Hi All, Thanks to selection panel, we have come up with initial set of talks. We will be reaching out to the individual proposers to get the confirmation on their availability before we publicise the schedule. Since we have good number of talks, we are planning to use Audi 3 as well for regular sessions along with sponsor's sessions. Will be able to provide detailed info once everything is finalised. Next step for the selection panel is to reach out to the proposers for final content and review them. Thanks, Vanitha

[Python Express] Next steps
by vijay kumar Aug. 22, 2015

Aug. 22, 2015

Hi All, Below are my thoughts on how to take python express forward. - Create a separate mailing list [1] and call for volunteers to join mailing list to contribute to the project. - Get admins from different regions so local user groups would have access to manage instead of having a single point of contact. - Make partnership with open source groups like IEEE, FSMK, etc., to spread the word on python express to various colleges and organizations. - Incorporate feedback system with python express so that every tutor and college can share their feedback on the workshop conducted. - We need to review the existing software to analyze available and required features to take it forward. I would request everyone to share their feedback with the software. At present Vanitha, Vignesh , Krace , Sreekanth and me have volunteered ourselves. We need more volunteers for this project for various tasks (below). - Monitor workshop requests from colleges. - Reach out to colleges and create buzz. - Monitor workshop requests to check on the tutor availability for the same, if not call for volunteers in mailing list to proceed. - Triage feature requests/issues on Software and get them implemented. Requesting interested people to join there and take the discussion further there. 1. http://lists.pssi.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pythonexpress Thanks, Vijay
