Hi,

I was looking at in.pycon.org website today and suddenly it started
showing some nilgiris site and it came back after sometime. stats went
off for sometime and came back again. I hope everything is alright
now.

Do we have regular backup of the database of the website?

Message-ID: <9963e56e0908012308k3bac50b4q2f716ccf7c6ceeab@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,
   The Barista where we planned to meet has shut down so we (Anand C.,
Kunal and myself) met at the Java City opposite to the place and
talked about the event. I didn't see any guys at the Barista so I'm
assuming we were the only ones who were there.

    There was some specific talk about the venues, talks etc. but the
main thing which we did was to breakdown the whole organisation into a
number of disjoint tasks. I have listed them out at the following URL
along with the owners
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndiaVolunteers. This is basically an
extension of  Kunal's tracking sheet to keep things under control.

    All the items have owners except for Food, Stationery and
infrastructure. Someone should step up for those. Remember, if you're
leading something, it doesn't mean you have to *do* everything under
it. Just make sure that everything's done. In short, delegate.

    Please take a look see.

Thanks.

P.S. : Ravi, you volunteered for the T-shirts but I've put you on the
top for the swag kit which is a superset of just the T's. Let me know
if this is not okay.

Here's a draft of the content for the poster which we have to make and
put up. Let me know what you guys think
The poster will have 3 sections. The logo, the venue/date/time and the
blurb. The first two are already fixed. The blurb suggestion is below.

========================================================================================================================================
PyCon India 2009
-------------------------
The first Programmers conference specifically devoted to the Python
language is being held in Bangalore this September. We invite you all
to join, benefit and make the event a success.


What is PyCon?
-----------------------
PyCon is a volunteer driven conference specifically focussing on all
aspects of the Python language and it's community. PyCons are held
throughout the world and all of them are organised by volunteers
passionate about the language and their community. This is first time
a PyCon is being held in India and it promises to be a fun filled two
days of all things Python.

We deliberately keep the registration fees and other expenses low to
maximise participation. This is a community event aimed at growing the
Python community in India.


What is Python?
-----------------------
Python is a very high level dynamically typed programming language
that is growing very rapidly in the corporate and open source spheres.

It's emphasis on cleanliness and programmer productivity has won it
many admirers. Large companies like Google, Rackspace, Industrial
Light and Magic, Youtube etc. use Python in their core applications.

A large number of powerful Open Source applications like Zope, Mailman
etc. are built using Python and have active development communities
around them.

Whether you're looking for an opportunity to develop your technical
skills or to further your career opportunities, Python is something
you should be aware about.

How do I participate?
------------------------------
You can be part of a the conference by registering at http://in.pycon.org/2009
We look forward to seeing you there.
========================================================================================================================================

Please comment. Once this is finalised, Kunal can take up the actual
design and printing.


Thanks

I talked to a company here that does Audio/Video recording. They do a
good job (my company used their services).
Their prices are like so
- 4k per unit per day. We have 3 parallel tracks for 2 days. That makes it 24k
- They charge 200 INR per CD which they convert and burn (or 600 per
2hr DVD). This will cost us 4000 (20 talks, one per CD).

A total of around 30k.

Does anyone else know of people in this field? Are these rates
reasonable? Should we search some more? Anyone with contacts?

We need to get this finalised by the end of the week so that Ravi can
order the shirts...

I suggest that we get the logos from the page that Roshan posted and
replicate them on the wiki (perhaps add the few that came on this
list). We'll vote for a day or two and then sign off.

The basic details of a black T shirt with the logo in colour on the
chest and a slogan at the back are agreed upon I presume?

Thanks

Really really last minute idea.

 we seem to be having a lot of phrases and we will never get to a consensus
. so why cant we list down the top 10 in a readable font size? paraphrase it
like http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/ . perhaps even put a >>> interpreter
sign as bullets ??

Can someone step up to trim the list at

We'll vote on the remaining ones for a day and then give the orders to

So we have a winner
   I'm not really a Wizard. I just use Python.


I personally feel that it's a bit too direct. I'd love to have a Monty
Python reference in there but hey... the people have spoken. :)

So, PyCon India logo on the chest,
This slogan on the back
Black T with white text.

Those are the specs. If there are no objections, I think we can give
the order to print 350 of them. IS that okay?  There are 345 people
registered and not all are going to come (OTOH, there will be some
spot registrations). 350 or 400 or more?

normally less than 50% of registrants turn up, but looking at the list I think 
we should get at least 80% plus walkins - so it looks like 350

So the details are decided.
 - White T-shirt with logo on the chest and slogan on the back
 - No. of shirts = 350

Ravi,
  Can you get some quotations on how much this will cost us? We can't
really give the order till we get some sponsorship cash

Thanks

You can check the accommodations page linked to from the site. There
are some suggestions there.
Since this is the first time we're doing this, we couldn't handle
formal accommodations for outstation delegates. Perhaps the next time
onwards.

Hello everyone,
   We had some inputs from a potential sponsor who wants a list of the
registration details of all the delegates. We don't officially have a
privacy policy on the website but (atleast my) general idea is that
these details are private.

   The chap in question has promised not to spam them or misuse the
details and since this is a reputed company, I think that they'll be
worth their word. They claim that they ask for this information for
all the conferences which they sponsor.

