There was some indecision regarding this and the conference is going to
be in Hyderabad. Not Bangalore.

+1 for Sidu. He's also a really good speaker. 

As for foreign speakers, I'd like to suggest the Greenfelds (Danny and
Audrey). They co-wrote the 2 scoops of Django book, have been active in
tech. and community work for a long time and are good speakers. Danny's
been specifically focusing on working with events other than big western
PyCons so he might be interested too.

Hi,

Thanks for the update, but this is really confusing since there is no
update on the website <https://in.pycon.org/2018/>. Kindly direct me to the
correct website as no search for pycon india 2018 leads to a page that
corroborates the shifting of venue. Also, any information on my  queries
regarding
a) Registration process
b) How to contribute

would be greatly appreciated.

regards,
D.Patel

This is an important point. 

Who's in charge of the website? If they can replace the site with a
placeholder saying that the conference has moved, it'll be useful to
others who are looking at the conference.

Hi Noufal

The change in location has been pushed in the PR
<https://github.com/pythonindia/inpycon2018/pull/43> and is waiting to be
merged since yesterday. A blog post for the same is also on the way, a
banner is a good idea as well.

@all
Can you please redirect me to the GitHub org owner to add edit access of
the 2018 PyCon India website repo to new moderators.(GitHub usernames:
manitha, chirag200666, ananyo2012)

 Hello Sir,
               I visit the link which you provide for the volunteer but I
am not able to understand how I am a volunteer in PyCon 2018. Can you
explain everything related to Volunteer position and the responsibilities?.
              Thank You

Hello Jitendra, 
      The details of how to volunteer are just getting finalised. Please
stay on the list. A call with details on how will be sent out once
things are in place. 

Thanks.

Thanks Noufal for responding. We got a good number of nominations for the
workgroup.  We will publish the workgroups early next week.   Once that is
done, we will focus on the Volunteer drive.

We understand that things are not very clear at this point.  Our primary
focus at this point is sealing the venue and website.  The former is close
to completion while the latter should be done very soon. Once these two
aspects are covered, we will start the next steps in quick succession.

Cheers,
Ramanathan.

Hi D.Patel - Thanks for reaching out. I think Noufal has already
responded (Thanks
Noufal) to you in another thread.

Coming to your specific questions -
a. The registration process will tentatively begin in May.  We will send
out notifications via a blog post and email in this forum.  So, please
watch out this space.
b. We will send out a call for volunteers tentatively by the second week of
April.  You could contribute by becoming a volunteer in the team you are
interested.

Hope that explains.

Regards,
Ram.

Hi all,
With an increase in pace of development from PyCon India workgroup, I'd take it a step forward and would like to nominate a keynote speaker for the same.?
I wish to nominate Kushal Das (https://kushaldas.in/) as a keynote speaker to PyCon India 2018. He has some good track record and has also been a keynote speaker at PyCon UK 2017 and PyConf Hyd 2017. Since this being the 10th anniversary of PyCon India, a core CPyhon? developer from India would be great to show India's Python contribution to the world. 


ThanksRegards,
Nivesh Krishna

Hi,

I have a couple of suggestions for Keynote speakers.

1. Julien Danjou - His information can be found here -
https://julien.danjou.info/
    He has been involved with OpenStack and Python for a long time and he
has written a book on - "The Hacker's Guide to Python"

2. Victor Stinner - He is  a core Python developer - more info -
http://vstinner.readthedocs.io/victor_stinner.html


Please note, both are from Red Hat (and I might be biased :)).

Thanks
Numan

Sorry Jatin, but you will have to keep an eye on this list. We are very
likely to forget sending mails volunteers individually.

?I think we should decide on what we want out of a keynote speaker. For
example, do we want a core CPython contributor to help attendees get
motivated towards contributing to CPython, or we want someone from PyPy
team to so that attendees can learn about PyPy etc. Just because we can
call someone, or someone is a good speaker, we should not call them. I
agree that we can't get everything we decide but that will be a good step.

For example: PyCon Pune keynote speakers were CPython devs and that
motivated and helped people to contribute to CPython.

Moreover I have seen instances when big companies like Google, Fb,
Instagram become a major sponsor for the event and they gets a keynote
slot. I think this is also worth giving a thought.

We indeed plan to have 4 Keynotes.  We have Travis Oliphant confirmed and
we need to finalize three more Keynote speakers.

I can definitely say that is the exact thought process the community is
working with - a fact quite evident with the suggestions so far. Based on
my past experience, the community (just not the speakers & organizing team)
will make sure that the attendees leave the conference motivated for a long
haul :)

We are reaching out to various suggestions in this list.  If you have
specific names in mind, please suggest.

Thanks,
Ramanathan.

Hey,

Great to see everything up and running with things coming back on track for
PyCon India 2018. I was just going over the handles of Facebook [1] and
Twitter [2] for PyCon India 2018 and found display and cover photos have
not been changed yet. This might create a lot of confusion for everybody as
almost everybody refers to them. The search engines use the same for
previews hence the sooner the information gets indexed the better it would
be. The media team or people who have access to the handles, please review
and implement the changes ASAP. Thanks.

Cordially,

Hi Vijay,

As requested, I here by confirm that I and Chirag(copied) have got access
for PyCon India social media accounts (i.e. Twitter & Facebook).

Note - At the moment in social media workgroup, only I have editor access
to PyCon India Facebook page. So to avoid dependency later I'd request few
more guys to be added as well.

Thanks,

It seems highly irresponsible to not even consider a cheaper venue, with
the current venue mentioned you would be spending 35-40 lacs on venue and
food alone.

Let's outline the pros and cons of the venues HCC vs CMR

What are the practical reasons not to consider the CMR institute mentioned

Hi



What are the practical reasons not to consider the CMR institute mentioned
by Dr. Solanki?


If you carefully read what Ram said in his mail I'm sure you would have
understood why we are unable to consider the venue at this point.

On Wed, Apr 11, 2018 at 11:07 PM,

We have finalized the venue in HICC, Novotel, Hyderabad.

Thanks again,
Ramanathan.


The venue has already been finalized. Find more details here

The search for Venue has been happening for almost a month and a half, and
we had multiple parameters to fit in.

1. Make sure working population can make to the conference in good
numbers.  Almost 85-90% of working people in Hyderabad is based out of
Hitech city and around and proximity to them was considered important.
2. Make sure enough number of hotels and hangout places are available near
the venue for people traveling from outside of Hyderabad.
3. Keep the ticket pricing affordable for everyone while giving good
discounts to students.
4. Be able to conduct the workshops on a weekday and have the scheduled
classes (in case it is a college) undisturbed.
5. Have parallel sessions halls nearby and not far away from the main hall.
6. Have sufficient place for impromptu open spaces and unconference events.
7. Ensure the tenth anniversary of PyCon India is a grand celebration.

Besides these, we had to bootstrap quickly for the conference (well, we all
know "what need not be discussed again") and there was an urgency in
confirming the venue to finalize the conference structure and other
details.  We considered almost 15 other venue options (not to miss IIT,
IIIT, JNTU, UOH, BITS, Cyber conventions, JRC, Avasa, Marriot, Katriya,
Park, ITC Kohenur, etc,.) and finalized on HICC as it was a perfect fit on
all the aspects mentioned.  Rest assured, a lot of careful and cautious
thought has gone into the decision.

Coming specifically to CMR as a venue option that came up yesterday, it is
not a good fit while considering #1 and #2. I had called up Dr.Solanki
today morning to explain the rationale and factors behind the decision and
also to thank him for his kind gesture.  We totally understand that he is
trying to help us in reducing cost. Once again, thanks Dr.Solanki for
coming up with the offer.

Hope that explains.

@quanon - We totally understand your intentions are towards reducing
overall cost and making the event better and bigger.  While I (and HydPy)
will let the "irresponsible" remark brush aside - I humbly request you to
practice some empathetic communication within the community.  It will take
us all a long way together and help in the overall wellbeing of the
community and success of the event. Appreciate your understanding.

