Stickers for Python Express
by Anand Chitipothu Feb. 3, 2015

Feb. 3, 2015

Hi, We distributed python stickers last time at the python workshops done as part of Python Month. We would like to do the same this year. One of the issues last time was sending the stickers to speaker in time. We had couple of volunteers, but that didn't workout very well. I've spoken to Isaac of Sticky Stamp and they charge Rs. 6 per piece for 1000 and more. They are open to reduce the price slightly and ready to take care of drop shipping (sending the stickers to speakers directly). I think this is going to be very helpful as we plan to run Python Express though out the year. My plan is to send 200 stickers to each speaker so that he can use them for about 3 workshops. If we order 5000 stickers, that'll cost slightly less than Rs. 30,000. Please let me know if this look alright. Anand

Hi, If we aren't waiting for Anand to setup Python Express, then I suggest writing a quick blog post and start spreading the word on social media.

Hi Any one planning to carry the camera (not mobile camera) for PyCon ? Every year Kushal takes snaps. It would be nice if we can collate the photographs and use it in our blog posts etc ... You can share the photos finally to us from flickr or google plus. We will credit the photographers if we use it in blog post. -- Regards Kracekumar http://kracekumar.com +91 85530 29521

The Audi 2 projection size was perfect. If it's possible to have a bigger projection screen for Audi 1, that would be awesome! -- Utkarsh http://utkarshsinha.com/

Open spaces & lightning talks
by Arvi Krishnaswamy Sept. 28, 2014

Sept. 28, 2014

I'd volunteered yesterday evening to help put together a placeholder deck that could be put up in between sessions and remind people about the open spaces and lightning talks. http://www.slideshare.net/aravindkrishnaswamy/stop-39608418 I've kept the format generic, so it can be reused if needed. Bibhas/Chandan/Konark - hope you can take it from here. I'll be a bit busy first half prepping for the panel. -A

Suggestion For Open Spaces management
by Vinay Dahiya Sept. 27, 2014

Sept. 27, 2014

Since Jaseem talked about the problems faced by him while managing the open space talks during the volunteers gathering in the end today I gave some thoughts maybe we can try them if its possible. I think we can create a public Document on Google Drive or Some else where Jaseem can keep updating the Document with the activities going on and we can display that in every break. If the Document is public and has a short-link we can even use Next speakers laptop to display the schedule. Also we can put that document link on facebook, twitter and maybe on the pycon blog so that anyone interested can directly refer the schedule using link in the posts and get a live updates of whats happening there. -- pyvkd (Vinay Dahiya) http://vinaydahiya.com

Official Twitter Hashtag
by Arvi Krishnaswamy Sept. 27, 2014

Sept. 27, 2014

There was confusion last year about what the official hash tag was on Twitter. I think we saw a combo of: 1) pycon 2) inpycon 3) pyconindia 4) pyconindia2013 5) pyconin It might be a good idea to settle on an official one, and the shorter the better. -A
