[Inpycon] Announcing PyCon Pune 2017 & Call for Volunteers

[Noufal Ibrahim]

The way this thing was pushed left a bad taste in atleast my mouth and I 
don't think I really want to be a part of the event.

When the event was announced, I brought up the issue of the name (which 
I think is important). I'm perfectly willing to be argued out of my 
position but the lack of an attempt to do that suggests, to me,  that 
the people behind the conference just want to conduct the event 
regardless of what people outside the organising committee, who are 
arguably part of a larger python community, think.

This is not to say that the whole affair is wrong, bad or in any way 
negative. I think of it as something conducted by a closed private set 
of people which is open to the general public only for participation 
during the actual event.

All the best!
