Message-ID: <CABUarbvuz1Vd+gYoV0rYFzj8rCYrJhGURZhVsk8UA4A4pkBzCA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,
    This is a little premature perhaps but given that we a significant
amount of time last 3 years on selecting the venue, I think it might
be a good idea to throw this into the wild right now.

     Anand P. and I chatted about this a while ago and I'm for opening
up the discussion right now as well. Getting this semi-finalised would
mean more time to actually do the conference.

     The default location would be Pune based on the 2 years in one
city "policy" but constructive opposing views are welcome. If the
stakeholders for the various cities are coming to Pune, we could spend
some time after the AGM to trash this out as well.

Thanks!

Message-ID: <CAD2aR4MPT-Z8PYouXU=f4BCoaz4LSUi-1iS=xM4iDqEJq4o1WA@mail.gmail.com>

All,

We need access to a large number of access points / routers for Wifi
connectivity during PyCon. It would be greatly helpful if you can lend
one or a few for the duration (for out of town visitors if you could
carry them in and out during the visit as well). The list of
APs/routers is specified below. These are going to be particularly
helpful. We can do with other models as well but only with a much
higher configuration overhead. What I would request you to do is to
let me know if you can help lend the same for the conference (either
those in this list or others). The routers will ideally be required
from Thursday evening through Sunday night. For out of town - we can
adjust as per the travel schedules.

Suggest that you respond in the following format (kindly send the mail
to me rather than to the whole list to avoid spamming the list). Out
of Pune contributors - I shall let you know by Wednesday early morning
if we need you to carry the same with you. If we can get the same from
within pune, there is no point in you having to carry it.

a. Name of Person
b. Router Model Number
c. Location: In Pune / Out of Pune
d. If Out of Pune - time when you reach pune, and time when you shall
need to leave the venue.

Thanks
Dhananjay

Please do not assume that all you need to do to service a dense conference audience with wireless is to saturate the space with access points connected to a backbone. In my experience academic venues are usually more flexible and better-supported than most hotel venues.

PyCon US has considerable experience building infrastructure such as that, and Sean Reifschneider has developed what seems to me to be an almost turnkey system. Sean has written about this, and his work may be of interest. Perhaps he will have time to 

If you would like to consider duplicating the PyCon US "network conference setup" package I understand that resources maybe a problem. Should that be the case I would *strongly* encourage you to apply to the PSF for funding to help you build such a facility -- if not for this year then perhaps for next.

regards
 Steve

PS: I was lucky for the first three PyCons in the US to fall on an academic venue that had just refreshed its entire network infrastructure. But even when networking is bad the ability to meet with people face-to-face will mostly override annoyances about inadequate wireless. Good luck!!!!!!!!!! S

Hi All,
As youmight be aware, because of a
last-minute vendor backout, we're having trouble with setting up Wi-Fi
for PyCon (the python international conference, in Pune on 16/17/18
Sept). We're alsking everyone to lend us Wi-Fi access points / routers for
the days of the conference.

In the meantime, we have also worked out a deal with a vendor in Pune.
If anyone is willing to buy an Apple Airport Express wi-fi router, or
an Apple Airport Extreme wi-fi router-cum-media center-cum-file
server, the vendor will give a Rs. 1000 discount, if you agree to let
that device be used for PyCon. In this deal, you get the Airport
Express for Rs. 5k instead of the usual price of Rs. 6k, and the
Airport Extreme for Rs. 10k instead of the usual Rs. 11k.

Help the community, and get a discount on an excellent product.

Please get in touch with me (navin.kabra @ gtalk, 98220 20096) if
you're interested. Thanks.

(Of course, if you have a regular Wi-Fi router and could lend it to us
for the days of the conference, we're still interested. Contact me. Thanks).

Please forward this to other relevant mailing lists that you might be aware of.

Lightning talks are talks with a maximum duration of five minutes.

They are long enough for an experienced speaker to make a couple of good points, and short enough that they don't unduly intimidate a new speaker.

If you need more information, ask on the pycon-organizers list.

Message-ID: <CAMBgbCtdLcO-f9CNRZKwkmwSCXfzy7y1Oy=5st1q6aJqc0uZTg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,
See below for a short note on information about how to get to the venue and
where to park. This is going up on the PyCon blog/website soon.

