Bringing tickets to the venue
by Noufal Ibrahim Sept. 15, 2011

Sept. 15, 2011

Last year, there were a bunch of chaps who didn't bring printouts of the ticket to the venue. We need to put this information boldly in a couple of places to reduce the number of people who will do this this year. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in Some bird populations soaring down -Headline of an article in Science News, page 126, February 20, 1993.

Twitter Applet ?

Any reason why we removed the live twitter feed box from the conf site ? This helps only to remove the buzz and IMHO is not helping the conference. Please re-enable it. -- --Anand

accomadations

Aug. 20, 2011

Hi, We have 475+ registrations so far. Here is split by city: 269 pune 84 mumbai 22 bangalore 13 delhi 12 chandigarh 10 hyderabad 10 chennai 7 aurangabad 5 manipal 5 goa 4 indore 4 gandhinagar 4 coimbatore 3 jaipur 2 vellore 2 udaipur 2 trivandrum 2 reston, va 2 kolkata 2 bhimavaram (ignored the cities with just one attendee, considered while NCR as delhi and combined mysore and bangalore). There are more than 200 people coming from outside. Even if you takeout people from mumbai, it is going to be more than 100 people. I think it is a good idea to approach couple of hotels and ask for bulk discounts. Comments? Anand

Hi, I keep hearing different names for the venue. On the website, it is mentioned as "Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research, Pune" and in other places I've seen it as "Symbiosis, Vishwabhavan, S.B. Road, Pune”. Are both the same? Can someone please clarify this and let me know if the website needs to be updated. Anand

Aug. 15, 2011

There was *some* discussion about the reimbursement policy for students but nothing was really finalised. If we can decide on the matter and put up a page/blog post, I could send it to the people who contact me regarding this. Thanks. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in I tripped over a hole that was sticking up out of the ground.

Low-budget accommodation at Pune
by Anand Chitipothu Aug. 10, 2011

Aug. 10, 2011

Hi, I've received couple of emails from asking for help in finding low-budget accommodation. Rs. 500/- per night at max. The lowest price available on http://in.pycon.org/2011/accomodation is Rs. 1000/- and that might not work for students. Can some one suggest some alternatives? Anand
