I think this would work for colleges (and Sree managed it quite well
last year) rather than companies. It's harder to get a foot in the door
with the latter. 

On a related note, we should take special efforts to gather "Python
hackers" from the Indian community. Not just new people and for
advocacy. People who've done work on Python and related technologies
should be sought out, invited and if necessary, pestered till they
attend. :)
