him my notes and open threads so that they can follow up.

Thanks

Subject: [Inpycon] CFP and talk selection
Message-ID: <878vtpiml9.fsf@sanitarium.localdomain>


I just got back from RubyConf India 2011 today. There are lots of things
about the way that they did which I like, don't mind and dislike but one
thing really struck me regarding talk selection. 

They had just 2 tracks and 5 or 6 talks per track per day during the
event. That's a total of 20 tracks. Most of the talks were web (Rails)
or tools (parts of the agile process) as far as I can tell.

We should I think go this route. Reduce the number of tracks and talks
and keep only the cream of the cream. I'll try to get some of the core
devs to review the submissions we have and make selections. The thrust
of what I'm saying is that it might be a good idea to value quality over
quantity. 

Another important point is the wifi. We should outsource it someone and
actually pay them to get it right. It can really drench a parade when
the wifi is br0ken. 

Thoughts?

This is useful. One thing is for sure - sharing wifi with laptops is not
going to cut it.

Simple question,

How much can we budget? Or rather how much are we willing to pay? I had set
up a wi-fi network last year in Mumbai, and it costed us a bomb. I am not
able to remember the figures, but I guess I have the complete cost structure
of Interop where they provided wi-fi at any point to at least 600 people
which I can fish out somewhere. I'd say we will have at the maximum 250
people ( considering around 600 delegates, but only 40% will carry laptops)
who may connect, and that's a significant figure.

I completely support Noufal on both points on quality/quantity of talks and
wi-fi.

 +1, all are excellent points.
Regarding your signature,probably that is the reason why we see more of
 women ghosts than male ghosts in the films.

If we are going this route, we should actively hunt for the good
Pythonistas in the country and get them to put in submissions.

Kunal sent an email to the organisers of the recent KDEConf in Bangalore
for which they leased a broadband connection from Tata Indicom. 

It looks a little pricey but apparently, this kind of thing is
possible. 

Anyone palsy with any of the broadband providers in Pune who can take
this up to see if it leads anywhere?