   Do you folks think that this is an acceptable way to go?

   I'd value your opinions as quickly as possible since we've got to
get back to the chaps by tomorrow.

Thanks much.

Could you ask them to clarify what they will do with the
addresses, and also ask whether they are willing to provide
a privacy policy in writing? With all due respect to the
company in question, this sounds fishy.

Since I have put in no effort for this conference, you can take
my opinion for what it is worth, but I would be very much opposed
to allowing sponsors access to delegate lists for a community
conference. So much so that I would not normally attend a
conference where I was aware that such a policy was in effect.

Gora

It's well known and accepted practice for conferences in India, that
delegate addresses are often shared with sponsors. I am not sure about the
FOSS.in and similar conferences, but commercial conferences this is an
accepted norm.

I think you must go ahead and sign in the sponsorship if its worthwhile,
however you must explore whether this is an accepted practice for official
Pycons at other places

Its not about privacy policy. Its unethical as a part of conference
organisers.  Although the registered delegates list is publicly
available. You can get them in one of links . Atleast none of the open
source related conferences in India do that. But many commercial
conferences do this. For a programming language conference, one of the
motive might be hiring.

Thats cool.

Its up to the conference board, Stake holders to decide it. Its a

That was what I felt too but on reflection, it's a little more nuanced
than 'fishy'.

We emphasise (in our brochures and site) the the *main* thing a
sponsor gets is access to a pool to talent where they might be able to
hire people. This translates into freedom to host a stall at the
conference (asking for contact information) and handing out their
brochures as part of the swag kit (spam?).

The email addresses is the next step in this and while my gut reaction
is rejection, I'm not totally sure about it.

It's a question of tradeoff. I would be *much* more comfortable had
someone with more experience with conferences brought this up at the
beginning so that we could put a privacy policy on the site upfront.

Given that we didn't, we have to make a decision right now. I don't
feel strongly about either choice to make a decision myself which is
why I'm soliciting your opinions. In this day and age, we need money
to get things going and money never comes for nothing. Sponsors have
needs and the question is whether this is justified.

Suppose I told you right now that sponsors might have access to the
details on the site, would you cancel your registration and not
attend? I'm not asking you this confrontationally but I want to know
how strongly people are against this.

I believe Kenneth was actively involved with FOSSconf. How did that
go? Also, there was freed.in.

The details like whether they *needed* sponsors or whether it was
wholly held by a single entity that had enough etc. have to be
factored in while evaluating their choices.

Take a written privacy policy.

Then we have no problem, I think.

the conference should be for all. that is our aim.

now also, I am going to spend almost 600 for conference.

much money for accomodation and journey.

Please offer accomodation.

Maybe so, and you are the best judge of that. Nevertheless,
I do think that you should ask for a  written privacy policy.

To the best of my knowledge, none of the major free software
conferences in India provide their sponsors with access to
delegate lists.

I realise that this is not a FOSS conference.

I strongly disagree. In my opinion, this would be an unethical
step. But again, this is something for people putting in time and
effort into inpycon to decide.

Couple of things:
o I did not mean to be confrontational either, and sorry if it came
  across as that way. As mentioned above, I agree that people
  putting effort into a conference have the absolute right to decide
  among themselves how to run it.
o I was not sure if I am attending inpycon, due to issues with a
  lack of time, but if such were the policy, yes, I would not
  attend. I emphasise again that this is just a personal opinion
  with regards to community conferences, and it is not like I am
  about to start a big dharna about it.

This has come up. I think is the consensus is that we need to

Okay. We have some organisers here on this list. I'm sure they'll

Yes. This is true.

Okay. So we have a -1, one +1 and I think one +0.

Okay.

If I had to sacrifice attendance for sponsorship, I would say no so
this is a valuable bit of input from you.

Opinions? I'm not aware of such things being given out during general
conferences but perhaps we could have *something* atleast for the
tutorial marathon?

We have often gotten this request from corporate sponsors and even
some people who claimed to be a sponsor but were not. We have never
given out this information to sponsors. We do have on our registration
form an opt-in for receiving e-mails from the PSF/Organizers, but this
does not include sponsors.

Instead we created a linked-in non-profit Conference group account and
whitelisted all registrants who checked off they were willing to
receive e-mails from us. This whitelist is not used by linked-in, nor
is a request sent unless you specifically ask for this. Those people
whom already have an account on linked in will notice that they can
join the group by clicking a button when they log in (or they can
dismiss it). We also allowed the sponsors to join the linked in group.

this provides a direct targeted group for the sponsors. These are only
people interested in actually hearing from sponsors, and provides a
single group e-mail address for them to contact attendees, and
provides them with much greater demographic information via public
profiles. This is a win-win for both attendees and sponsors.

If a anyone abuses the group (sponsor or attendee), as the maintainer
of the group you can remove them and block them.

I have only heard of one person not being satisfied by this option.
They had spammed the pycon-reg mailing list trying to get the
information and would never say exactly which sponsor they represented
(the e-mail was from a hotmail address.)

The create group page is here:
http://www.linkedin.com/createGroup?displayCreate=

and lists the control options.
You can upload a simple CSV file for a whitelist.

I require non-whitelisted accounts to be approved by the admins as we
get a bunch of marketing firms and sales people trying to join to
harvest information otherwise. I always check the requests against the
attendee list and request information from people whom do not match.
Most I never hear back from, the rest are up front about what they are
after.