Yes, Sayan.  However, there is a possibility that it will work out to be
lesser than that.  And yes, there will be a student and early bird discount
on top of these rates.

PyCon India is a national event, convenience to majority people from all

So far this point seems to be the only reasonable explanation on why a
venue of 35 to 40 lacs would be preferred.

As you can see from the mail from Dr solanki they have many reasonably
priced hotels around.

I replied in the manner as the initial response to Dr Solanki did not
explain the reason for not entertaining his offer. I felt it was my
"responsibility" to ask for it.

Thank you for taking the time to explain your/teams choice on the matter.
I still personally feel spending such a huge amount on venue does not make
sense but ultimately the decision is of the local team and I respect that.

Hope you folks have a great PyCon 2018

@quanon - Thank you for your support and opinions. Location is a primary
ingredient in a conference - it took a lot of effort & time from all of us
to finalize because it drives other decisions like conference tracks,
ticket pricing, sponsorship details & other aspects. Once a location is
finalized, revisiting it would start the process all over again & will put
us back 4 weeks time.

Looking forward to seeing you at the conference.

Best,
Ramanathan.

Hi,

I completely agree with Ramanathan. A venue plays a key role in drawing
professionals who drive the economic aspect of the conference. As a
Hyderabadi, I can assure you engineering colleges are very far from the
city[with few exceptions]. CMR is 28KM from Kacheguda(actual city) and 21KM
from Secunderabad. HICC is a bit closer venue within the city. It also
surrounded by Gachibowli and Hitech City where many software professionals
work and live. Commuting too is very easy. If cost needs to be well
managed, IIIT (Hyderabad) could be a better option for the City's next
turn.

Cheers,
Naren.

I think IIIT was one of the first venues that was considered by the ground
team as it was the venue for PyConf last year.

Hello everyone,

I am Arjun Nemani, one of the heads of Open Source Developers Group,
IIIT-H.

As I am from IIIT Hyderabad, and was involved with PyConf last year, I feel
like the venue is apt for an event of such scale.

Any college, I feel will not be able to cope up with the requirements of
such an event.

Coming to IIIT personally, the college will certainly not be able to handle
this event without disturbing classes.

Also if the venue is confirmed, then there is no point in discussing about
it.

Just my 2 cents.
Looking forward to a great PyCon!


Sincerely,
Arjun Nemani
OSDG, IIIT-H

I also agree what Arjun Said, Since the venue is confirmed already, there's
no point of discussing  is once again, I believe we don't want to come in a
situation like what PyCon India 2018-Bangalore Team faced . Lets make PyCon
India Hyderabad Great, and Lets Rock :)

Hello Everyone,

I'm Siddharth Prajosh from Kerala.

Speaking for the group of people traveling from distant locations for
PyCon, I think it should be easily accessible for them and availability of
hotels will also be a key concern.

Plus, if we have already "fixed" the venue then let's not discuss about
selecting the venue and talk about how that can be made accessible to
travellers from other locations.

Partnership with Ola/Uber and Oyo Rooms can be extremely simple and
beneficial in this case.

PS: I don't know much the locations in Hyderabad so I'm no one to judge how
good the venue is.

Hi Everyone
Many Faces come with many views, If you have 30-50 L budget then you must view one of best venue. In fact, even you take the best of best venue in Hyderabad, you find some pros and cons there also.
Reg campus, as your views it might not be correct, as we already told, our campus classroom and Audi is independent, so you won't get any disturbance.
Anyway, now I suggest not to discuss more, in fact, I just compared with Prev Three Pycon INDIA venues, which I can assure based on that I suggest that in Hyd we (CMR) could be one of the best options.
I say proudly that in comparison of IIT, IIIT, Uoh, JNTUH we have at-par even better audi, and other seminar and associated resources that too we are not quoting 30-40 L as well.

As my one of the friend suggests & advise, so only I proposed.
I just wish it be a grand successful event and graced by numerous dignities.
Still, any sort of support seek, always feel free to connect.
My best wishes for Pycon 2018 in Hyd, India.

 Hello everyone,?
I am Arjun Nemani, one of the heads of Open Source Developers Group, IIIT-H.?
As I am from IIIT Hyderabad, and was involved with PyConf last year, I feel like the venue is apt for an event of such scale.
Any college, I feel will not be able to cope up with the requirements of such an event.
Coming to IIIT personally, the college will certainly not be able to handle this event without disturbing classes.?
Also if the venue is confirmed, then there is no point in discussing about it.?
Just my 2 cents.?Looking forward to a great PyCon!?

Hi,
I completely agree with Ramanathan. A venue plays a key role in drawing professionals who drive the economic aspect of the conference. As a Hyderabadi, I can assure you engineering colleges are very far from the city[with few exceptions]. CMR is 28KM from Kacheguda(actual city) and 21KM from Secunderabad. HICC is a bit closer venue within the city. It also surrounded by Gachibowli and Hitech City where many software professionals work and live. Commuting too is very easy. If cost needs to be well managed, IIIT (Hyderabad) could be a better option for the City's next turn.?


I think IIIT was one of the first venues that was considered by the ground team as it was the venue for PyConf last year.?


Cheers,
Naren.

1. Make sure working population can make to the conference in good numbers.? Almost 85-90% of working people in Hyderabad is based out of Hitech city and around and proximity to them was considered important.

PyCon India is a national event,?convenience to majority people from all over India should be catered to, right???
2. Make sure enough number of hotels and hangout places are available near the venue for people traveling from outside of Hyderabad.?

3. Keep the ticket pricing affordable for everyone while giving good discounts to students.4. Be able to conduct the workshops on a weekday and have the scheduled classes (in case it is a college) undisturbed.5. Have parallel sessions halls nearby and not far away from the main hall.6. Have sufficient place for?impromptu open spaces and unconference events.

Seems most of these points are covered by the offer from CMR.?
7. Ensure the tenth anniversary of PyCon India is a grand celebration.

So far this point seems to be the only reasonable explanation on why a venue of 35 to 40 lacs would be preferred.


Besides these, we had to bootstrap quickly for the conference (well, we all know "what need not be discussed again") and there was an urgency in confirming the venue to finalize the conference structure and other details.? We considered almost 15 other venue options (not to miss IIT, IIIT, JNTU, UOH, BITS, Cyber conventions, JRC, Avasa, Marriot, Katriya, Park, ITC Kohenur, etc,.) and finalized on HICC as it was a perfect fit on all the aspects mentioned.? Rest assured, a lot of careful and cautious thought has gone into the decision.?


Coming specifically to CMR as a venue option that came up yesterday, it is not a good fit while considering #1 and #2.

As you can see from the mail from Dr solanki they have many reasonably priced hotels around.?
 I had called up Dr.Solanki today morning to explain the rationale and factors behind the decision and also to thank him for his kind gesture.? We totally understand that he is trying to help us in reducing cost. Once again, thanks Dr.Solanki for coming up with the offer.?
Hope that explains.

I replied in the manner as the initial response to Dr Solanki did not explain the reason for not entertaining his offer. I felt it was my "responsibility" to ask for it.
Thank you for taking the time to explain your/teams choice on the matter.I still personally feel spending such a huge amount on venue does not make sense but ultimately the decision is of the local team and I respect that.
Hope you folks have a great PyCon 2018?

I know how much effort goes in finding a venue and also the rest of the
conference planning depends on the venue selection. PyCon India is national
event and the team who has taken the responsibility to run the event should
make sure to involve broader community in such a discussion. If you had
sent a note here in mailing list when the team had started looking for a
venue, it would have given everyone here an opportunity to share other
options and opinions. That way, CMR institute would have come up earlier in
the discussion and we might have had more venue options to look into too.

I don't see any PyCon India discussion coming in mailing list for that
matter, only decisions are announced and people's opinions are rejected
mentioning that the decision was already made and also the time constraint
in going over it again.

