Prerequisites and Setup- https://github.com/pythonindia/junction Mentors- Anand B Pillai 2. TextBrew - It is a text processing library. It helps to preprocess the text before you feed into a Deep Learner. It is usually the part people least understand and more than often ignore. This library provides a long list of functionalities w.r.t preprocessing. Prerequisites - Python, Regular Expressions, Understanding of English's Grammar. Setup - Install Gensim and Spacy for further details - https://github.com/datawarp/textbrew Mentors - Rishabh Shukla , Mukul Malik 3. SymPy - It is a Python library for symbolic mathematics. Prerequisites- Basics of Python and Jupyter notebook, Mathematical knowledge of calculus. Setup - Install Anaconda Python. Once Anaconda is installed simply type the following in a terminal to install the necessary packages: $ conda install numpy ipython-notebook sympy Other alternative installation instructions can be found here: http://docs.sympy.org/dev/install.html Mentors- Amit Kumar 4. EvalAI- It is an open source web application that helps researchers, students and data-scientists to create, collaborate and participate in various AI challenges organized round the globe.

This would give the team one more month to help manage the conference. I would propose first week of November. We are going to keep the format same as before or, do we need to think about holding dev sprints for 2 days after the event?

The mentors spending time with participants aids them to contribute. So conducting dev sprint on workshop day or separate day[s] maybe be effective. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I spent last day mostly with students at PyDelhiConf and can attest to the energy levels there. We managed to get 3-4 Junction patches done in around couple of hours. Think of how much we can accomplish in a day of dev sprints! This year I would suggest to focus on workshops and dev sprints - 1 day for each. Workshops also need a change in the format with mandatory exercises - I will write a separate note on that.

IMHO, I've been an attendee as well as volunteer for PyCon India as well as PyDelhi Conf from past 2 years. I also attended PyCon Pune 2017 this year and volunteered for it. The whole management was very well done and I liked the idea of two days of conference followed by 2 days of dev-sprints. So I suggest, 2 days with conference + workshops and 2 days separately dedicated to dev-sprints for PyCon India. That gives enough time for mentors to guide and attendees to follow-up on the project. There were a lot of patches submitted upstream to various projects. I was fortunate enough to be one of the dev-sprint attendee and contribute to CPython project. IMHO, dev-sprints are a way for new contributors to get started with any open source project of their choice. They get additional one-on-one support from mentors who are available physically for help. A lot of student and professionals, still struggle to contribute to Open Source because of one or the other reason. In order to change that, as a community conference PyCon India should focus on Dev Sprints to help bringing up new upstream contributors and help in strengthening and promoting the F/OSS culture. I have personally liked a lot of stuff from PyCon Pune conference, and we can surely take inspiration from that for PyCon India 2017 -- I will write a separate note on that.

Launching the conference website is a very small aspect of the massive task ahead. The real work starts when we have to maintain and continuously update it with sponsors, keynote, schedule and what not. I personally, would rather conserve my time and energy for the grunt work ahead [1] (check commit log) or contribute to one of the long running projects powering our CFP [2] and https://pythonexpress.in [3] [1] https://github.com/pythonindia/inpycon2016/commits/master [2] https://github.com/pythonindia/junciton [3] https://github.com/pythonindia/wye Regards -- Anuvrat Parashar http://anuvrat.in -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

While they have done excellent so far, I think that we have a diverse group of volunteers, out of which some are good UX/UI and backend developers. So, this thread is to discuss the possibility of volunteers controlling every aspect of the web development process. As Anuvrat says, "The real work starts when we have to maintain and continuously update it with sponsors, keynote, schedule and what not." and also he is very correct by also stating that we can use that effort to improve some other aspect of the conference.

We should definitely work towards 2 days of dev sprints. > > Friday: workshop > Sat Sun : conference > Mon Tue: dev sprints Some feedback on the venue - these are my observations when I was there some of which I have conveyed directly to Akshay. Making a note of it again here. 1. Distance & Transport a. We need to put a map on the website and make it clear it is a good 1.5 hours drive (approx) from the airport so people can plan their trips. Also write a blog post on different options to come from the airport to the venue - tweet this post so it is circulating. b. Have 3-4 dedicated transport/hotel volunteers who can give directions and help people to commute from airport and nearby hotels to the venue and back. 2. Directions Took me some time to figure out which building the conference is in as I went to the main block. Security cannot be relied upon for this. Need proper direction indicators along the path from gate to the conference block. Once the flow starts its easy. 3. Entrance of block I found the two doors a bit too small for people to walk in and out- this could cause problems and congestion during the conference so need to provide alternate side entrances to the venue. Please consider this important. I would suggest to mark the front doors as only for Entry and suggest people to use other ways to Exit - using back doors. These have to be marked clearly with one-way indicators and [ENTRY], [EXIT] markers. 4. Lunch area & Washrooms The current lunch area was okay for PyDelhi but will be too small for the main conference. Need to provide 2-3 shamiana (pandhals) in the outside area (where they were making rotis) with the walkway separating them for this to scale up. Washing - This was a problem as the Washroom closest to the Lunch area was in repair and people had to walk the breadth of the block to go to the other side. This can be a big problem during the main conference causing cross traffic. Suggest to provide 3-4 separate washing areas (Big Sintex tank/tap + glasses) close to the pandhals, so people can hand wash outside itself and come. 5. Sound Quality of Lecture Halls The two lecture halls were reflecting - even amplifying - a lot of audience noise back to the speaker as they are pretty poor in sound proofing. Suggest to conduct a few test drives where you try various approaches with someone speaking and people talking in the back and see how we can improve the sound absorption and come up with a reasonable solution. People will talk during sessions - so we need to work around it. 6. Projector & Power issue In a talk I attended (Debugging) it took a lot of time for speaker to get started cuz of projector issues. Also power went in between and caused another 5 min delay. The projector quality needs to be improved and make sure backup power is on throughout. 7. WiFI Providing separate passwords for each user is a good idea - but we need to communicate this to the attendee clearly. Not sure how this will scale during the main event with close to 1000 users. Anyway WiFI is always a hit and miss, so lets leave it at that.

Why november? - Delhi's Heat would have somewhat subsided by then. - Team would get some more time to prepare and plan. In the first weekend of November, taking Sanyam's suggestions into account we would have 3 November: Workshop 4, 5 Nov: conference 6, 7 Nov: dev sprints. Do we agree on these dates?
