​Thanks Mani for pitching in on behalf of HydPy , we are in crunch time and
need to take decisions now , Let me reiterate No matter where it happens in
Bengaluru or Hyderabad  we from PyDelhi will co​ordinate and help in making
the event a Success.


What we have

​We have the website in place ​, sponsorship doc done we still some work
with the slots and pricing.
Folks who are ready to volunteer from across India.



​What we need ​

​1. A person who can be Chair
​2. Workgroups and a Core local group
3. A venue  with main hall for around 1500-2000 Seating capacity in one
hall and separate halls around 6 in number with a capacity of 200-300
people seating
4. Internet facility for the participants ( i see ACT as a potential
sponsor they are both in Bengaluru and Hyderabad)
5. We need a call to freeze the timelines then communicate it  to the
mailing list

data by Monday 19th March :-)