I noticed that the sponsorship document is updated and "Diamond" and "A la
Carte" sponsorships are removed and the benefits have been updated as well.
Why was this not discussed in mailing list? Looks like Hyderabad team takes
decision on their own and does not care the community.

Interesting fact is people who questioned the Bangalore team, who took over
PyCon India 2018 initially, are not concerned about all the backend
discussions happening now. Wondering how the community is trusting the
current team when they did not trust us even after sharing all the details
in mailing list.

Noufal doubted us, the Bangalore team, that we might be doing backend
discussions, Bibhas, Anand C and multiple others asked for Meeting minutes
for every minute detail we discussed. Where are they now?

When Chandan raised question on PyCon India 2016 and 2017, Noufal mentioned
that taking discussions offline on telegram groups are wrong and we should
have everything in mailing list. Also he suggested that we should move on
with this year's PyCon India instead of discussing what has happened. And
we are letting the same thing happen again this year. If we are going to
delay things every year to make sure PyCon India happens, when are we going
to solve the problems?

Just to make it clear, am not against the current team but am against
people applying different rules for different set of people. This makes me
think that these people had something either against all of us or against a
particular person in the Bangalore team personally and they did not want us
to do PyCon India 2018.

Can we solve the problems and do things the right way irrespective of who
is organising the event?

Message-ID: <CAL+bSMVs4SY3tZP8P7q+oTknuWYR72FSKTWqFoaBM0O6yLvHwQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello All,

We had our first CFP/sessions workgroup meeting on Thursday, April 12, 2018.

Attendees: Anand C, Navin, Joinal, Vijay Kumar, T K Saurabh, Chirag,
Ramanathan.

 - Jaidev was not able to attend due to some prior commitment at his office
and had informed that offline.


*Minutes:*
1. A mutual introduction among the members was done.

2. An update on the confirmed Keynote Speakers was discussed.
      - Based on suggestions on mail and other channels, we reached out to
multiple Keynote speakers and have gotten confirmation from the following
speakers:
          a. Travis Oliphant
          b. Armin Ronacher
          c. Carol WIlling

3. It was decided to go with 4 Keynote speaker.  A proposal was floated for
6 Keynote speakers. However, a majority of the workgroup felt 6 was heavy
and 4 is reasonable. It was decided to go with 4 Keynote speaker as a
unanimous decision.

4. Proposals for the fourth Keynote speaker from India were discussed.  The
following names came up as proposals.  (I will follow up this on the
Keynote suggestion mail thread).
- Sidu Ponnappa
- Rishabh Mehta
- Anand S
- Professor Janakiraman from IIIT
- Dhanunjaya Neni

5. It was decided not to have any other invited speakers apart from
Keynotes and go via selections from CFP for all non-Keynote sessions.

6. The second hall in the venue can hold up to 220-240 people.  Anand C
mentioned it might not be sufficient and if there are ways to make it
bigger.  The local logistics team will work on this with the venue partner
and see how this can be dealt with.

7. It was decided to have Whatsapp as the primary form of quick
communication within the workgroup.  All discussion points and decisions
taken in the meeting will be published to the wider audience via e-mail.

8. It was decided to have a weekly recurring meeting on Thursday 9 PM IST.
The agenda would be published at least a day before the meeting.  The
meeting will happen in [1].  Anybody interested can feel free to join the
meeting.

9. Next week's primary points of discussion would be on themes and
structures of the conference in terms of tracks and talks.

Best,

Hi All,

I was planning to send out update to the entire group on how we are
progressing - however I see alot of anxious emails.

HydPy team has been working to make Pycon India 2018 a successful event and
to this regard, we have published a tentative plan - which included
conference format, work groups, budgeting etc. On this plan, we received
feedback & have made progress in that direction.

We have formed work groups which include members across India. They have
started discussions & charting the work for the conference. Every decision
& direction taken are towards making this event successful.

We want positive collobration from everyone and would welcome participation
from anyone whether in Workgroups/Volunteers. Lastly, I request everyone to
understand that "Python Community is Larger than the individual
differences", so please participate constructively.

Regards,
Mani

I think you did not get my point. We do not want just an information on
final decision made regarding PyCon India to be sent here but want the
actual discussion to happen here.

Do you mean that people have to be part of workgroup or volunteer to
provide suggestions?
I hope you understand that not everyone in the community can be part of the
workgroup/volunteer and we, PyCon India values every contribution however
small it is and that includes suggestions coming through discussions in
mailing list too.

Just curious, can you please tell me the guidelines used to select people
in workgroups and who all were involved in coming up with guidelines and
selection of people? I don't remember seeing a discussion in mailing list
on the guidelines. How was community involved in this?

How would everyone participate when only the decisions are notified here
and no suggestions are accepted? I expect you to understand that Python
community is Large and the decisions on PyCon India has to be made
involving the large community rather than having a closed group discussion
over Telegram/other modes offline.
Also, not everyone think alike and the things that you feel constructive
might not be considered constructive by all.

I request you not to silence people from asking questions instead make sure
to take everyone together which will not give anybody a chance to
question. Being
a chair of PyCon India is a huge responsibility and some of the
responsibilities are making sure the discussion is happening in mailing
list, justifying the decision taken by the organising committee and
bridging the communication gap between organizing committee and python
community of India. And would request you to justify the venue selection,
updating and publishing sponsorship doc in the website without discussing
here.

I appreciate if you can let others addressed in my previous email to
respond and clarify the queries. Just to remind you, my queries are related
to the way PyCon India is being organized and the community involvement not
just individual differences.

Thanks,
Vanitha

I think the current team is working with transparency & inclusion, where
everything is informed & wherever there is scope for inputs from the
community is being done, more on this mentioned below.

For workgroup selection we basically filtered applicants with some
experience with earlier PyCons. Some of us put effort in reachcing folks
from different cities to be part of the workgroups so that each workgroup
has representation from the maximum python communities possible. Ram has
also reached to you to be part of the workgroups, it would be great to have
everybody working together for the 10th year anniversary. More information
on the workgroups is mentioned here:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2018-March/011880.html, I'll add
the selection process to the same thread as well.

trying their best to be inclusive. When the first proposal was made to the
community to shift the venue to Hyderabad (
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2018-March/011842.html), it made
sense for some things like food, venue etc. to be decided by the local
community. So the same was asked from the community & community as a whole
had agreed upon it before any decision using this framework was taken. As
you can see the other teams like website, social media & cfp are working in
a open & collaborative way in  the mailing list.

on the decisions, specially the ones taken by the community itself. The
conference chair & the team is answerable for the decisions and Mani in
this thread while announcing the venue on March 31st:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2018-March/011884.html, also
promised full transparency including the finances in the doucment mentioned
in the same email, I'll add it here for reference:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pwi69D-cfdiFN8vv6AMbdAJwkIpDipMoB0DmQVaMoug/
and that will be delivered.
For having a discussion about sponsorship brochure & financial discussions
with each sponsor, a public forum might not be the best option, we have
taken inputs from some of the earlier PyCon volunteers & further decision
on the same will be taken by the offical workgroup formed for the purpose.

Thanks again for taking time & sharing your thoughts.

Hi Vanitha,

We have put out the facts and as you might have noticed communication has
always been done on mailing list - now & previously as well.

Team has been working hard on a tight schedule and we expect timely
response to help us take decisions at the right time. Going forward, there
could be more challenges & difficult situations and we expect the community
to support us to overcome and not act hostile.

I hope you will join our work group & work with us to make this conference
successful.

Regards,
Mani

Message-ID: <CACS8Zr9GmydaQ6yX9qaKRK8BsiV-9ujc7X+wSEDSnQxHNFuPJg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Everybody

It's that time of the year again! The excitement amongst many of us have
been rising regarding our beloved conference & call for volunteers is
finally here.

As you know PyCon India is a community event. Here each and every task is
done by a volunteer. And here is the opportunity for You to be a part of
the community.

