A summary by one of the attendees would be useful. -- Cordially, Noufal http://nibrahim.net.in From anandology at gmail.com Mon Jul 2 11:27:46 2012 From: anandology at gmail.com (Anand Chitipothu) Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2012 14:57:46 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] Meeting In-Reply-To: <87y5n2yiz3.fsf@sanitarium.localdomain> References: <87y5n2yiz3.fsf@sanitarium.localdomain> Message-ID: It was a nice meeting. There were 3 attendees, including me, Anand Pillai and Jnana Sagar. We discussed about the following things. * Publicity - We need to spread the word about PyCon India in social networking groups and send posters to various colleges. Anand Pillai and Jnana Sagar signed up for this. Anand Pillai will provide the content for publicity and Jnana Sagar will take care of posting it on Facebook/Twitter etc. * Logo and poster design - We need to design a logo and posters. I'll start new thread about this. * T-shirt design - We should start a t-shirt design competition. May be after logo is finalized. * Startup Row - We discussed the possibility of having a startup row, a place where startups can present they stuff, at the conference. I'll start a new thread about this. * Accommodation - We've been getting queries about accommodation. We need to find hotels nearby and prepare a list. * PyCon India Handbook - We discussed about documenting the stuff we are doing, so that we don't have to redo things like content for invitations, CFP, list of companies to talk to etc. I'll start a new thread about this. Anand Pillai/Jnana Sagar, please add if I missed anything?

LOGO Logo is the important part of branding and we use this on PyCon India website, twitter/facebook and all posters. There are already two logo proposals. * http://ubuntuone.com/16BueLiiB4EltlHyXpP4J1 - by Bihas * https://twitter.com/sia_steel/status/217133046728622080/photo/1/large - by Aakanksha Gaur If you have an eye for design, please design a logo and submit it by replying to this email with a link to the logo. POSTERS We need couple of posters. 1. A4 sized poster - A poster to print and put it on notice boards Here is a sample from 2011 for reference. http://in.pycon.org/2011/static/pyconindia2011-poster.pdf 2. A post-card sized poster to put on websites, blogs and social networking sites. It should just indicate the venue and dates with an attractive logo, background and layout. 3. "I'm attending PyCon India 2012" and "I'm speaking at PyCon India 2012" posters. T-SHIRT DESIGN T-shirt will probably depend on the logo, but we'll need this eventually. I'm sure there are many digital artists in this group with an eye for design. Please show your talent and submit your ideas at: http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndia2012 For a conference like PyCon India, we need volunteers for all things. Every help counts. Thanks, Anand From anandology at gmail.com Mon Jul 2 12:44:05 2012 From: anandology at gmail.com (Anand Chitipothu) Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2012 16:14:05 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] Call for Volunteers: Accommodation Message-ID: Hi, Lot of people come from different cities to attend PyCon India. We need to find hotels near the venue, talk to them and find their rates and see if they are willing to give any discount if booked in group. Also, we need to find less expensive places for students to stay. We usually get a lot of email enquiries few weeks before the conference about this. The venue is between Forum Mall, Koramangala and dairy circle. Ideally the hotel should be within 3 KM from the venue. Please reply to this email and/or update the list of hostels on PyCon India 2012 wiki. http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndia2012/Hotels Thanks, Anand From anandology at gmail.com Mon Jul 2 12:56:17 2012 From: anandology at gmail.com (Anand Chitipothu) Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2012 16:26:17 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] Startup Row Message-ID: Hi, Individuals, corporates and startups are all part of the Python ecosystem. The corporates become part of the conference by becoming sponsors. The sponsorship amounts are usually expensive for startups and it'll be nice if PyCon India can provide a platform for startups to come and present what they are doing and connect with others. US PyCon hosts startup row every year. We can borrow ideas from there. https://us.pycon.org/2012/community/startuprow/ We can have a place and 3 hours of time in the last day of the conference (may be post-lunch) and give a table for each startup to present themselves. It is hard to classify what a startup is. Here is my proposal: * Python must be the core-technology used in the startup. * Smaller than 5 people * Younger than 2 years? (or 3 years) Please let me know what your comments.

It's good that you classified what counts as a startup from pycon context. I request that smaller than 5 people be made to 10. Many startups have 2 cofounders, 2-3 interns, and 1-2 business development guys. Younger than 2 years seems apt, as these are the kind of startups that need exposure.

This makes them look more professional, but it also severely limits the artwork possible. Polo t-shirts are often made of synthetic material to reduce cost. This unfortunately makes them very uncomfortable in the summer (unlike dry-fit t-shirts, which are also synthetic material). I have a whole stack of Barcamp Bangalore t-shirts that I can only wear in the winter. For a corporate delegate, a collarless t-shirt may be unacceptable at work. This is usually the main reason for preferring them. Kiran -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

IMHO round neck T'shirts are way better than collared ones. The fabric that is used for polo shirts is not comfortable at all and this whole "can-be-worn-at-work-on-fridays" argument doesn't make much sense given the target audience of the conference. Moreover, polo shirts are perceived to be worn by "old people" --- all the cool kids wear round-neck t'shirts today. So a +1 for round-neck t'shirts from me.

A lot of companies which we didn't reach out to explicitly mailed us telling us that they want to sponsor the event. If the finances really work out, we might actually have more than one keynote speaker. I can't really say who all are coming since we're just speaking to a bunch of people but it is encouraging. Apart from that, the venue is ready and the swag is being arranged. 200 or so people, from what I hear, have registered and talks are slowly pouring in. If trends sustain, this will spike before the cut off. However, publicity is always necessary and all your efforts to make the event more widely known on social networks, colleges, user groups, companies, mailing lists and other such groups will be invaluable.

We'are doing quite well in terms of sponsorship. Enthought confirmed that thy are sponsoring the conference as platinum sponsor. And couple of gold sponsorships are in the pipeline. We've confirmation for the keynote speaker. Will announce the details shortly. Trying to see if we can get second keynote speaker. If it works out, we'll have 2 keynote talks, one on each day of the main conference. I've deployed a new design of the website. It is based on HasGeek's eventframe software and has a blog integration. It allows editing the content from the admin panel instead of working on the code base. So it is now easier for others to help with the content. http://in.pycon.org/2012/ There are about 11 talks submitted in the funnel. I think it is not bad, but it can become better if we push a little harder on publicity. http://in.pycon.org/2012/funnel/pyconindia2012/ There are about 215 registrations so far and again, publicity will help speed up the registrations. We badly need some posters and may be a logo to brand the conference. Anybody interested to help regarding this? There is BangPypers meeting this saturday (july 21). We'll discuss about PyCon India there. If you are interested to volunteer, please join. http://www.meetup.com/BangPypers/events/71110912/ Anand -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