Hope this helps.

No. It does not work that way.

Certificate can give you a false sense of accomplishment for attending
a conference.

If you want the conference to be helpful to you, do the following.

 1) Submit a Talk. Prepare and present it well.
 2) Listen to the talks by others and gain knowledge.

I am -1 against it.. Its against the delegates privacy and we cannot
provide it because we have not informed the delegates that we may take
such a measure.

However, the sponser can present himself with a register at the
conference and possibly get the details from the willing candidates.

May ask to fill a resume too.

BTW, expect for Ramdas, who said this is norm, I do not find anyone
aware or agreeing to this policies, so far.

And also its our call, irrespective of how other conferences do.

Let me clarify. I have never been involved with any community/open source
conference, and all I have been involved have been commercial conferences,
and as far as I remember, most sponsors insist on the delegate details to
maximize the bucks they spend. Of course sometimes we charge extra for the
information and that's purely the organizer's business.

Ultimately commercial conferences organized by some of us are meant for
profit, and it creates employment for many people, unlike a voluntary
attempt like Pycon India.

It's really a community call and all I said was I am OK with delegate
details including whatever details I might fill up be made available to
everyone. This is just my personal suggestion, and I respect that others
might feel that have their details available to a sponsor might be a breach
of privacy.

The idea behind some of us taking part in a conference like this is to meet
and network with other Pythonistas may be to employ them or be employed, or
purely learn from others. And unless the sponsor is some credit
card/insurance company (which I hope it's not), I see no reason why someone
is not OK in receiving an email or two.

Please note that in a paid conference (ie when you are taking more than 1
rupee from a person to attend the conference), the delegate is free to fill
up only the details he or she wants to fill up or fill up whatever they want
to. May be you dont want to give your phone number or email id, dont give it
or even can attend the conference under an incognito.


But whatever be the policy we'll need to make it clear to both sponsors,
delegates and other stake holders. Transparency is very important, and the
delegates must be made fully aware in advance that the delegate list will be
shared with sponsor(s), so they can choose to fill the delegate form
accordingly. Well, that's if we take a call on sharing information.

To avoid further tansgression over this topic, Noufel, perhaps you can
advise us what are the chances of getting enough sponsorships without making
too much of commitments.

the only detail here that is private is the email address of the delegates. 
The remaining details are on the site. We have a bulk mail feature in the site 
(only accessible to admins) to mail all the delegates. We just need to ask the 
delegates whether their email address may be disclosed to the company or not. 
Most would agree. We disclose the addresses of those who agree - we anyway do 
not have a right to disclose those addresses that are intended to be private 
but since they have given the addresses without clarifying this point they 
cannot sue us. We are also the judge as to whether the company is likely to 
spam. Let us leave out all the high falutin BS about ethics and privacy and be 
practical. If this is decided we can make a post on the website asking those 
who want to keep their email private to tick the appropriate box in their 
profile. And we need to add a box to the profile. Since no one reads posts on 
websites, we also need to decide whether the default of that box should be 
private or public. I suggest the default be 'public'.

no one asked for the list in fossconf - if anyone had, we would have consulted 
the delegates and given the list. After all they are giving money and we 
should oblige them to the maximum extent legally possible

Agreed.  +1 to having email addresses public (shareable with sponsors,
not publicly listed) by default with an opt-out feature on the
website, and sending mails asking people to explicitly go change
settings if they care about keeping their email address private.

Thanks for the clarifications, Ramdas.
I think, I misunderstood you and I was worried if you said it was a
'norm'.

Thank you for puttings things in right perspective.

Hi,

No, it does not. It doesn't tell me if you are *capable* of any work.
And your work should reflect on itself, rather than having to ask
people for a certificate.

If you are able to help a Python project during and after the
conference/unconference with some development, or testing, or
documentation, or bug-fixing, this work should reflect your
credentials, and not the one you have mentioned.

In this regard, I request the organizers to put a webpage for listing
contact name, e-mail of people who require people to join their
Python-based projects.

I agree with Aneesh.

Certificates help students while attending interviews and they help add
weight to their resumes.They boost their chances of getting admission in a
college for higher studies or getting a job.But a certificate for just
attending the conference as a delegate is not worthy.But certificates should
be given to people who are taking active part in organising the conference
and who are oresenting talks,so that they could use it as a reference during
their job interviews or during interviews for getting admission in
universities for higher studies.They do matter for students.Please consider
this seriously.

Aditya

If you have registered as a delegate, by a suit, have your picture taken and 
upload that to your delegate profile. Also put a lot of information about 
yourself in the bio on your profile. You will become famous.

We should take some kind of written letter or something from the company
saying that they dont spam the delegates or misuse the info.

1. This is not really PyCon specific although I do see a place for it
in an informal session *after* the conference.

I'm -0 on this personally. If someone can pick this up and let me know
what they need, we might be able to get it done. I'm not for actively
spending time and energy doing this.

Keeping it as an 'opt out' feature would benefit us although it's a
little shady IMHO. I think a bulk mail would be the right way to go.
After that, we can go ahead and do this. What will be the reply-to
address for the bulk email sent out from the site?

again - the fact that you spoke at the conference is available for all time on 
the website - if you want to become famous do as I said in my previous mail

not been decided yet - someone at in.pycon.org - tell me what you want and to 
whom it should be directed, and I will set it up and you can go ahead and send 
the mail. I will also add the opt-out checkbox to the profile page and make a 
post regarding it.