But before you register to volunteer, there are few things you should be
aware of:

   - Volunteering takes time and effort, sometimes a lot of it. For online
   activities like handling social networks or handling registrations etc take
   a lot of time. And sometimes rapid decisions have to be made. So if you're
   volunteering, make sure you have the time. If you're unavailable at a
   certain time period of the day, let us know beforehand.
   - If you're volunteering for offline activities e.g. on spot
   registration or settings up stages or handling video recording, anything
   that has to be done on the venue during the event, there is a good chance
   that you won't be able to attend the sessions you just registered for. If
   someone needs you, you have to be there.
   - Volunteering is not a free way into the event. At PyCon India,
   everybody buys tickets. Even the event organizers buy tickets. We volunteer
   because we love Python and PyCon, and want the event to be awesome.
   - Volunteers are the most important part of the event. Without the
   volunteers, the event cannot happen. So even if you are attending PyCon for
   the first time, we encourage you to volunteer with whatever you can. If you
   don't want to miss any sessions, then volunteer for smaller tasks.


If you're interested in volunteering, fill up this google form:

Please don't subscribe to the daily digest. Digests are always behind the

a digest.

As many of you might know we are incorporating workgroup structure this
year which will take responsibility for getting things done for various
teams of PyCon India 2018. Here is the brief again:

*Workgroup* - Core group of people responsible for the execution of tasks
mandated for a given team. The workgroup is also responsible for setting
guidelines on the team's working. The workgroup formation was announced
recently here:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2018-April/011914.html

*Volunteers* - The workgroup along with the volunteers execute the various
tasks in the shape and form as agreed within the workgroup. Each Volunteer
team will consist of people from the Workgroup who will assign tasks and
manage the group.

To ease the communication between different volunteer teams, we have
decided to use Discord as our chat platform this year. Discord is free to
use chat platform & is quite popular in the open source community.
Invitation to the discord channels will be sent to you soon after you fill
the volunteer form.

Looking forward to your contribution to the conference. :)

Thanks & Regards
Chirag

Hi all,
There is redesign of FAQ page with accordian style at
https://in.pycon.org/2018/faq-new.html . I would like to have everyone's
feedback on the design. If it looks good we will replace the existing FAQ
page with the newly designed page.

Hi Ananya

I feel the readability & usability of the existing faq page is much better.
Existing page for reference: https://in.pycon.org/2018/faq.html

+1 to Chirag.

If the design team *really* wants an accordion faq page, then maybe go with
a lighter color scheme (eg. https://imgur.com/a/7eG5r). Purely design wise,
I think the proposed accordion design looks very dark right now.

I appreciate all the effort put by Hyderabad team to make PyCon India 2018
a grand one. I agree that the decisions are announced in mailing list. But
once the decision is made, mailing list is used just to share the
information with large group and you cannot have a discussion on that topic
later. My concern is with not communicating at the right time where people
can provide suggestions. I hope you understand what I mean.

Yes, I received an invitation from Ram late in the evening yesterday. As
you know that Python community in India is large, everyone in the community
cannot be accommodated in workgroup/volunteer. And not everyone has the
bandwidth to contribute in work groups. Don't you think it is good to
involve the community which would enable everyone to contribute to PyCon
India in some way?

IMO, work groups should do the initial planning, update mailing list on the
plan, take suggestions from community, improve and evaluate the options
provided, make a final decision and announce in the mailing list again with
justification. Work groups should not just go with the closed room
discussion and just announce the decision.

To mention a current scenario, sponsorship document was updated and it is
published in the website already. Am guessing this would have been shared
with the sponsors also already.
I have set of concerns (mentioned below) with the updated document. How can
we handle this now as it is late to discuss on this? Would not this be
simple, if you had shared the updated document in mailing list and asked
for suggestion before updating website and reaching out to sponsors?


   1. Diamond and A la carte sponsorships are removed.
   2. For 2 days conference with 1000 participants, the sponsorship cost
   seems high for Platinum and Gold.
   3. Logo on the t-shirt for Platinum? How would this be handled if we get
   say 3 sponsors with just 2 sleeves? There is a tweet (
   https://twitter.com/anandology/status/983238586781716480) on this which
   could have been avoided if they have provided an opportunity to discuss
   here.
   4. Platinum sponsors slot is more than half the amount of Gold sponsors
   with more or less equal benefits.
   5. Associate sponsors pay 50,000 and get 6 free passes (24000
   registration cost if we go with 4000 per person) which is equal to Gold.

I have many more concerns.
I presume that this document was updated by sponsorship work group. It
seems to me that the sponsorship document was influenced by someone who
wants to be an associate sponsor for PyCon India this year as the cost for
Associate sponsor was reduced from 1L to 50,000 and additional benefits are
provided for less price if I compare this with the original document
prepared by Bangalore team earlier.

Same case with the venue as well. With HICC being expensive, number of
participants being 1000, and the updated sponsorship document, looks like
participants are bearing most of the conference cost as the registration
fee is increased to 4000. For people travelling form outside Hyderabad, the
expense to attend the conference is really high which we might have to
reconsider.

Yes, there was a query raised in the same mail thread (
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2018-March/011852.html) on the
level of autonomy which is still unanswered. Am not against Hyd team taking
the decision, but a discussion with the community for suggestion before
deciding things are necessary.

Am not suggesting to include mailing list while discussing with each
sponsor, we have sponsorship alias used for the same purpose. As i
mentioned earlier, mailing list should be used to discuss the sponsorship
slots and the benefits not for the discussion with sponsor.

Thanks,
Vanitha

Timely response comes with starting the discussion on time in mailing list.
I understand there is a tight schedule which is always the case with PyCon
India, and that has to be sorted out with dividing the responsibilities
among people not by avoiding the discussion in mailing list.
So am acting hostile just because am questioning your style of working?
IMO, you don't seem to be understanding how community works and you are
shutting everybody who questions which you have done it multiple times with
different set of people already. Being a chair of PyCon India 2018, you
might have to reconsider your attitude towards community.


Thanks,
Vanitha

Hi Vanitha

Hope you are doing fine and we really appreciate your time and effort.

We have seen your response to Chirag mail and he has explained on those
terms. We will be putting again a mail explaining more on sponsorship
brouchers and related information but before that , I want to understand
that everyone is working hard towards making this a successful event with
open discussions. Workgroup/volunteer creation is to divide work and solve
it effectively without rushand confusion

Communication plays a very important role to depict your enthusiasm towards
solving challenges or criticizing others.

As with respect to Mani, since I have worked with him in PyConf, I think I
can correct your viewpoint . Being a chair, its not about having authority
or power, its more about have more responsibility than everyone. He is a
person who keeps community above all and have practiced same in PyConf Hyd
also to keep it great for community as a whole. He is not shutting anyone
and being answerable in all possible situations
He has answered you with full respect and always welcome everyone for
suggestions.

We hope to see you here so that you can yourself understand his/our/PyCon
community "style of working and execution" and can help to make this a
great event !!!

Thanks
Divya Sanghi
PyCon India 2018

If you see the mailing threads regarding CFP, Venue and workgroup formation
you will notice they have been made quite some time back over 2 weeks.
Since we are on a tight schedule we expect everyone on responding to it as
early as possible.

That's what we have been exactly doing. If you see the CFP Workgroup emails
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2018-March/011885.html ,
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2018-April/011954.html this is
the same way we have been planning things.

The mail for venue too was sent long time back
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2018-March/011884.html and as Ram
mentioned in his reply here
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2018-April/011940.html we have
have checked multiple locations to ensure it will be convenient for
everyone and it we can conduct the event smoothly. What most of the people
are assuming after the proposal about CMR college is the cost would have
cut down by large is not correct. Since the location is very far form the
main city and we had to plan logistics in the same way which would have
added to the cost. Also transportation is scarce at that place which would
have make things difficult for participants as well and would have added to
their transportation expenses.

What Mani meant by autonomy was applicable to only the Local logistics team
and not to any other teams. For all other teams we have workgroup formed
and have ensured involvement from everyone in the community. Also we have
reached out to as many people as we can on the same.

