[Inpycon] Call to Local User Groups interested in hosting PyCon India for next year

[qua non]

*Hello everyone,
**Every year at AGM of PSSI we decide where to host PyCon India for
next **year. This year(2016) the conference is being hosted in Delhi.
*

*Running PyCon India is very big effort, interested local group should
do** some homework and convince the community that they can run the
conference** effectively.*

*Here is what you can do now.*

** Call for a meeting in your city, preferably in the python user-group
**mailing list and discuss with everyone.
*** PyCon India requires a venue of 1200+ capacity. Find out what
venues **are available in your city and how much it costs. (Last year
we were **paying close to 2L/day for NIMHANS).
*** PyCon India requires a lot of sponsorships to meet the
expenditure. **Major part of the sponsorships usually comes from the
hosting city. Show **the community that you can raise sponsorships by
getting at least a couple **of sponsorships from your city for this
year's PyCon India.
*** PyCon India gets better every year. We would like that to continue
even **after it moves to a different city. You should get involved in
running the **event this year and understand the details, so that you
don't have to **reinvent them again.
*

*Interested? Just reply to this mail, showcase us your community by
holding a local state level event. This will help you understand all
the intricacies involved in managing a conference. This will also
showcase to use that you have a community that is capable of helping
you out with the event.*


*Regards*

*Team PyCon India 2016*