Since they're new to the language, I don't think they'll be in a
position to give a talk.

Many employers (correctly or otherwise) value  'certificates'
indicating experience with technologies (you know the RH, MS and Cisco
certs.)

Something like that would help people who are looking for employment.
It can be a differentiator.

While my most of my feelings towards 'certificates' are negative, I do
understand what Aneesh is saying and feel that his point holds some
merit. However, someone has to step up and take responsibility for
this. I'm not going to spread us around too thin. More important
things need to be taken care of.

Thanks.

there are a couple of comments on the talk asking this question. Please 
clarify on the site if you have not already done so.

contact at in.pycon.org. Forward it to pycon at nibrahim.net.in. I can
filter it then and respond/delegate appropriately. I'm not looking
forward to replying to 300 odd mails though. :(

Can we test it once before you actually do it?

Also, I remember a conversation mentioning that we need to add an MX
record for in.pycon.org to point to your server if we want it to
handle mail. I don't know if this is done yet.

am able to both send and receive mail from webmaster at in.pycon.org without the 
MX record - and for several other domains also, so it will work.

Hi,

My thoughts below:

The problem is that you will end up with "students" coming only for
the certificate, who wouldn't care much for Python, and you will end
up spending some amount of the money for these certificates.

You will also be disturbed after the conference for certificates from
"students" who claim to have attended the conference, but, not
received any, and who will demand certificates without anything listed
on it, so they could fill them with the names of their friends.

It is not a differentiator because everyone will end up having a
certificate. If HR are going to look into it, and accept them for the
certificate (a shame!), and not for their *competency*, then the
project team is doomed, because it still doesn't tell us if the
individual is *capable* of any work.

Agreed.

I (like most students in India) know exactly how the certificate system
works. The majority of students come or register for the certificates,
so that they have something to show at college to account for the two
days they spent (most probably) doing something else.

In my opinion, those who are really interested (which is the target
audience I believe), will come regardless of whether or not certificates
are provided.

I am not opposed to providing certificates for people who contribute
something, like speakers or sprinters or volunteers. I am however
against giving certificates simply for attendance.

Certificates for those giving talks or organising sessions makes
sense. Why should it be given to conference attendees? What are they
contributing?
If such an amount is to be spent, rather keep small tokens of
appreciation which the speaker/session holder can give out to the
people who contribute to the topic by making useful contribution eg.
asking worthy questions, making useful additions to the discussed
points. Or it could be even spent on the volunteers for all the
efforts they put in.
Just my opinion to the topic.

Then it's settled. No certificates for attending.

I don't think volunteers and presenters need certificates either. It
does sound a little dated and weird to me.

I am too late into the conversation, but my thoughts is very similar to
Ramdas and I suggest +1 without elaboration.

Let us be practical and make sure we have the right support going to the
conference which is approaching near.

  If you are looking at a way to indicate to a prospective employer of your
  contribution to a conference, you could always write a few lines in your
  resume and provide a URL as reference and even cite the conference
  co-ordinates as references in your resume. I think that is good enough.

  Btw, I am not convinced that any employer gives a lot of thought to
  your contribution to conferences et cetera unless they are looking at
  a position which is related to organizing and technology evangelism.
  Most of the time they are only interested in whether you have the
  skills to get the job done, which they ascertain during their interview
  process anyway. Believe me, I myself have numerous conference
  speaking credits in my resume in the "Others" section, but so far
  I have never seen an interviewer or HR, giving them nothing but
  a sideways glance :)

As Anand pointed out unless you are looking for a role as an evangelist or
in marketing these things dont really help you. But ** actual ** active
involvement in the conference can definitely help students since they get to
meet and interact with a few experienced developers etc.

But if the budgets permit, I see no problem in actually having some delegate
certificates issued. However someone attending a conference to get a
certificate somehow doesn't appeal.

[..]

I generally concur. I have had a visceral dislike for certifications
for a long time now.

I do however see Aneesh's point. There is a difference between the
"tutorial" track (which is an intro to Python) and the other
conference tracks which are more technical. If a student has a
certificate at the end of a tutorial saying that he knows Python, it
*might* help with some employers.

It doesn't however fit into the overall scheme of a hacker conference
though (which is how I personally view this event).

  If it comes to that we could write a script in Python which can generate a

  certificate on Django. It is not very difficult to do so. The URL can be
shared
  with those needing a certificate, protected by a login. They can just
  print it out using a printer locally.

  This is the normal thing done for those courses which companies ofter
  internally. It won't be too difficult to reuse some existing code or hack
  something up to provide a "certificate engine" :)

It warms my heart to hear this. It's one huge step closer to the first
PyCon in India.

Is anyone sufficiently familiar with the FossConf software to know how
we can get the list of email addresses of registered participants?

Kenneth tells me that he can implement a mass mailing feature only
after 15th which is quite late for us. If I can get the list, I can
write a quite mailer myself.

Is there anyone else on the list who has access to the server where
the app is running? If so, we can just get an SQL dump.