 I hope I could address your queries. We from the Hyd team also want to
keep the discussion as much open ended as possible through mailing lists
and we are ready to take the feedbacks provided by the community
constructively to make PyCon India 2018  bigger event !

Hello Vanitha..!

I understand there is a tight schedule which is always the case with PyCon
India, and that has to be sorted out with dividing the responsibilities
among people not by avoiding the discussion in mailing list.

It does seem to me that you are either inactive in mailing list or haven't
known the fact that venue has been changed and responsibilities were taken
half an year later. HydPy team had to take quick decisions to bridge the
time gap. Starting discussions at much later point makes absolutely no
sense. These discussions should have been started by former organising team
and things would have propelled smoothly. If discussion about venue starts
now when do you think it can be finalized?

So am acting hostile just because am questioning your style of working?

You are not hostile for anything. You are questioning so are we replying
back with every detail and you seem to be getting confused about it.

IMO, you don't seem to be understanding how community works and you are
> shutting everybody who questions which you have done it multiple times with

>
Shutting everybody? I don't seem to know how one can shut someone in a
mailing list. You are talking about multiple times. I wonder if you ever
had a conversation with him.

>

Exactly, being so polite and respectful doesn't seem to be good quality
after being chair person. He's such an amazing person and so down to earth
that you can bearly see any attitude in him. He is one of the main reasons
for me to be a part of this community. A gentle reminder that he was the
one who proposed to take PyCon India to Hyderabad so that community grows
and we celebrate 10th anniversary.

Hope to see you at PyCon India 2018, Hyderabad.

Thanks
Regards
Nivesh Krishna

Hi Vanitha,

Sorry for top posting. I would like to clarify certain things.

1. The misunderstanding that you have about the 4000 per ticket is totally
incorrect.  The price of conference + dev sprint will be at a "max"
possible cost of 4000.  The conference regular ticket will not be more than
2000 rupees - there are good chances it will be less.  There are going to
be student and early bird discounts on this price.  This was also mentioned
earlier in the mailing list.  Intentionally, I am not going to point out
where it is.  If you are so concerned about the information shared on the
mailing list, you should have seen it.

2. We have requested you multiple times to be part of some workgroup.  You
were ready to be part of core group when it was in Bangalore and you cited
bandwidth reasons and denied to be in workgroup when it is in Hyderabad.
Yes, it is absolutely your personal choice and we respect it.  But this
difference in your outlook on the time you can spend for PyCon India with
the venue shift doesn't add up very well.

3. Lastly, your personal remarks on Mani are quite disheartening. He has
always been a source of inspiration for many (including me) in HydPy and
has always been a great listener.  I have never seen him shut down people.
And even in your case, he was responding will all respect.  Not sure if you
have worked with him earlier.  If not, your viewpoint will change if you
start - Try taking up a seat in the workgroup.

Hi Vanitha,

Sorry for top posting. I respect your opinions and agree that some of the
things(for instance sponsorship) could have been discussed on the mailing
list before being finalized but going personal/hard on Mani, questioning
his attitude is *NOT* fair here at all.

I'd just humbly request to take forward this discussion constructively,
otherwise, it just creates the situation of never-ending dissension, which
is not good for the community.

Hope to see you at PyCon India 2018.

Regards,
Sanchit

Hi Vanitha,

I respect your concerns. But I feel that you are simply being rude. I am
part of the community and I feel honored to have Mani as a Leader and work
with him. He makes it all worthwhile as I am here more for the community
than the Language itself. This mailing list is enough evident already for
such hostility. I request you not to turn hostile even when you think there
is a reason for it. No one is and should not feel alone in the community.

We as a community are more open than ever. Everyone is welcome to part of
the Workgroups or be a Volunteer as much as the Community itself. Everyone
in the workgroup have their own individual lives and they have come forward
to put their time and energy for a good cause. Please come forward and be
part of the workgroups. I think we can redirect all the time and energy we
spend here on the mailing list trying to find mistakes to the modes of
communication we agreed upon. For anyone really interested in the
conversations and wants to provide suggestions when decisions are taken on
the different workgroups, its just an other subscription to that mode of
communication apart from this mailing list. There is a lot of work in front
us for successful PyCon this year. I am sure your experience and
suggestions will be most welcome in the workgroups.

I hope you understand what I am trying to convey here and see you at PyCon
India 2018.

Thanks!
Nithin

Hi Vishnu Kiran,

First of all, our apologies - as per plan Call for Proposals (CFP) should
have been open sometime last week.  However,  we are running a little late
on the schedule here.  Expect it to be open by next weekend. The exact
details will be published along with the announcement of the opening.

Best,
Ramanathan.

Hi Vanitha

Thanks for taking time to look at the sponsorship brochure and the queries,
I would answer the same with inputs from the workgroup & would be
keeping you in the loop. I still feel the sponsorship is not required to be
discussed in detail in a public forum.

Thanks for agreeing that the new team has been able to achieve
transparency, coming to the decision making each workgroup decision-making
process is individual moderator's & workgroup's responsibility in my
opinion and I think the moderators & the workgroup whenever required are
asking for suggestions on the mailing list. If we feel some of the
workgroups are not doing it, I think the solution will be to let them know
about the same, the names have been published for the purpose if the
problem persists, then it will be escalated to the chair.

I feel sad to see your remarks towards Mani, he has been instrumental in
bringing professionalism in HydPy. As Ram mentioned Mani has been a great
listener & values everybody's opinions and then takes a decision looking at
all the perspectives. I hope you can still take out some time to volunteer
/ join a workgroup, start working with him to understand his working style.

@All
A humble request. I understand that some might still be angry & unhappy
with changes & events which happened in recent past. But it is required for
us to keep our differences aside & work towards solving problems that bring
real value to the community & the conference.

Regards
Chirag

Talk about the timing :-)

Just responded to a similar one -

know if there are other details that you require that is not mentioned
here.  Would be happy to provide details!!

Thanks,

HI Vanitha

I have put forward all of your queries in front of the workgroup & added my

concerns, so if you have regarding sponsorship decisions taken please raise
your queries in that thread. If you have more regarding Venue & local
logistics, please ask the workgroup via Ram.

Thanks & Regards
Chirag

@Noufal
Thanks for the valuable suggestions, some of our team members did the
needful.

@All
The process for selection in the workgroup was past experience & limit of
4-6 people, The plan was that the moderators will filter out the applicants
& Chair will look at the data & make the final decision. In this year's
case we basically just removed applicants with no experience and things
automatically fell into place.
Volunteering is more open where anybody can come & contribute in
coordination with the workgroups.
(Adding this for documentation purposes.)

Thanks & Regards
Chirag

Apologies for not being able to join Thursday's call. I wanted to bring up
certain points of discussion about the proceedings, which I've gathered
over the last two years from many people in the community. These are things
on which I myself may or may not have an opinion or even a solution, but
they definitely should be discussed here. For some of them, we may have to
come to a decision before we open the CFP, others can wait.

1. Changing the proposal categories:
The current categories under which proposals are invited (you can see them
here: https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2017/proposals/) are somewhat outdated.
Talks that are actually catergorized under them don't really fall under
them. Some talks may belong to multiple such categories, some may belong to
none. The point is that these categories have largely lost their utility.
We normally try to have talks uniformly distributed between these
categories but that just ends up making us select one more
less-than-perfect proposal simply because it belongs to an underrepresented
section. Instead of specifically categorizing talks, I suggest we let
people submit proposals, and ask them to tag their proposals, like they
would a blog post or a tweet. Then we can categorize them *a posteriori*.

2. How important are upvotes?
There's enough evidence on both sides. The most upvoted proposals can be
terrible and also very good. So far they've been used only as tie-breakers,
and I suggest we don't change that. However I'm happy to hear other
arguments.

