I'm sorry for not being clear but I meant that the tutorial sessions could
happen before the conference i.e. on Wednesday. Again, this is what PyCon
US traditionally follows, AFAIK.

Organizing the tutorial sessions alongside dev sprints also makes sense
because not all conference participants might be up for the dev sprints.

Ahh. Monies. Makes sense to take things slowly and be cautious with the
budget.

Also, I apologize if I'm poking my nose but is there a sponsorship
prospectus being worked on? I couldn't find one on last year's PyCon Pune
webpage.

Finally, I apologize to everyone for muddying this thread, which was meant
for something else entirely. If there is a different thread or avenue where
I can follow discussions on the organization of upcoming PyCon Pune, please
let know.

Cheers,
Rahul :)
