Hi,

It seems that the security certificate for in.pycon.org expired on 12th
February. Whoever has access, please renew this.

Also, while this may be an unrelated question, but is anyone actively
involved right now for the organization of PyCon India 2018? Given that the
original core team had withdrawn, what is the current state of the
organizing team?

If there is no team in place and no one is actively involved, what can be
done to resolve the stalemate?

Best Regards,
Ankur Gupta

Hi,

On the behalf of Python community, I want to address your question. Yes,
the community is working on the decisions. So, someone will surely update
about PyCon India 2018.

Once community finalise the decision they will definitely reach out to
volunteers. If. I wrote something wrong please correct me.

Thanks

Hello everyone,
      I think it's past time we made a decision about what to do. There
have been a few emails about a lack of response and other such matters
and things need to be sorted out. 

      Unless there are atleast 2 or 3 people willing to take the lead,
the conference is not going to happen. Volunteers for the ground work
and other such details are present and can be mobilised but there's no
one at the helm. This needs to be fixed. If some of the people here
who've worked on the conference have the time and inclination to get
into the drivers seat, please chime in. Then, we can get the whole show
back on the road.

      We can discuss details about how large the conference should be
and other details on the list but the first thing to decide is who
should take the lead. 

      Please reply to this thread and let's see where we can take this.

Thanks

The Python community from all around India has voiced on this mailing list,
that they would still like to see PyCon India happen this year.

Satyakaam, Rajat Saini, Sanyam Khurana, Jaidev Deshpande, Shahank Kumar,
Piyush Aggarwal, Akash Misra(to name just a few) from last years organizing
team have all personally voiced to me that they would like to help out as
much as possible remotely in this regard. Not to mention the numerous of
volunteers who already voiced here on the mailing list that they would like
to help out. I along with the rest of them would like to raise our hands
and offer our assistance.

One of the basic understandings that we worked with last time was that even
though there is one person who is named as chair,
it's mostly the organizing committee that makes the decision by consensus
among them based on inputs from the community and feasibility.


*From the suggestions I got from personally talking to people it was
suggested we start from scratch re discussing the following questions with
input from community. *

1) Guidelines that make sure a enforceable code and conduct for::
      - Communication e-mail or otherwise
      - On code/issues on github
      - Every-one to be treated equally, noobs or veterans

 2) Make sure we have a strong local community that is ready and willing to
do the ground work.

 3) Revise the Conference scale, venue and sponsorship details based on
time and budget allocation.

 3) Discuss on roles and a start up with a reverse timeline for the
conference along with responsibilities.

 4) Conference structure: Some one suggested to look at euro python as a
structure, maybe we could look at other conferences and incorporate some
good feasible parts into this years PyCon.

 5) Communication medium, irc or Telegram or mailing list or Matrix....

 I think we should start individual threads to discuss all this, get these
threads sorted asap and start with the organising efforts for PyCon India.

 P.S. PyCon India is a community driven event, it is for and by the
community. The community spans all across "India". This would involve
collaboration from Python Communities all around India. Even from python
communities across the world.

Agree with this. we can start with handful of people taking charge of
different large sections of the conf, and then go to deciding a chair if
it's at all needed. I can think of few large roles that are as less coupled
with each other as possible -

 0. Ticketing - Decide ticket price, get ticket sale up and running. Stay
in touch with other teams(editorial, venue, accounts) to manage pricing and
inventory.
 1. Sponsorship - we need a dedicated team here, people who have had
experience with sponsors are preferred because as I've learned from my
previous experience and how Vijay has shown, it's not an easy matter to
deal with sponsors.
 2. Venue - as we've already booked a venue, we need someone to get the
line of connection with them back up, and then keep in touch with them
throughout the event to keep track of deliverable and make sure things are
in place.
 3. Editorial - get CFP up and running and decide on talks. We need a team
here who has had experience in judging proposals and dealing with speakers,
and if we have speakers from out of town, keep track of what they need.
This includes keynote speakers as well. This team has a lot of work in
ensuring a good conference.
 4. Volunteer management - We need someone who's had experience dealing
with groups of volunteers. This group will make sure we have enough
volunteers for each group
 5. Accounts - Shree can probably help here and suggest how to handle the
funds
 6. Tech - Website, Social media. These are the easier moving parts, but
we'll need people who are good at writing and content for these roles
 7. Internet - We need a team here to talk to ISPs, figure out connections
at the venue, check inventory and buy things if needed
 8. Food - We need a team to find out food vendor, figure out pricing and
go food tasting before the event and make sure people are well fed