3. Double-blind reviews:
I'm not sure how easy this is to implement. I'm not even sure if this will
have a positive impact on talk quality. I'm personally in favour of this,
since it gets rid of all bias both ways, but I am also aware that this will
involve changing a *lot* of things on Junction and in the review process.

4. Multi-stage reviews:
This involves multiple rounds of proposal->feedback->edits_to_content
between the reviewers and the proposers. We have partially done this in the
past. The most common reason why this fails is because people don't follow
up on their proposals on time. That itself may be happening because we
(reviewers), from our side, are not being clear in our intentions to carry
out reviews in this manner. People probably think that one negative comment
from a reviewer amounts to a straightforward rejection. We must explicitly
communicate (maybe through a blog post or on the Junction page itself),
that multi-stage reviews *will *happen.

5. Detailed debates among reviewers about talks:
I don't remember the last time reviewers sat together or were involved in a
common email thread debating for or against a contentious set of talks. The
Thursday call is one big leap in this direction. IMO this is critical - not
least because it ensures better quality, but also because it is immensely
educating. I had one-on-one conversations with almost every reviewer during
PyCon 2016 and PyCon 2017, but I did not try hard enough to get them all
together. This leads to all their feedback / thoughts / wisdom being locked
up in my brain alone, which I might have easily forgotten.

6. Codifying what a proposal is scored on.
Most reviews end up being very subjective since we don't have a formal
scoring system. Candidates quite often receive piecemeal feedback and end
up skewing the effort they put into improving their proposal.

6. Learning from other conferences:
What's your favourite FOSS community-driven conference? How do they handle
their proceedings?

Everyone is welcome to add to these points or suggest solutions. I'm also
aware that not all of these are solvable, or have to be solved right away -
so do share your thoughts as to how these issues should be prioritized.

Cheers,

Hi Vanitha
        I have tried to keep this discussion civilised and sensbile.
However you are neither willing to work with us nor accept facts presented
instead you are making baseless allegations & attacking me personally.

* "you have done it multiple times with different set of people already"  *

I have never met you & never worked with you - yet you seem to know more
about my working style. I do not appreciate misrepresentation of facts. I
believe you owe me an apology.

This is my last email on this thread. I have better things to do.

Regards,
Mani

The correct way of interacting in discussion thread is to discuss about the
initial main point.

In this thread it was about offer from CMR.

Questions were raised and answered adequately for that with proper
explanations from HydPy team.

This marks the thread closed and solved.

An further discussion about anything should be on a separate thread.


HydPy you do not have to reply to any such attempts to hijack a thread.

Simply ask the person politely to start a new thread then mark thread as
solved and closed for discussion.

?Categorizing by tags might not be the best idea as, if you let speakers
create random tags, they might be wildly different from one talk to another
even when they are around same topic. I agree that the categories used in
previous CFP are a bit vague and not very useful. We can categorize talks
based on some practical use case - e.g. expertise level needed to
comprehend, according to the speaker(easy, moderate, expert etc), because
we've had this conversation many times in past(after PyCOn was over) when
after the conference attendees say that there are not enough expert level
talks, or there were more beginner level talks in comparison. Categorizing
by expertise level needed will help people choose which talks to attend.

I agree that some talks fall under multiple traditional categories. So
maybe we can allow the speakers to assign multiple but predefined
categories, along with expertise level needed. that will be help I think.

?Upvotes are important. Gamification is not a huge issue. But upvotes can
be one parameter of judging. The reviewers should not discard a talk purely
based on upvotes. ?

?This is needed. And from my experience, we should require the proposers to
submit a version of their slides (if any) when submitting the proposal or
within a given day limit and the content should be checked and made changes
to after every stage of review. Because more of then than not, the slides
will have contrast problem, font size problem, and in occasional cases -
violation of code of conduct. I've seen way too many times(not only at
PyCon) that speakers make some remark on stage(often as a joke in their
mind) that violates the CoC. We should take all possible steps so that that
does not happen.?

?Ask speakers to submit a slide along with their proposal. Let them make
last minute edits, but make sure the edits are following the guideline.?


If we have enough time, maybe a skype call with the speaker to judge how
good a speaker they are, can be arranged. I've seen it happen and it helps
with the quality of the talk. But this is something the editorial team can
take a call on.

Just another thing, ?can I suggest that? whenever the CFP team comes across
a gender or race related content in slides of rehearsal talks with the
speaker, they consult with the community? And also maybe make a guideline
for the speakers that mention compliance with the CoC? e.g. No jokes like
"this application is so simple that even my mother/wife can use it" etc.
(This will sounds wildly off-topic, but trust me, I've heard this on stage
in front of hundred of people where the context of the talk was nowhere
near this comment. And more often than not these gets overlooked on the
review stage.)

Of course I don't mind the decision taken by the editorial team if it takes
diversity as a parameter of judging the talks. It can only help and make
things better. PyCon US has a diversity statement that helps -
https://us.pycon.org/2018/about/diversity/ and also a detailed CoC -
https://us.pycon.org/2018/about/code-of-conduct/

CFP is one of the most crucial part of organizing a conference that makes
or breaks the quality of the conference for the attendees. So nothing is
less important here. Let's try to come up with a framework to review talks
that ensures best quality for the attendees.

Cheers.

Yet another baseless allegation and clearly targeted at me. I was the only
one who suggested that Associate sponsorship slab should be less many times
in the mailing list and there were no other associate sponsor other than
Pipal Academy, which I run, in last 2 years.

Have you ever wondered why no one else came forward to become a associate
sponsor in last 2 years and none the year before? Do you expects a startup
to shell out 50K just to get a link back to their website? Would anyone be
so stupid? We at Pipal Academy have made a rule to sponsor every Python
conference in India and we've sponsored everyone of them after we started
(except one we missed last year). Again, not because we are expecting
anything in return, but just because we wanted to be an active part the
community that we've grown up with.

I've been raising my voice from many years that we have to be inclusive.
The startups and local companies are part of the ecosystem and we should
get them part of the community. Just getting more sponsorship money from
googles and microsofts is not enough. We had many small startups came
forward and sponsored PyCon India in the early years and I don't see that
happening and I'm very worried.

For you, it just like like I'm trying to save some money by gaming
sponsorship? It  shows how narrow minded you are, if nothing else.

And, do you know that I'm not part of the sponsorship workshop, I don't
even know who all are in that workgroup and I've never communicated with
them.

If you are in doubt and don't know the context, you should believe that the
other party is working in good faith and give the benefit of doubt.
Throwing baseless allegations like this hurts everyone and discourages
people to come forward and volunteer.

This is not the first time I'm facing this. It consumes so much effort and
drains all the energy to counter these things.

If you can't contribute positively to the conference, just keep quiet and
let people move forward. Please stop pulling us back.

Anand

+ 1 for keeping entry barrier low for startups, we should do more in this
direction, not less.

We need to go further and be more inclusive as Anand States.

@Anand C, thanks for all your support for the community over the years.

Regarding tracks and audience level, we have a proposal.  I am putting it
out here for suggestions.

At a high level, we can view the talks into two dimensions.

*First dimension - Based on talk category*
 - Web & GIS applications with Python
 - Data science with Python
 - General purpose applications with Python - At a high level, this can
include anything from system programming, networks, any automation, etc,.
In other words, everything that does not fall under the first two
categories.

There can very well be few cases where there is an overlap - We can deal
with them on a case by case basis.


*Second dimenstion - based on audience's expertise level*
 - Beginner
 - Intermediate
 - Advanced


The proposal is to make sure there is at least one talk at all the times in
both the dimensions.

Based on the above we can probably have the following suggestions to the
attendees.  Whenever non-Keynote talks are happening, there will be one
talk in each line.

*Green Line* - All beginner talks.  The talks will be explicitly marked and
be beginner friendly.  The talk content will span across all three talk
category. The beginner will get exposed all tracks of Python-related work.
*Orange Line* - All Intermediate level talks.  Again, spans across all
three talk categories.
*Grey Line* - All Advanced talks.   Again, spans across all three talk
categories.
*Yellow Line* - All talks on General purpose applications.  Talks will be
at all expertise levels.
*Red Line* - All talks on Web applications & GIS.  Talks will be at all
expertise levels.
*Blue Line* - All talks on Data Science.  Talks will be at all expertise
levels.