Currently, it does not contain any information about public transportation
(other than rickshaw). If anyone is able to create/compile that information,
please send it to me so it can be included in the post.

Venue Information

The venue for PyCon 2011 is Symbiosis Vishwabhavan, Senapati Bapat Road (aka
SB Road), Pune. Track 1 is at the Auditorium at Symbiosis Vishwabhavan.
Track 2 & 3 are in Symbiosis Law College which is an adjacent building in
the same campus.

There is no parking at the venue. Instead, parking space has been arranged
at Symbiosis' Ambedkar Bhavan (also known as Ambedkar Museum & Memorial)
which is about 150m from the main venue. Please keep that in mind when
you're coming.
Directions

If you're coming by Rickshaw, tell them that you want to go to Symbiosis
Vishwabhavan, on Senapati Bapat Road (SB Road). Symbiosis Vishwabhavan is a
prominent landmark on SB Road, just a few hundred meters from the junction
of SB Road and Law College Road. There is a statue of Laxman's Common man,
and flags of various countries mounted at the entrance of Vishwabhavan.

If you're coming by your own vehicle, you'll need to park at Ambedkar Bhavan
which is opposite the Passport Office on SB Road.

If you are coming from University Circle / Chatushrungi, then you will reach
Ambedkar Bhavan *before* you reach the main venue. As soon as you cross the
signal near the Passport Office (which will be on your right), you will see
a big dome shaped structure on your left. This is Ambedkar Bhavan. Go inside
and park. Walk the rest of the way to Symbiosis Vishwabhavan.

If you are coming from Law College Road / BMCC College side, you will need
to keep going past Vishwabhavan. You will pass the Passport Office on your
left. Take a U-turn at the signal immediately after Passport Office. After
the U-turn, you'll see Ambedkar Bhavan on your left.

So, what's the final decision on this? Do we need to print tickets or
showing it on my phone will suffice?

It would be useful if we could wrap up the AGM quickly since it's really
just a formality and then focus on discussing the conference, next years
venue and other things to make the execution smoother next time. 

Anyone interested is welcome to attend.

Opinions?

We prefer printed tickets, but showing it on a large clear

Here's a quick top of the mind recall of matters I think should be
discussed. I suspect I might add a few more issues later.

- Segmentation : While there was far less feedback of their being
introductory talks, some students conveyed to me that some of the
talks / tutorials were too advanced for them. We need a broader
discussion on exactly what segments we would want to adhere to and
then figure out how we satisfy each such segment within the context of
overall constraints for an event like this. This is a bigger
discussion which needs to be conducted and we need to gather more
points on the same.
- Scheduling and booking : Especially if capacity is going to be a
constraint we need to have a mechanism of people pre-booking their
slots and us having the ability to confirm their ability to be able to
seat in the preferred track. On a few occasions capacity constraints
made some of the talks heavily attended with no seating or standing
space left, and at least on one occasion required us to move the
session from one track to another given that the number of people
wanting to attend was a significant multiple of the room capacity.
Note: If we have to go down this path, the CFP will need to be
completed and the schedule announced before the registrations begin
(with some standard caveats around the fact that while we will attempt
to satisfy the registration time scheduling requests - such could get
changed based on evolving circumstances - eg. in this case the
classrooms were changed for tutorials due to other VIP presence at the
venue).
- Early bird advantages: There need to be stronger early bird
advantages. If the fee is going to go up from just Rs. 300 to 400
there is no incentive to really book earlier. Perhaps combining early
registration with ability to register for specific tracks upto the
capacity available will be more helpful.
- Capacity Planning: Moreover people seem to imagine that a conference
has infinite capacity and thus they can wait till the last moment.
That is completely untrue. We had to close registrations this time
one/two days before the conference due to capacity issues. Note that
there are some serious issues around stuffing a room with a very large
number of people way beyond its capacity (eg. contingencies like
fires). In interest of public safety as well - I think this issue
*must* be resolved better the next time. Arbitrary attendance of
tracks in excess of venue capacities are safety hazards.
- Gate Fees : I think we need to substantially increase Gate Fees for
the amount of value provided. For students and full time employees of
FOSS bodies the early bird registration fee should be >= INR 500 while
for all others it should be >= Rs. 2000
- Wifi and Network planning - We screwed up in terms of delay, and
even though we did get it working in the end, this definitely needs to
be better taken care of and done much more in advance than we were
able to do.
- Sponsorships: Sponsors need to have more specific takeaways apart
from a pure branding perspectives. Either in terms of increased
promotional visibility (inclusion of sponsor brochures on registration
??) or assistance in some other way (job boards was being discussed
hotly). Also perhaps something more should be added for platinum
sponsors. I also suggest no upfront commitment of constraints on
#sponsors per slot (this was a big issue we ran into - while getting
platinum sponsors was hard, the gold/silver slots filled up so we had
to turn back other requests). Beside I just saw Pycon US seems to be
having like 50+ sponsors.
- Sponsor confirmations: We either should be able to confirm sponsors
based on a written confirmation from them with a promise to pay by a
given date, or should delay the sponsorship drives until a relatively
brief period before the event. It is hard to muster sponsorships, and
then not be able to confirm the sponsorships - since the current
policy dictates that we need to receive the payment before we can
confirm, and yet sponsors are unlikely to want to pay many many months
before the event.
- Sponsor tier for small startups : We should have a tier for very
small startup sponsors to allow such companies to also extend support.
At the same time we need to ensure that sponsor benefits remain
commensurate with the slabs and amounts (something that seemed to be
an issue between Platinum vs. Gold/Silver this year).
- Clear definition of what other activities Pycon can officially
promote - I used to get requests to promote some site or other - but
had no way to respond to them given no formal policy. I suggest the
policy should be no formal support of other local or national python
(non FOSS) based software or startups beyond what can be made feasible
from a clearer definition of sponsorship tiers.