Some additional things I can think of -
 9. Childcare - it's good to have a childcare available so that parents can
also visit without worry.
10. COC - we need couple of dedicated people to enforce the code of conduct
and handle disputes if any arises. This team can intersect with any other
team.
11. Photographer - We need photographs of the events. Of course attendees
are encouraged to click photos themselves and share. But it'll be nice to
have a dedicated photographer if fund allows.

?These items are not sorted according to priority or importance. Each
section is equally important in ensuring a good conference. So we need
people who are dedicated and can spare time. This will take up a lot of
your time. And if you're chipping in, you need to be ready to see if
through the end.

We can also work on a conference guideline to make sure things get done
properly. Something like the one TEDx has -
https://www.ted.com/participate/organize-a-local-tedx-event/before-you-start/tedx-rules
We can modify it and come up with a set of guidelines that works for us.

And I would like to personally request all the community members who have
been supporting PyCon India for years, and have drifted apart for personal
or otherwise reasons, to try and come back and help organize this
conference. I'd like to see an even focused on quality, and not quantity.

And I'd also like to reach out to all the local Python user groups in India
to come and help. For most ground works, we'll need people who stay around
Bangalore. But volunteers from other cities are always welcome to help any
way they can.

My few opinions. Please add, comment and correct.?

Glad that your yours are interesting to take a big role.

While it is mostly team work, there will case where someone has to make a
hard decisions, IMHO.

I think there is still lot of interest from local community to volunteer.
IMO it'll pick up when things start moving.

Agree. Why don't you start a thread on it to kick start discussion on that
front?

One of the issues with PyCon India has been that we end of reassembling
every year. What I liked about EuroPython is that they have workgroups for
talk selections, sponsorships etc. and each of them work fairly
independently (as understood) and the same team continues for the next year
even if the conference moves to a new country.

I think it is important for us to have such teams and also make sure that
it has participation from all the major cities in India.

Anything works, but it is important to keep this mailing list in the loop
for all important decisions and announcements.

I think we are already pretty late. Please start email threads for all
important discussions ASAP.

Message-ID: <CAC7wXFz8CxN_5UJz-Xun8Fw655-kLGA+CG-RGeDqG6wz-3THFQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Everyone,

I would like to propose having permanent workgroups for PyCon India just
like europython[1].

Think of something like sponsorships. We usually have people running the
conference looking at sponsorships, which is usually focused on host city.
We hardly keep contact with our past sponsors. Wouldn't it is nice to have
a team of volunteers across all the major cities and coordinating?

The plan is to have one workgroup for each of talk selection, sponsorship,
website etc. and people in the workgroup continue even if the location
changes. This will make sure that the institutional knowledge is preserved
and moving conference to a new place is not that hard and we don't end up
reinventing everything again and again.

Each workgroup will more more or less independently, coordinating with the
conference team. Volunteers can join one or more workgroups of their
interest.

We can start with the following workgroups and create more as the need
arises.

Progam WG - talk selection/voting, scheduling, session chairs,
sprint/openspace/keynote/lightning talks, Python for young coders

Sponsors WG - sponsor contacts, sponsor logistics, room/booth assignment

Web WG - website management, issue tracking

Marketing Design WG - brochures, banners, flyers, t-shirts, lanyards,
badges, panels, logo

Media WG - video recording, live streaming, uploads to YouTube

Did I miss any other important ones?

Please share you thoughts and feel to suggest if you have any
alternative/better ideas.

+ 1
Like EuroPython, we should also set up a Google form to let people apply to
the workgroups. For now, I think you, Anand C, should be the one receiving
the applications until we have quorum.

This sounds interesting. I went through the link but could not get enough info about how these independent workgroups coordinate. How are these workgroups anchored together to make the event a success? How does EuroPython do this?

Wrote to someone I know at EuroPython asking for more details. I'll update
once hear back.