We can maybe have one more line - *White Line* - Talks based on community
and experiences sharing.  We can decide the number of talks to be selected
under this category.  Talks in this line may not be available always.

Of Course, it requires some more thought to make this proposal workable.
Please let us know your suggestions.

Thanks,
Ramanathan.

I'm strongly against this.

IMHO, we should try out best to get more diversity in proposal submissions.
The talk selection process should only consider the talk quality nothing
else.

We can do everything to get more diversity in proposal submissions. May be
provide travel assistance to all female speakers. Spend efforts to reach
out to potential speakers and invite them to propose a talk. But once the
talk selection starts, there are no reservations.

That is my intention as well. No reservation. But when judging proposal, if
any controversial content is faced, take input from a diverse community. I
did not mean to reserve space just for the sake of diversity. Sorry if that
came out wrong.

Hi All,

My apologies for top posting.

Thanks for everyone who responded.

Just to clarify everyone here, I did not ask Hyd team to reconsider the
venue. I only suggested to start the discussion early in the mailing list
to give everybody an option to suggest things earlier which would help Hyd
team with more options. Venue and sponsorship prospectus were the examples
I shared to show how things would have been different if mailing list was
involved for suggestions as well along with final announcements.

@Nivesh, Looks like you joined mailing list recently. Former organising
team had made real good progress with venue and sponsorship, we had
confirmation from few sponsors as well. In fact, the sponsorship prospectus
which Hyd team had updated now was originally created by former organising
team. Please get your facts right before blaming others.
I have been contributing to PyCon India for many years, am one of the PSSI
board members too and I know how PyCon India and mailing list works.


@Ram,
1. Registration fee:
We have never charged for dev sprint separately till date, people wit
conference tickets are allowed on first come first serve basis. I feel
charging 2000 for 2 days dev sprint is too high. Its my 2 cents. If you
want to ignore this telling this is too late to discuss, please go ahead
with the plan.
2. You had sent me a mail after I raised my concern on venue selection in
mailing list to be part of work group and am not sure how your claim is
valid. And just to make it clear, I do not need a request to contribute to
PyCon India. If I had bandwidth to contribute, I would have volunteered
myself.
And, I would appreciate if you stop judging me. Its almost 4 months that I
resigned from core team of PyCon India 2018. My priorities have changed and
I have committed myself to other things where I do not have bandwidth for
PyCon India this year. I do not want to just join work group for the sake
of it and not do anything. I have contributed to PyCon India even when it
was not in Bangalore. I would request you to respect my opinions and not
assume and conclude things on your own.

@Mani and others,
I had responded already why I could not be part of work group, I do not
want you to question my willingness. I do not know you and I do not have
anything against you to attack you personally. I just went with how you
represented yourself in your responses.
Please check the mails from you (
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2018-April/011962.html) and
Chirag (https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2018-April/011958.html).
Chirag's response was constructive and he justified the decisions taken
which helped move things in a positive way. But with your response, it
looked like you were not open for suggestions, want everyone to join
workgroup to provide suggestions and also called me hostile for trying to
clarfy things. Can you see the difference?

With the work groups, we can only have 4 to 5 people per section. Let's say
someone in sponsorship work group has better suggestion on how CFP can be
handled, how would he/she communicate? Likewise, people in mailing list
might have better suggestion too. I just requested the current team to
consider sharing the plan for everyone to have a look and suggest which
helps make PyCon India better. If the current team want to work only with
work groups, please go ahead.

And am happy to see the discussions happening in mailing list now and that
was what I was asking for in all my emails.

Am resting my case with this. I wish a great and grand PyCon India 2018!


Thanks,
Vanitha

Its really sad to see that you took everything on yourself.
My assumption was that sponsorship work group worked on updating the
sponsorship prospectus and I know that you were not part of that work group
as the list was already shared in mailing list. Since Associate sponsorship
slot was provided with more benefits for less price, i just made that
comment unintentionally. I have no idea what made you think that you were
the target.

Once again, I cannot help with your assumptions. I only tried to bring open
discussion culture in PyCon India to avoid any confusion or negativity from
anybody later as how you did it all these years.

You suggested to get the sponsorship discussion in mailing list this
morning which is what am suggesting from last couple of days.

Am not engaging with this discussion anymore. Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks,
Vanitha

Not sure how once can interpret this: "It seems to me that the sponsorship
document was influenced by someone who wants to be an associate sponsor for
PyCon India this year as the cost for Associate sponsor was reduced from 1L
to 50,000"

There was no one other than Pipal Academy interested in Associate
sponsorship in last 3 years and I'm not sure if anyone else will.

" i just made that comment unintentionally ... Am not engaging with this
discussion anymore"

Very good. That is a very nice way to end the conversation!

Apart from DevSprint tickets price, else look okay to me.

Can we re-consider the prices for dev sprints?

 Thank you for your input. We received similar feedback and I'm looking
into it.  We will work-out something on the dev sprints.

Hello everyone,
    We interrupt you broadcast for a small bit of administrivia.

    It's healthy to see a large amount of discussion on the mailing list. 
One little rule which newcomers can follow to help people sort through 
the matters being discussed is to keep threads on topic.

    If a mail thread (or conversation for you gmail'ers) is going on 
about a a topic (e.g. volunteering), please don't reply back to the 
thread with an email talking about a bug on the website. Start a 
separate thread for that with an appropriate subject line.

    If a thread is running for along time and the topic has gradually 
changed or if you're forking the discussion to go off on a tangent which 
is separate from, though relevant to, the original thread, please change 
the subject to "X (was Y)" in the subject so that people know where the 
fork has happened straight from the inbox.

    Please don't top post. Top posting is okay for one on one 
conversation where it's sort of an old fashioned IM. However, top 
posting in a mailing list makes each email in the thread bigger than the 
previous. I finally had a moderation request for an email which got 
blocked because the body was too big. It's also harder to read 
especially if you're trying to make a nuanced reply.

    Now we return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Thanks!

And not just for the money. Companies (especially small ones) are part
of the community and many (if not most) of the volunteers are employed
at such places. Making it easy for them to be part of the event
financially is a good thing.

Hello,

I want to volunteer for the upcoming event but I couldn't see any technical
assistance needed. I will be spending my summer in Delhi and although the
event requires more of non-technical work, I wanted to know are there any
technical volunteer required.

Thank you

Yes there are tasks related to Website and Dev work that need to need to be
done. I recently posted the Website/Dev tasks in the MoM of the Website
Workgroup here
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2018-April/012016.html . You can
volunteer for those tasks.

I would also like to make a small contribution, if there is a slab that
my company can afford, without destabilizing the budget.

Message-ID: <CAL+bSMXz=EpT_jA=mQUHY7B58Ok2vadEADgSA2Q7fpm1OeCggA@mail.gmail.com>

Attendees: Vijaykumar, Anand C, Jaidev, Nithin, Chirag, TK Sourabh,
Ramanathan.


1. A discussion was done on the topics for the CFP opening.  It was agreed
to go ahead with the topics that were used in the last year.  Tracks will
be finalized based on the proposals received.

2. Talk selection criteria - Based on the talk selection committee's
discretion, also by taking public votes as a dimension.  A discussion on
encouraging first time speakers was done - the first time speaker could be
mentored as required.  Relevance, Clarity, and Potential of the talk would
be some important parameters of evaluation.

3. A brief discussion on stage time for Gold, Silver and startup sponsors
was considered.  The CFP WG will consider the feasibility of this alongside
ensuring proper timing of these (if decided to be done).

4. The platinum sponsors get a sponsored talk time.  The exact hall details
of this need to be fleshed out in the future meetings.

