Keynote Speaker Suggestions
by Vijay Kumar April 11, 2019

April 11, 2019

Hi Everyone, While we wait for the confirmation of the dates, we can start the keynote speaker selection process. For people new to the conference, the keynotes at PyCon India, are inspiring talks from speakers, that leave a lasting impact on the conference attendees. The keynote speakers also help to tip the scales, for people having second thoughts about attending the conference. This increases participation in the conference and enriches the overall experience of the conference. As indicated in the proposal we will be having 4 keynote speakers. Please send in your keynote speaker suggestion, to the mailing list. Please send in one keynote speaker suggestion per mail, containing a brief description about the speaker. If you like a suggestion, use +1 style voting to indicate preference for a particular keynote speaker. Once the dates are confirmed, we will ping the keynote speakers in the order of preference. Regards, Vijay

CFP announcement - request for feedback
by Abhishek Yadav April 1, 2019

April 1, 2019

Hello friends, We're almost ready for the CFP announcement, and thought it would be a good idea to get the community's feedback on the communication. Please have a look here: https://in.pycon.org/2019/cfp.html The document contains quite a few policy related details, while most of it is about the process itself. We're planning to use this it outside the programming community as well, so the language is bit generic. Please share you thoughts and questions. Regards, Abhishek

Inviting volunteers for CFP workgroup at Pycon-India-2019
by Abhishek Yadav March 20, 2019

March 20, 2019

Hello friends, We are looking for volunteers at the CFP workgroup for Pycon-India this year. The CFP volunteering would involve the following responsibilities: - Getting proposals complete and ready for review (proposal-support) - Conducting rehearsals - Upkeep and maintenance of the CFP software It might sound trivial, but proposal-support is the most time-consuming part of the CFP process. Most of the proposals we get, while being promising, lack a lot in terms of detail. A volunteer must check each proposal, and follow-up with the authors to have them complete it. In the absence of adequate volunteer support, this task also falls on the reviewers, who are usually short on bandwidth. There were around 300 proposals last year - you can imagine how tough it would be for a small team to handle. Therefore we thought of inviting volunteers to the CFP team this time. Volunteers will not be reviewing and voting on the proposals - that will still be done by a team of experts, as before. But by sharing the workload across a bigger team, we aim to make reviewer experience better and the process more efficient in general. Also, we're planning to do rehearsals this year. We tried it at Pysangmam last year, and it was really helpful. Most speakers were able to finish their talks in time, and we were able to bet more on students. It did take a little extra effort on our side, but results show it is worth trying at any conference. (We'll share more details in the CFP announcement soon) The volunteers will be needed to conduct the rehearsals. Most rehearsals will happen online, so the volunteers will need to sit through the talks over Skype and share feedback. And lastly, the CFP application (junction) also needs some community love. There is a bunch of work to be done there, and CFP volunteer team seem like the right people to step up for it. If all this sounds good, please join us by filling the form [1]. There's only one pre-requisite - you should not be planning to apply for a talk. This is make sure there are no conflicts of interest. It will also be great if you are involved with the community in some way - anything however small, is good. This will be a interesting opportunity to to witness first hands how the CFP process happens, to make it better and to contribute to the community in general. Let us know your thoughts (even if you're not planning to volunteer). Cheers, Abhishek Yadav CFP workgroup, Pycon-India [1]: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSft1amnhwn5SMGzgpTzmfOBN9xNwT_WdNe… PS: We are already in touch with the team from last year, and are reaching out to some members individually as well.