Thanks

Message-ID: <6e38f9f00908130837w3e0a9b28g8a55a29568e1021d@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

Due to some personal and professional constraints I've not been able to
contribute much to the build-up to the conference.

We had discussed the strategies for marketing and promoting this event some
2-3 months back, and I could not find much either in press or in
blogosphere.

With just 40 days to go, its time we pulled up the socks and create bit of
brouhaha as far as the conference is concerned.

As a first step, I am suggesting that we send a press release to all
newspapers in Bangalore ( and all IT magazines and portals in India). There
are a few places I'll be able to put in a word myself, and I'll do that.
However in case any of your know any journalists, do try influencing your
friends from the press. Ideally we should get this done through a PR agency,
but we may not be able to afford one this time around.

Please find a draft of a simple press release which we can tweak around.

And bloggers, please do write about the conference (if possible multiple
entries) so that some of the visitors to your blog might take interest in
the conference.

In case any of are hosting code at github.com, sourceforge.net, code.google
etc. See whether a link can be put up on the home page of these projects.

If you can post it in your company intranet, notice board, that'll also be
great and also at other places. Especially if we can have this done at the
big software service houses, Wipros, Infys, TCS, Accentures, IBMs etc.There
are many hidden Pythonistas at these places.

I am sending email requests to several of my friends who are not Python
developers or users, but is involved with Linux, open soure or software
development in general. Please consider spending 15 minutes and see whom all
you can touch base with.

Please find a press release draft. Noufal in case you have an official pycon
id do suggest that, and advise whether you are OK with putting your
telephone numbers. There is little chance that you may actually get calls.
But if some journalist actually wants to find out more, we need to have a
person taking a call. Do advise.

Note: I am looking at suggestions improvements on the Press Release. Please
come back before 2 PM tomorrow; I am looking at sending it out to some of my
friends tomorrow afternoon, so that this can appear at the earliest.











   *Pycon comes to India*



The Indian leg of Pycon?an international conference held across the globe by
Python programming language developers, Pycon India 2009 would be held at
Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, India, between Saturday, 26th
September 2009 and Sunday, 27th September 2009.



Pycon conferences are completely self-managed by the community of Python
developers and are held in 11 countries across five continents.



Pycon India 2009 will have interactive tutorials, talks and workshops by
experienced Python developers from India and abroad. Without doubt this will
an exciting opportunity for all developers looking at productivity, to come,
learn and share their knowledge of Python and meet and interact with the
brightest Python developers in the India.



Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used
for many kinds of software development. It offers strong support for
integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard
libraries, and can be learned in a few days. Many Python programmers report
substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the
development of higher quality, more maintainable code.



Python is distributed under an OSI-approved open source license that makes
it free to use, even for commercial products.

There is an estimated half a million software developers using the Python
programming language. Python language is used by development teams at some
of the large IT and technology companies including Google, NASA, HP,
Microsoft among others.

Any idea how that happens to be working, since the MX records aren't

no idea - have been sending and receiving mail for the past 4 years from any 
number of domains without setting up MX records. As long as the nameservers 
for the said domains are pointing to my IP it seems to work. As a test you may 
send a mail to contact at in.pycon.org - Noufal will reply.

 Great job! Kudos to the sponsorship team...

 We need to review sponsorship on a weekly basis now and take drastic steps
if the
 expected fund don't realize. Please post sponsorship updates regularly.

Just cooked up one. I'm not really a graphics person or a reportlab
expert but this is serviceable and can be altered to be aesthetically
pleasing.
The code and images are at at
http://github.com/nibrahim/Random-hacks/tree/master (in the pycon
directory).

A 'pngified' version of a sample id card generated using this is attached here.

Thanks

I think the right way to go would be to have this as an 'admin' only
page on the site perhaps? Or maybe delegates can print it out
themselves and we just "stamp" them at the actual venue.

The easy way out would be for us to take 100 -150 blank printouts and
keep it with us. For spot registrations, we just give it to the people
similar to what was done at DevCamp.

No reason. I don't have strong feelings either way. I've used
reportlab before so I wrote the script. :)

Apart from the fact that we're changing the first announce date, none

If you personally are responsible for doing that, what would you do?

I think the colours are unnecessary (since it's cheaper to do b/w printouts)
Also, why do you call the file somefile.pdf?

That might be hard since you'd have to keep a printer over there.
Malfunctions/costs etc. are unwarranted. I think it's better to keep a
stack of 'empty' id cards and just give them off for spot
registrations.

Hi,

Can you move up the organization name printed in the id card a bit or 
move the image a bit down? Because, if there is an image added by the 
user then the organization name is overlapping with the top of the image.

hey ppl,
  I am Anirudh Asokan, an undergraduate student. I am very excited about the
event and would like to offer my help. My house is pretty close to the
venue, maybe I can be of any help during the preparations preceding the
event (registration arrangements, setting up banners, folding t-shirts,
maybe even escorting delegates etc).

Whats your font? Almost looks my client is broken.

BTW, its a good idea. Contacting them to send some pamphlets and
stickers for the books (or discount coupons).

And better idea is to Contact TATA Book House, explain to them about
the conference and say if they would have have few dozens of Python
books. Good ones.

As you said that you stay near IISc, can you ask TATA Book house about
this option?

I didn't mail about this earlier since I didn't have anything concrete
but I got a mail from Pearson education and they're interested in
printing the 'conference proceedings'. Since this is not a paper
presentation thing, I don't know how far that will go but I'll speak
to them on Monday and get back to you guys on the list.