5. CFP will be opened this week.  It will be announced there might be more
information shared in next 2-3 weeks about the fine print of selection
process, Guidelines, etc,.


P.S: Apologies - I got a little busy over the weekend and hence the delay
in sending meeting minutes.

Regards,
Ramanathan.

Hey! Akansha 
Sure sure do inform me when you have decided. Also, are you an experienced attendee in this conference. Because seriously, I have no clue how the shared accommodation thing for pycon is organised.

Accommodation is not something managed by PyCon (correct me if I'm wrong),
although they do suggest some hotels nearby.
I've attended PyCon once before, in 2017. ( in Delhi).
Once the tickets are out, we'll discuss this personally! I'll mail you or
vice versa.

Yeah, that's what usually happens.

There will be hotels suggested on the website and you can choose from them
or outside them. Thanks for bringing up the question. This will clarify few
things for everyone. The organizing teams can also pitch in if needed.

I've attended PyCon once before, in 2017. ( in Delhi).

Please be polite on the mailing list and show respect for others. Leaving
rude remarks like this doesn't help anyone.

Accommodation is a genuine concern for people traveling from other cities
and I don't see anything wrong in starting a discussion about it in the
mailing list.

Best,
Anand

Discussions like these are a central purpose of the mailing list. And given
the recent past of this mailing list, I think this is one of the more
useful discussions to have happened here.

Hi Nitika,

Adding to what Aakanksha and Bibhas mentioned. PyCon India doesn't provide
accommodation but information on accommodation & transportation will be
given via blog post 2-3 days prior to the event in a form of a blog post,
keep an eye on social media for the same. We will put up a list of
potential accommodations near the venue at different price points which you
can choose from based on what suits best for you. Similarly, information on
how to reach from railway station/ airport etc. to the venue will also be
provided.

@Gaurav
Tickets will be released by mid of next month & schedule will take few
months, please subscribe to twitter <https://twitter.com/pyconindia> for
announcements.

Regards
Chirag

Subject: [Inpycon] Mentoring Speakers
Message-ID: <CAC7wXFxOphAObD98PzxCJDXj_ot9eTw9=ZLP8kZsN6qzzUNRPA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Everyone,

At the CFP workgroup, we've been discussing how to raise the quality of
talks while encouraging new speakers. Looking around we found that our
friends at PyCon AU[1] and PyOhio[2] have been providing mentorship support
speakers in proposing, preparing, or presenting the talk.

A mentor will be an experienced speaker who is interested to help other
speakers.

If you see, it is really a nice thing. It encourages the first-time
speakers to come forward as they have someone to guide them, increases
diversity (assuming we find diverse mentors) and improves the overall talk
quality. In addition to all this, it creates stronger bonds between people
in the community.

The plan is that the CFP team will come up with an initial list of mentors
and asks the group for more suggestions.

We are still debating about how will the potential speakers pick mentors.
We have been discussing about three possible options. We will have pick one
or more of those options.

1. Publish a list of mentors and let potential speakers contacts them
directly
2. Have a google form and we moderate it
3. Have a public IRC/Slack channel to comminucate

Do you think it is a good idea? Any comments or suggestions?

Subject: [Inpycon] Duration of talks
Message-ID: <CAC7wXFw98VH20tR7ETV7riTJrHN-WUdKaHWtQ5DX9J5uVAJZcQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,

We have had talk duration as 45 minutes (40 minutes + 5 mins for Q/A and
switch over) for historical reasons.

Here is how the other conferences are doing:

PyCon UK - 25 minutes
PyCon AU - 30 minutes
EuroPython - 30, 45 and 60 minutes
US PyCon - 30 and 40 minutes
PyCon DE - 30 and 45 minutes

At the CFP workgroup, we thought it might be a good idea to reduce the
duration of the talk to 30 minutes, including Q&A and switch over. It
forces the speaker, to think deeper, organize better, to stay focused on
the topic and cut down the material that is not essential.

We discussed about the possibility of having both short and long talks, but
adds additional burden on CFP team as that is the an additional parameter
to consider and tune when selecting the talks.

I think it improves the overall talk quality and also provides room for
more talks.

What do you think?

Anand

This is an amazing idea and I am putting forth my support for it.
I'd be happy to register as a speaker mentor for PyCon India.

Broadcast Model. Chaos.

Centralised control. Too limiting.

> 3. Have a public IRC/Slack channel to comminucate

Peer to peer. May not be very efficient.

4. Get a list of mentors and once talks are approved - ask mentors to
express interest in talks/speakers they want to mentor by entering
comments on the CFP. Do this by setting up a mini ML of mentors and
emailing them during final stages of CFP.

Not really broadcast. The potential speakers pick whom to contact. We can
update the page if a mentor is open to take more people or not.

Not really for control, but to make the initial contact. Once the initial
contact is made to a mentor all the communication happens between them.

Again, this is the starting point. I like this mode because people can join
the channel and ask any questions that they may have before deciding
whether or not  seek for a mentor. I guess all we are trying is to do is be
more welcoming.

Mentorship starts even before submitting the talk proposal. I think the
speaker should pick his/her mentor, not the other way around.

Hello Anand,
I think it's a great Ideas of letting mentors guide newbie speakers.
It will definitely encourage the first time speakers like I will also be
submitting a proposal for speaking and this will be my first time at a
conference. So, It definitely feels good to have a mentor to support and
correct the mistakes.

I think the first option is quite suited as speakers can individually
contact the mentor based upon their domain .

+2. The challenge, I guess, would be to find enough speak mentors who
has enough spare time to contribute.

Standing in the shoes of a first time speaker, I vote for this 3rd
option. Any one on the slack / IRC channel could initiate the
conversation if someone new joins and probably ping other speak
mentors maybe depending on their area of expertise or something.

> Do you think it is a good idea? Any comments or suggestions?

Lovely idea. :)

However, wasn't there discussions regarding not making PyCon India a
venue for first time speakers? I was, and still am against that
opinion and I personally feel that first time speakers should be
encouraged to present at PyCon India, but maybe those thoughts need to
filter into this discussion as well.

I'd like to add to this from a first time speaker's perspective.
I'm a first time speaker and wanted to propose a talk.

I think it's better for the event to "miss a good talk than take a risk
with first timers"

But it's just my opinion.

I was one of the people supporting that idea. I guess my point was not
saying no to first timers, but making sure they can give a good talk by
asking them to present at a local meetup before coming to the bigger stage.
I didn't want PyCon India to become a testing ground.

I guess the mentoring program addresses my worries while welcoming
first-time speakers.

I think the "first time speaker", means "first time conference speaker".

Speakers don't grow on trees. Everyone has a first time in a conference.
I always advocated giving chance to new speakers. Speaker mentoring is a
step in the right direction to welcome first time (conference) speakers
to the fold.

Good public speaking is an art and takes years to hon and get right.
Mentoring is a good first step though on further thoughts, any actual
speaker mentoring should involve at least the mentor watching the
speaker giving a talk live and making notes etc. I believe this involves
at least a few rounds of video conferencing via hangouts and similar
channels - assuming the speaker/mentor dont share a city.


Pros: If done right, this can be a great help to promote first time
speakers.

Cons: It is time intensive and the techniques are not obvious.

I wonder how the other conferences did it. Suggestions welcome.

True but cutting your teeth should be done at smaller events rather than
at the biggest conference in the country. I'm not saying that this
prospective speaker should have experience speaking at other conferences
but atleast at user groups and other smaller venues. Absolute first time
public speakers don't make good candidates for the conference. This is
my opinion and I'm willing to be argued out of it.

It's very hard. I mentor speakers at my local toastmasters club. It's
hard to do and takes a lot of time. 

The general idea about having speaker mentors is very good though and
I'm +1 for that. The devil, as usual, hides in the
details. Implementation etc.

+1 to this. Reducing the duration of the talk and then providing mentors
for speakers should improve talk quality considerably.

Another idea could be to arrange for talk rehearsals [1] in the
presence of mentors and other local speakers.
