Re: [Inpycon] [PyCon India 2015] CFP status
by Kracekumar Ramaraju June 22, 2015

June 22, 2015

Past speaking experience shouldn't be only criteria, last year we had instances where proposer didn't submit the content till last week. It should be based on the content, place holder for examples are acceptable. The broader point is to have the content appealable to reviewer and proposer can keep on refining the content. It is pure meritocracy and level playground.

[PyCon India 2015] CFP status
by Vanitha Shanmugam June 22, 2015

June 22, 2015

Hi, As we all know that CFP is closed and we have got 142 submissions, each submission is fine tuned by our reviewers. Reviews for few sections are a little behind, around 20 proposals are yet to be reviewed which we are working on. The idea is proposers prepare the presentation considering the feedback provided by the reviewers and upload the same. Reviewers would review the presentations again and help them make it better. After the presentation review, we would get the voting process started for the reviewers which is an important part of talk selection. The talk selection happens based on the presentation uploaded. Just to update on our present state, we are in the stage of proposal content review and the proposers are requested to upload the presentation. Find the Reviewer Guidelines discussion <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2015-January/009425.html> happened on the mailing list for reference. Looking forward for a great PyCon India! Thanks, PyCon India Team