O"Reilly is represented through Shroff Publishers here..

Btw, it might be worthwhile, asking the different Python book publishers to
make a presence there. Instead of asking money, we can ask them to display
books @ 25% off or so.

Too late on this thread but here goes. in case we plan to bulk print the
badge with the name and organization name (printed badges are sexy, people
collect them) then there is a script that siddharta govindaraj and i
maintain for proto.in . it basically takes in a CSV then fixes font size
depending on the number of chars and generates png badge files. it then fits
all the PNG files in an A3 sheet.
Let me know if we want to do pre-printed badges on the house and i will pass
on the script.

we'll if you walk into tata book house, you anyway get 15% - 20%
discount on Indian editions on the Oreilly books . But yeah it would
be great if they set up a stall.

What is wrong in printing 350 empty stickers and let people fill them
when they turn up?
Do you think filling the id card at the time of venue is more work
than asking people to take print of the ID card?

I don't understand why are we trying to complicate things.

There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.

[..]
I don't feel strongly about the issue either way and I don't think
it's that critical either. Why don't we just put it to vote?

Option a. Participants print their Id cards in advance from the site
and we just stamp them at the venue. For spot, registrations, we keep
a batch of empty cards

Option b. Only empty cards and we fill them up on the venue.

I'm +0 towards Option a.

Don't mean to put you down, but why reinvent the wheel? The
Python labelnation script has been doing that for ages, is
well documented, handles various standard labels, and can
easily be extended to other label sizes.

If it lasts till Sep 27th, then both you and I are at serious risk.

But this brings up another point, Medication Facilites. 

 - We need to arrange for it.
 - Or have an emergency medical kit handy.

I'm +1 on a - the less work we have to do the better - even airlines allow one 
to pring out ones boarding pass. After all it *is* the first decade of the 21st

some of us like to do things of our own just for the fun of it. If everyone 
followed your advice there would be only one type of wheel, one operating 
system, one tool for each task. It is reinventing the wheel that leads to 
progress. That is why our society advances through reinvention of the wheel.

Probably not. I don't think it's worth the bother. While it would be
nice, if there's too much logistics involved, it might be a headache.

we dont do all these stuff". So I took the freedom to contact Shroff
Publishers, Bangalore(they distribute O'REiLLY books in India, ph : 080

Keep in mind that we may not provide space for stalls at the Conference.

I think just drop this effort to reach through publishers, since someone has
clarified that IISC wont bend rules to allow people hoard stuff, and that's
why many people are shunning away from holding conferences at IISC.

Please instead focus on getting some sponsorships...

Yes. These are all sundry. If we don't cover costs with sponsors, we
can say bye bye to the conference.
This is the single most important thing right now. If anyone has any
contacts they can leverage, please do so.

Thanks.

Does anyone have access to a fat pipe? It would be nice if we could
get some of the PyCon talks delivered in the US and keep them here for
people at our PyCon. Burn them onto DVD or something. Even if we can't
get sponsorship coverage for this, we can just charge for the price of
the DVD or give them to people onto their laptops/thumb drives.

Someone discerning will have to decide which talks to download. It's
too big to get the whole thing.

Here is the list of video URLs.

http://anandology.com/tmp/pycon-us-videos.txt

There are 163 videos. Each file is about 200MB, total 32GB of videos,
which requires 5 DVDs.
If we want to download all of them, then we can split it into 5 parts
and let 5 people download each part.

What do you think?

Opps. each DVD is 4.7GB. So we need 7-8 DVDs to get the whole thing.

 Bad idea. We should have one or two dvd at max. That is why someone
needs to select which videos go in the dvd.

-1. We need someone whose gotten their hands dirty with Python to
filter the videos. There are some highly technical talks which will
not interest the general public (eg. SQLAlchemy tutorial).

I think we need to trim this. One or two DVDs max. Not more than that.

I think if a person into Python steps up, we can just delegate the
selection process to her and trust her to do the right thing.

It would be a mix of basic and advanced stuff all of which are of
general interest.

It may be a good idea to give rights to make posts to a few more active people 
so that the site becomes more lively - the automatic tweeter interface and the 
planet will spread these. For those that get the right you need to edit them:

is_staff = true
can add posts, can edit posts can delete posts - selected

then they can log in to admin and make posts.

I agree that swine flu is something which everyone needs to be aware of
and take precaution against, but let us not divert our energies into rather
non-contextual topics such as these, when there is a lot to do in terms of
real ground work to realize the event.

An advisory on the website regarding swine flu so that prospective
out-of-bangalore participants worried about this are not scared into
avoiding the event, should be enough
for the time being. This is something which we can arrange later.

Please don't extend this thread any further.

Thanks

We're in a reasonably healthy state right now as far as money is
concerned. I think we can cover the costs. However, our margin of
safety is limited and there will *always* be unexpected costs at the
end. I will send out another mail later today detailing our financial
condition.

Ramdas suggested that we open up an 'associate sponsor' scheme whereby
companies/individuals who want to be part of the event with smaller
amounts can become associate sponsors. Lower amounts like 10k are
fine. Anand Pillai and Ramdas have already pitched in.

