Hi,

 Sorry for the late reply.  I have been away since Friday to Kerala
 for a family function. I came back only yesterday.

 Thanks for recommending my name Ramdas. But it is more than cash or
 sponsorship for me since I involved in Python since 2003 - it has been
 an a great ride. I am happy to say that almost everything that I did using
 Python was a success and at least a couple of my efforts recognized
 internationally.

 Next year I expect to be able to play a role in the PSF itself - things
 will be more clear after PyCon US 2010.

 I think that a VPs role is perhaps more suited to someone who has been
 in the thick of things w.r.t Python in India recently and I have been
seriously
 out of touch the last 1 year or so. My Python activities have been limited
 to filing bugs in Python issue tracker and helping fix a few :)

 I would suggest your own name for this role, considering how you
 are involved with Python so much in your day-to-day activities and
 w.r.t your business. Considering that you are well-known in the govt
 and other circles using Django and other free software, I think you
 could do a more effective job of this position.

 I suggest Ramdas's name to this position. I will be happy to take
 up any other role in the society once the details are finalized.

 Actually, I suggest Srikanth's name itself to this position. Srikanth
 has had a lot of experience managing the affairs of Mahiti for a long
 time, and he is sure to do due diligence to the job of managing the
 funds. Proposing Srikanth as the treasurer.

looks like everyone is in agreement on this - time to hand it over to the 
lawyer for the legal stuff. Can someone put this in some nicely formatted .doc 
format. I do not have the time to convert the lawyer to odt ;-).

Just export to HTML and rename it to .doc. If the CSS is inlined, it should
work fine.

Thanks Kenneth.

We have a sponsor who was paying us after the conf. (I've been given to
understand that this is a common way in which many companies operate). I was
hoping that we could get the account setup by the time they give us the
money (approx. 20 Dec.)

after two days.

Hello All,

ChennaiPy likes to bid to host PyCon India 2010 at Chennai. We Were looking
at sept 24 -25, 2010 as D-Day. The days do not clash with any of the
festivals at that time (eid would have been over the previous week and
dussehra would not have started).
What ChennaiPy Promises:
* A good set of halls air-conditioned, that can accomodate around 400 people
in all.
* Good space to roam around, cozy environment.
* Good Food
* And ofcourse lots and lots of Fun.

There was a reasonable amount of investigation we did (people @ ChennaiPy
would be aware) before we came out with this proposal. We will work towards
reaching the standards that PyCon India 2009 set and will hopefully raise
the stakes to new levels. it Should hopefully be a Reappy good conference.


Cheers,
Kausikram Krishnasayee

Dear all,

I think we must discuss this in more detail.

A decision should be taken by the yet-to-be formed society, before approving
Chennai or for that matter any other city.

Chennai proposal looks pretty good to me, but I guess we will need to take a
formal call during a meeting called by President of
the newly formed society.

a couple of points:

1. Kausik has offered to take responsibility if Chennai holds this
2. as we will be holding the first AGM of the new society then, we may think of 
a 3 day conference to accomodate this

  Tremendous initiative. It is a healthy sign that in the 2nd year itself we
  might be able to host PyCon in another city than Bangalore, shows the
  interest generated by PyCon #1.

   +1 for this. Let us know in which all ways we could help.

"President of the newly formed society"!

That sounds scary. I hope this formalism won't push hackers away.

+1 for chennaipy's initiative.

most well run societies and clubs do things by informal consensus - meetings 
are usually very brief and mainly just to rubberstamp decisions already taken. 
So the call will be made by this list - and the society will endorse it. btw, 
as mentioned, I was held up by some deadlines and will be going to Ooty on the 
19th and will sit with the lawyer and finish up the society thing. Signing may 
take some time, but once done, registration is fast - especially if we do not 
mind doing it on a tuesday.

+1000

The society is supposed to just be around for grunt work like bank accounts
and formal names for sponsors etc. Not to dictate directions of conferences
and other community activities. ie. It's supposed to help and not lead.

Yep. Reappy awesome. We have time this time so let's make sure that all the
rough spots of 2009 are not repeated (eg. the video recording and rather
ad-hoc paper selection).

[..]

