Proposal for panel discussion
by vijay kumar July 27, 2016

July 27, 2016

Hi All, Am not sure, if we have a topic for Panel Discussion. If not, I propose "Open Source Projects Support". I feel this will be an interesting topic to discuss in an event like PyCon India. There are lot many open source projects like Django, SSL that are running out of funds to support core developers. This can be a forum to discuss how to improvise the situation, what can be done to bring more awareness on open source projects, how to reach out to organizations that uses open source to contribute back to the community and stuff. Let me know your thoughts on the same.

Find out what venues **are available in your city and how much it costs. (Last year we were **paying close to 2L/day for NIMHANS). *** PyCon India requires a lot of sponsorships to meet the expenditure. **Major part of the sponsorships usually comes from the hosting city. Show **the community that you can raise sponsorships by getting at least a couple **of sponsorships from your city for this year's PyCon India. *** PyCon India gets better every year. We would like that to continue even **after it moves to a different city. You should get involved in running the **event this year and understand the details, so that you don't have to **reinvent them again. * *Interested? Just reply to this mail, showcase us your community by holding a local state level event. This will help you understand all the intricacies involved in managing a conference.

First-cut talk selection for Pycon India
by Gora Mohanty July 25, 2016

July 25, 2016

Hello everyone, We have gone through the submitted talk, and workshop proposals. Our gratitude to all our proposers, and reviewers, for the effort that they put into the CFP. Again, as a community-driven conference, the success of Pycon India is driven by people like you. Thanks to the work already put into the proposals, the CFP committee was able to consider every single talk, and make a final judgement based on various criteria. We found that we did not quite have a sufficient number of talks, and workshops, to entirely fill up three dedicated tracks for two days. Rather than dilute the quality of the accepted proposals, we have chosen to leave some open slots where people can do their own presentations. For this, we will follow the practice of the previous year ( https://in.pycon.org/cfp/pycon-india-2015-open-spaces/proposals/ ), and have an open CFP in a few days time. Proposers who made the first-cut selection have been informed of this fact through the Reviews tab for their talk, and should have received an email. Please do feel free to contact talk-selection(a)in.pycon.org should you have any further queries, or concerns. Regards, Gora

by Kracekumar Ramaraj July 20, 2016

July 20, 2016

Hi All As part of PyCon India, we have reached out to all nominated keynote speakers. Most of the personalities have declined the invitation due to various reasons. We have reached out to Scientific Python and Django core contributors. Most of them are traveling/attending Python-related conferences currently. The Initial reply is positive but no confirmation yet. We will be updating the second keynote speaker in next couple of weeks. -- Regards Kracekumar Ramaraj http://kracekumar.com