I generally agree with what Dhananjay has said.

I'd like to add a few more points, and respond to a couple of Dhananjay's
points:

1. We should try to get the media sponsorships in place around the time the
CFP goes out. Basically, I don't think we needed the media sponsorships to
get more people attending the conference - we had enough registrations even
before the ads went out. What would help is if "CFP" ads go out in LFY and
DevIQ - we'll hopefully get many more, and even better quality submissions
for talks.

2. Any feedback on the length of the talks? Many talks ended a little early
and we had to fill in with lightening talks, and in some cases, it was just
free time. Did that work well, or would people have liked a more packed
schedule? Have you heard any feedback? My personal opinion is that the 1
hour slots were fine. The best talks did need 1 hour, and in fact had to be
cut-off in the end. The option of having lightening talks was also useful.
And in general, having breaks during the conference is not a bad thing.

3. Regarding fees: While I generally agree that fees should be higher, I
think I would like to see a significant chunk of the non-student tickets
going at around the Rs. 1000 mark. It can increase to Rs 1500 or Rs. 2000,
for the last 2 or 3 weeks.

4. Capacity planning: While it would be good to be able to do capacity
planning, and guarantee seats to people who "book" slots in advance, I think
that would be just too much work and a headache.

My point is that sometimes the number of people in a single room
substantially exceeds what is safe. Thus I do believe we need to find
a way to contain the attendance within a single room to reasonable
limits - whether through pre-booking or closing the doors. In general
actually, the limit of safe count is usually the number of seats
(since the fire exits etc. have been designed based on number of seats
and the regulatory and contemporary design parameters at the point in
time the building was designed).

I'd say that was a requirement from a safety point of view. While it's very unlikely that an emergency will occur during a talk, if one did then one would be criminally liable in the USA if the overcrowding led to deaths and/or injuries.

I understand the PyCon web site has for some time used JavaScript technology to allow people to indicate the talks they are likely to attend, which gives us better information for planning the allocation of talks to rooms. Even then we once had Ian Bicking talking to about 200 people in a room better-suited to 100, while in the ballroom someone talked about geological processing to an audience of less than ten.

It's not easy!

 Steve

I am a conference rookie but from my limited experience I think that the
length of the session was alright. I was looking all around and most of the
time people were either in talks or engaging with each other. I think the
level of corridor discussions were really good and must have helped a lot of
the delegates that participated in the conference. I am a little more
ambivalent of the situation of the lightening talks. As it was not in a
specific area or at a specific time people might have misses interesting
lightening talks due to them not knowing that it was happening. One option
could be to decide on a specific area or stage (if feasible) and decide that
all the lightening talks happen there. So if any session ends early those
interested could go over to that area and check out the lightening talks.