Of course, associate sponsors would receive less benefits than the
main guys. A logo on our site and a link their company page. No stalls
and such which the premium sponsors would get.

Please leverage your contacts and try to get people to become atleast
associate sponsors for the conference. It would go a long way in
helping the thing take off and fly.

We'll rework the brochure for associate sponsors but please start
conversations with potential parties.

Thanks

Sorry about the crossposting but now that cash is starting to flow
into the PyCon organising committee from our sponsors, we need a
single person to maintain accounts. All financial dealings will have
to be done through this person so that they'll have all the accounts
in place at the end. This is vital for us to keep our books clean.

This is mostly an email/phone job. Someone who's good with numbers and
who can keep track of this properly. Please let me know if anyone can
help out.

What about adding  the python logo on the left hand and in.pycon logo in the

Message-ID: <9963e56e0908212308r6c656a5s4bd0a68f6595081d@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,
   There was a point that missed my completely. T-shirt sizes. Not all
people are emaciated like me so we'll need multiple sizes.

   We're ordering around 350. I think most people are medium/large.
We'll also need a few XL and XXL and maybe XXXL. I don' tknow if we'll
need small.

   Let's say 35% medium, 35% large, 20% XL, 5% XXL, 5% XXXL.

   This translates into 123, 122, 70, 18, 18

   Do you think this is fine?

   In addition to this, some of the sponsors (I'll send details once
we confirm and close the deals) have asked for some extra T's for
themselves. This is a reasonable request so we'll get some extra
printed. After all, they're paying us.

   Comments welcome.

thanks.

Just add a coloum in the registration page and edit profile page to get the
T Shirt size of all the registered participants. Ask everybody to act quick.

This might not be feasible *now* since there will be spot
registrations and people who don't specify their size. Also, we'll
have to bulk order in advance.

Your general point is a good one though and one we should consider for
next year.

I think it would be nice if we can add a single column/field to the
registration form called choose your shirt size. Another mass mail out to
registered delegates asking them to fill this is a good way not to get this
data, as well as to send a reminder about the event...

I was just going to post on this. We need an extra field on the delegate profile 
for T shirt size - so if you can send me the list of choices, I will add that 
field and delegates can indicate their size. This size will *not* be displayed 
on the site. Once that is up the delegates can be mailed and asked to tick 
their size.

Small/Medium/Large/XL/XXL/XXXL I think should be enough (I've added
the last 2 because people have asked me for them)

Some of the sponsors will ask for specific numbers so we can tweak
what we have. This will give us a measure though. Please add the
fields and let me kow. I'll send out the email.

done - tee shirt size option is there and a post regarding this too - I have 
put the statistics of sizes chosen the in bottom of the statistics page, so we 
can bring the message home in one more area - people never read mail or posts, 
but love statistics ;-)

Since we're close to the event, I think we can disable the early bird
registrations by the end of August.

Any objections?

what do you mean by 'disabling early bird'? I understood that there is a cut 
off date by which one should register online and pay only 200. That is why the 
registration date is given. Any one who registers after that - online or not, 
has to pay 300. If this is correct a post may be made specifying the cut off 
date. I do not think we should remove the facility for online registration 
until the conference is in it's second day. Similarly when the cut off date for 
submission of talks is over, the 'propose talk' link should go - but the 
'manage talks' link should remain for convenience of loading presentation 
materials. Please also enable the 'Browse slides' link so that people can see 
how many slides have been uploaded already and we can chivvy the authors to 
upload.

This wasn't my understanding. I considered 'early bird' to mean online
and spot registrations to mean people who walk up to the venue and
register.

Just a off topic thing.

Is there any sale of T-shirts during the conference?

or it's just 1 t-shirt per delegate.

We can collect order 10 days before the conference. One who ordered can pay
and collect T-Shirt at the time of Registration. I think by this we can
override the issue.

Hello everyone,
   We have volunteers who are willing to take up the responsibility of
being treasurers. Not all of them would in Bangalore full time so it
would complicate logistics. Because of this, the guys who are from
Bangalore are our 'official' treasurers.

   Indudhar and Santhosh have volunteered to pitch in for this. Their
email addresses are indudhar and santhosh.divakar. Both at gmail dot
com.

   In case anyone on this list has financial things that need to be
dealt with regarding the conference, these are the people to contact.

    Welcome. :)

Thanks.

 Do they have any experience and/or interest in handling accounts,
 maintaining statements, doing bank work etcetera. Most of this work I
 guess will involve that.

 Just curious.

At the first look, the list looks fine. I would personally like to see
Alex Martellis talk on leaky abstractions in there as well and am not
too keen on HowIDistributePythonApplicationsOnWindowsPy2exeInnoSet226
since it's a little too specific.

Does anyone else have any comments? If not, I think we can distribute
this for download.

Thanks

 The reason I dropped the leaky abstraction because it is bit too much
for a noobies. I have selected the list with an inclination towards
noobies. As for windows talk, I selected it intentionally (Along with
linux application distribution) to give an idea of cross platform
behavior of python.

Sounds okay. I asked for the abstraction one because we don't want the
whole thing to be n00b. Besides, Alex is a nice speaker. The rest are
all somewhat basic anyway. As for the cross platform thing, you have a
talk focussing on Excel. I guess that should do.

Anyway, these are my comments, if you or any one else has other ideas,
that's fine too. We'll wait a day and if no one has any, we'll try to
get these downloaded and burnt.