Let's not overformalise it. I don't think that the president or any office
bearer of the society will have any extra weight in deciding where the
conference is to be held. The city/venue/date should be discussed on
inpycon, we all (ie. whoever is interested) should +1/-1 the proposal and
finally do it. The society should not have any veto power or be able to flex
it's muscles to force events to take place in one city or another.

I for one welcome the enthusiasm from ChennaiPy.

in the South tuesday is inauspicious. you do not do anything of consequence on 
a tuesday. So if you do not like waiting in a queue to register your vehicle 
or your marriage - do it on tuesday. All govt offices will be idle and at your 
disposal. I do all my official work on tuesdays.

 A practice often followed, but not much discussed, yes.
 My father was super-superstitious about Tuesdays and never
 allowed any "good thing" to be done on a Tuesday.  He had
 a prohibition on Saturday also, in fact... :)

 Of course, one can take advantage of such stuff to get
 things done too - like Kenneth is clearly doing...

Let me clarify, see we may have calls from other cities too tomorrow. I am
completely in for doing it in Chennai next year, but we must discuss it
before finalizing it. I think the normal practice is that a meeting whether
offline or online should be called, and discuss. We did that number of times
for Pycon Bangalore, and we must do that before formally awarding it to
Chennai.

There was earlier an inquiry from someone in Delhi who wanted to do it in
Delhi.

There must be overall consensus.

The proposal looks pretty good to me, especially the A/C Halls.

I was under the impression that once a society is formed, then there need to
be a formal call for a meeting from an office bearer.

yes - on his conditions of a FOSS conference. Let us be clear that we are a 
python conference and do not discriminate with respect to caste, creed or 
progamming platform. The Chennai proposal comes without strings - a python 
conference. A language conference. Not an idealogical or philosophical 
conference.

we need a society because we need a bank account to receive and spend money. 
That is what the society is for. Nothing else.

Yup. Discussions should be on the list exactly like we did for the earlier
one.

I agree. I however don't want the society to 'formally award' anything. That
gives power to small bunch of people and I don't think that's cool.

If there are conflicting proposals, we'll bring it here on the list and beat
it out. I'd prefer that there be no need for arbitration etc.

Nope. I don't think so. We'd beat it out here and then with the +1s, we'd
decide. The society and it's office bearers shouldn't have some kind of
privilege to bless a group with the right to hold the a conference. If too
many people create a ruckus, it'd have to do something but not as a general
rule.

Well, I am normally +1 on this Chennai, but I have a request, can you
do it for 2 years?  The US pycon happens this way for few reasons like
(Hotel registration) and 2nd time familarity for visitors.

We can adopt the way, like with first year's experience could prove
helpful during the second year. 

Bangalore could do it again, but given enough enthu from Chennai
folks, it is okay for Chennai to host PyCon India 2010. 

Few thoughts.

1. Let it be towards year end. Please don't hurry up.
2. Think of the 2 year request.

And yeah Delhi's bid comes in too from Gora, but it should be PyCon,
otherwise at Delhi freed.in can always have a cohost of python
specific topics.

Great, they (or anyone else) can float a proposal on this list and
things could be discussed openly by those interested.

gee...why is a community decision being outsourced to a committee?
please dont fossilize and put power in a few hands, byfar the easiest
way to push volunteers away and had others not questioned this i'd
have been looking for an exit.

This occurred to me as well but given the enthusiasm of the Chennai folks, I
think we'd have a better conference if it was there. Gut feel really. Apart
from the familiarity reason, are there any other concrete ones for the 2
years in one city rule?

Sep/Oct is fine. I think once we have a couple of meetings, discuss some
ideas, we can beat the thing into shape. However, your warning about jumping
into things is very sound. I reappy think we should make this a big event
this time and rope in good sponsors. Google is one thing that comes to mind
and Anand C. had an awesome suggestion about talking to the FOSSEE people to
see if they can get the Govt. to atleast partly sponsor this. If we have an
event that's sponsored by the Govt., it'd do wonders for the language
publicity and adoption. I really think we should try.

I think it's great if other events have some Python stuff going on in them.
However, there should be just one official PyCon in India and most (if not
all) the Pythonistas should support it.

Any updates on this Kenneth? I apologise if I'm nagging but as you can