I am amused nobody pointed out the lack of sufficient power outlets.
Although the talks were quite interesting, we could try and include a flow
of tracks that start with some introductory overview of the language and
progresses through some coding sprints so that newcomers understand better
the content that they are being taught. For example, a hands-on session on
redis in the evening would have helped. Such workshops spread over three
days would be more helpful for some segments of the audience than sitting in
talks they can't comprehend and worse they can't try it out then and there.
I also suggest the speakers upload the details of the packages being used in
the talks in advance so that attendees have them installed. Due to this I
missed on some interesting things during the image processing talk by nitin
in Track 3 on Day 1. And the absence of wi-fi didn't help either.

My 0.02$.

Subject: [Inpycon] Thank you Studio March
Message-ID: <CAD2aR4P0Tzhg8o87UCJuybOFnipsBbY7q-DDaHi9iiuywTCWNA@mail.gmail.com>

Earlier during the Pycon organisation process, Studio March
http://www.studiomarch.com/ a company in pune, helped us design a
poster for distribution to Colleges with an intent to promote
attendance to Pycon India 2011

"Studio March is a thinking company that focuses on design and
communication to build systems and solve real-world problems. We
believe that simple, well thought-out and creative solutions will
simplify the world in a big way."

It was a wonderful poster, yet I held back its release due to the fact
that it was starting to be a likely that we would be reaching capacity
constraints. They worked hard on it, and it was unfortunate that we
could not go through with the idea. There was no point at the time of
publicly acknowledging their efforts on a graphic that wasn't being
released (would've just led to more confusion)

Nevertheless the essential theme and characteristic found itself being
used in the Pycon India 2011 banners. Some people appreciated the
banners and it was only most fitting that their efforts were thanked
for and appreciated.

So, once again, Thank You Studio March, your efforts greatly helped us
put forward a much nicer and elegant image.

Please find attached the original poster created for distribution to colleges.

 A quick reply - We were aware of this ourselves. Frankly we didn't plan
properly for this and only bought the power strips (16 of them) the last
thing
on the previous day of the conference.

Ideally we should have stocked up a number of them (at least 30) and
serially connect them to provide power all around. I think it might have
been
felt more acutely in the auditorium. I tried my best to link a couple of
them
serially at every outlet, but we didn't have enough to cover all seats.

Point taken. We need to stock up on power strips well before
the conference.

It was perhaps I who first suggested a 1 hr duration of each talk.
This was from my (bad) experience from last year where I tried to
 pack a large number of talks with barely breathing room between
each. So this year the thinking was to provide 45 min for the speaker
to complete his talk and a luxury of 15 mins to do everything else -
Q&A, audience interaction, corridor discussions, breaks etc. So not
surprising that for a few talks where the author either paced himself
too fast or didn't have enough content, people could have felt that
the entire session was on the ligher side in terms of content. However
content is only part of the experience, and we wanted to give room
to everyone to engage each other and have an all around experience.
I think it worked.

Let me try to consolidate all of this (and personal feedback I've
received) into a single document and put it up on the wiki. I'll censor
sensitive information before doing this. 

This should give us a list of gotchas to avoid. I'll get it up by the
coming Monday. This week is going to be really busy.

>From the experience point of view, I agree that the conference had something
for everyone, was thoroughly enjoyable and was one of the best I've
attended. Kudos to the organising team. When you create the wiki consider
preparing a draft for organising any conference. A sort of "HowTo organise a
successful conference in 7 days." ;)

Not sure if I entirely agree. Running six outlets per outlet provided
at auditorium is a sufficient overload - anything more is likely to
overload the underlying assumed electrical circuits. We can consider
this as a factor when looking at a venue, but seriously it makes no
sense to overload the built in venue provided electrical outlets
unless one wants to contemplate drawing a separate wire from the venue
level mains into the auditoriums (needs more Rs, and careful
electrical planning). To the extent one sticks with the venue provided
outlets, I think we did what was reasonably feasible.