Now a days it is customary to have a keynote speaker
open the conference on the first day.

Have we thought about a keynote speaker yet ?

I think I saw some minutes of a meeting where it was decided not to have

This came up a long time ago but since we didn't have a pprominent
person back then, we said no.

However, we *can* make the talks from Dr. Prabhu Ramachandran keynotes.

See check whether Thoughtworks or Zeomega or one of the large sponsors have
someone worth it. It has to be Pythonic and nothing else.

Prabhu is a good choice.  Although I do think we should list out other
possible candidates too.  Anyone with commit rights to Python itself
in India?

Btw, what's Pythonic?

I don't see the point in changing decisions we made a long time ago.
This was discussed to death back then band the final decision was no.
I think we'll keep it that way.

FWIW, Mayavi (the visualizer Prabhu wrote) is part of SciPy, dunno
about how Pythonic it or he is.

I agree to that. Keynotes are usually a general talks catering to
wide-range audience and usually for motivation purposes.

We can ask Dr. Prabhu Ramachandran, if it is okay with him to provide
a keynote for the conference.

Anand, did you have any other thought in your mind?

+1 for Dr. Prabhu. Its interesting to see , how National Mission for
education , has chosen python for the language of choice.  I'm sure ,
there are many curious people out there, wondering about this project.
What impact it might have on the Indian Education system.

We just title it the keynote don't we? Is there anything else 'formal'
that needs to be done? If it involves extra work, I don't think it's
worth it. If it's just a matter of scheduling and labelling, fine.

mmm...... How about our own Senthil Kumaran Keynoting. Talk about
python community, Standard Library and 3.0 and future of python.

   No. In fact, Dr. Prabhu seems a good choice for the first Indian Pycon.
   Let us have a local "hero" as keynoter instead of someone from across
   the seas.

   However, I don't recall a decision of not having a keynote speaker.
   If so, I think it is ok to review the decision since I think, it does add
   color to the conference - no racial pun intended ;-)

Because of some logistics problems (unable to meet some key people), I
haven't been able to send out details of our expenditures and incomes.
I am working on that and will mail the list as quickly as I can.

In the meantime, I urge everyone who's reading this to work on finding
people/companies who might be willing to pitch in. We're not in dire
straits but our margin of safety is too low and given that budgets
have a nasty habit of exploding at the last minute, I'm not
comfortable with the current state of affairs.

Please get in touch with people you know who might be willing to pitch
in with the conference and let me know so that we can get it moving.

thanks for your support.

He has been programming in Python since 2000 and is one of the leading
developers and users in the domain of Python for scientific computing.
He won two FOSS India awards for his work on TVTK and Mayavi in 2008.
He is considered one of the pioneers in the domain of Python tools for
scientific computing as evidenced in the panel discussion at
SciPy2009.

Well... that definitely makes him 'Pythonic'. :)

Oy, I sat in a talk of his when he was still a scruffy bearded PhD
student at IIT-M.  Just wasn't sure about what Pythonic meant in a non
code context. :)

Well, I think we can invite him to be the keynote speaker then. The
only things I think are that the keynote speech should be the first
one and that we should mention this on the site/program plan. Anything
else?

We should stop discussing 'him' though. It's not nice to talk about
someone in 3rd person on a public mailing list.

Hello fellow Pythonistas,
      Since we're close to the event, I think we need a face to face
to discuss some critical issues.
      The agenda is as so
      0. Finances - We need to discuss the details of our expenditures
and incomes
      1. Society registration -  We need to review the bylaws and
stuff so that someone can go meet the registrar and get this done.

     I propose next Saturday 5/Sep. We'll need room to discuss this so
if we can get an office like space (Kamal's office or perhaps TW or
ZeOmega), it would be better than a coffee shop. Plus the fact that
whenever I suggest a barista, it's either moved or closed down
completely.

     Everyone fine with this?

Thanks.

We don't have a big enough room to handle keynote. We have 2 rooms
with 100-120 capacity and 1 room with 60-70 capacity.

Noufal, please don't suggest a software company now.
Finding another job is not as easy as finding another coffee shop ;)

In that case, one 100 capacity room should used as keynote.  I have an
idea. Lets not delay by a minute and be exact at 9:00 AM (If the
advertise the keynote to start at 9:00 AM). We won't have a full hall
and would be able to go ahead with the keynote.

+1 depending upon the time. If we settle down the timing, I can work

Saturday morning? Say 10-12 or so?
Since it's Ramadhan, I personally  find the morning a lot more
convenient. I understand that people will get their usual weekend
scheduled disturbed so please vote.

This might present logistics problems.

We won't be having any other speeches during the keynote and will have
to accommodate everyone who is there in a single hall which will be
hard.

I still don't understand why we *have* to have a keynote. Is it really
that necessary?

Yes, it is.

All are equal, but a keynote is more equal. :)

Oops, I thought you called for meeting on a Sunday.
Saturday till afternoon, wont be possible for me as I have other commitments.

I volunteer for Spastics Society of Karnataka on Saturday mornings.
http://www.spasticssocietyofkarnataka.org 

We have a fanastic Robotics Club going on there and folks are
enjoying Alice Programming Language too. 

I think, I will have to invite some of the students to attend PyCon.
