I completely understand that the bazaar way of things don't work.

For all practical purposes a small core group will do the work and not
every planning detail is expected to be shared on the group. But, first
basic intimation of thought of conducting a conference, inviting interested
people to join the core group, a few pointers on the progress and such
information HAS be posted on the group.

That is the level of transparency is required.

Currently, Kushal Das and Chandan Kumar are running this show as if it is
their private conference. I really wonder why Kushal is not holding this
conference under his DGPLUG banner and wants to use the PythonPune banner
to conduct this conference? Historically, I am aware that Chandan wanted to
conduct PyCon 2016 in Pune, but PyDelhi team was much stronger for him to
compete. I believe now Kushal is just enabling Chandan to prove that Pune
can conduct PyPune 2017 or 18. But sadly, using all the wrong methods to do
so.

Anyways, I know that we Indians (99%) have no regard for morals, so even if
something is morally wrong we will still endorse it, in public and will
still attend the conference. We all will eat at an illegal stall and
complain, why the govt. cannot remove these illegal stalls.

Have fun folks

Adi-os!
