Though i have been bidding furiously for Chennai (and will continue to bid
so ;) ), i must admit that Pune's people are in general great  hosts.
personally i think that version of Proto.in was the best i had seen. But
then PyCon and Proto.in are complete different. Still, putting aside the
fact that i have been bidding for Chennai,
+1 Pune.
and as far as Coimbatore is concerned, i do not know the ground realities
there apart from the fact that Kenneth is there, and hence personally a +0
there.


cheers,
