3. Discuss *on the list* to find people who can lead these areas. That's

that year  automatically become leader. This has worked successfully last
year i would request to continue same.

>> That's the plan we follow, but when thing goes beyond certain level we
take over and proceed as show needs to run irrespective of individual or
team issues.

>> It already in-place except few areas which we have identified and
working on improvement on those.
     We are already group of 50 active volunteer last year. Hope to see old
and new volunteer come together and take PyCon India to next level.

Let focus on getting more panelist as talks are critical section of
Conference.
