Very good point, if possible we would like to delay till the Delhi heat can
be avoided. This would give the team one more month to help manage the
conference.

I would propose first week of November.

We are going to keep the format same as before or, do we need to think
about holding dev sprints for 2 days after the event?

Lot of the students are more interested in the dev sprints, they would skip
all talks just to be at the developer sprints.

Kind Regards
