Hi Shrayas, before we absorb the Code of Conduct, I would
like to ensure that the implementation details are worked
out.

For example, I would like to make sure that we have a process
in place to ensure that somebody who has been banned is not
allowed to attend the meetup.

For the Code of Conduct to be effective a process that
enforces it is required.

Regards,
Vijay

Has iPython (http://ipython.org/) been covered so far? If not is there a
general interest?

I have found that iPython really improves productivity during development
(independent of whether one uses an editor or an IDE) and every Python
developer should incorporate it in their development workflow.

Hi all,
Train ticket Booking on irctc, is open for the month of October!
Its a long weekend because of public holiday on October 2nd, so the tickets
might get sold out fast ( i am just guessing here).

Whoever is going for Pycon India 2015 can book the tickets now itself to
avoid last minute rush.

Regards,

Who was banned and for what? Aren't tech groups supposed to be free 
places?

Agree. Should we have this as a discussion during the meetup itself
then? What is your plan on going about with this?

Karthikeyan, have you read the entire thread? The discussion is on
making Chennaipy more safe for women and a code of conduct could be
one step towards that. Having a code of conduct means we need a way to
enforce that. Vijay was talking about how we could bring such a
process out.

Hope it clears the point.

Shrayas

Well, then if normal coders are presumed unsafe for women, then why not 
we have chennai_py_woman group where they can feel safe.

I strongly believe men and women are equal and both must get the same 
treatment without any partiality. A tech group I feel must have 
technically sound people. He or she may be a saint or a bandit AFK, 
that should not concern us. Neither does one's language and tone must 
be considered.

Putting rules might be appropriate if you have a group of MBA's

Any way I haven't read the entire thread as I am  a new joiner.

It has already been discussed in this thread, request you to please go
through the thread.

> I strongly believe men and women are equal and both must get the same

I agree with you completely but that is an _idealistic_ society. What
we live in is a realistic society where women participation has very
much been curbed. So we can't just sit back and say THIS is how it
will be, go figure. We need to play a proactive role in helping to
bring about this balance.

This will work if the group is completely online and there aren't any
face to face meetups. Who the person is AFK matters during a physical
meetup.

If someone is the most brilliant person technically BUT doesn't have
the right attitude towards his fellow humans, IMHO being technically
awesome amounts to nothing. Respect towards a fellow being should come
first before how much u understand about a concept.

No one has presumed anything, yet.  The goal of this discussion is what
action to take if someone shows up to our free, open event and cannot
behave him/herself and treat everyone with respect in regards to race,
gender, sexual orientation, etc, etc.


>> Any way I haven't read the entire thread as I am  a new joiner.

Not sure if the previous messages are viewable to a new member, but the
idea is to make sure we have a process in place to remove anyone who makes
the environment unsafe (not assuming everyone is unsafe).  Hope this helps
clarify.


>> I strongly believe men and women are equal and both must get the same

I agree, 100%.


>> A tech group I feel must have technically sound people. He or she may be
a saint or a bandit AFK, that should not concern us. Neither does one's
language and tone must be considered.

If someone is acting like a jerk and cannot behave himself, harasses
members of Chennaipy, or otherwise does explicit things to make certain
members feel unsafe or uncomfortable, then I personally don't care how
smart that person is.  I do not believe such divisive individuals belong in
an open community dedicated to sharing knowledge and making networking
connections.

Hopefully, the Code of Conduct will draw a clear line between this idea
that "normal coders are presumed unsafe for women" and people who are
actually actively harmful to the community and this mission to be more
inclusive.

Hope this helps clarify.

A person's language, tone and behavior are important to keep up to the
reputation in the social circles, I presume no one here wants to be
associated with a notorious group. Though this is a open source
community, we don't devalue the effort made by an entity in making
commercial products(I hope you remember and understand why I said
this).

Ya ya, that's my gmail account, but I kept this one because I want to 
move away from google tracking. And this one I primarily used it for my 
hobby and PyGame is one of my hobbies.

Any way I didn't follow ChennaiPy there for a long time and deleted lot 
of ChennaiPy mails there because it clogged my inbox.

With all due respect, you should probably go through the archives and
not just reply to a random email without ascertaining the context
behind it, no?

I am new to ChennaiPy and new to Chennai but I think Chennai is already
safe for women (as compared to Delhi where I come from). While the Code of
Conduct and its enforcement will be a good step, I think culturally Chennai
does not have this problem. Are we worrying about this too much? Safety is
not the issue we need to worry about when it comes to diversity, its
encouragement.

At the risk of sounding uncool and breaking the usual email reply norms-

I think we have diverged from the original goal- To have more women in the
group and to encourage them to participate more often. (?)

IMHO, having a code of conduct, will not attract more women to join the
group. I am still pondering about the less numbers in the fields with which
I am familiar - running, cycling, engineering..

Once again, apologies for not following the email etiquette. :)

I think the Code of Conduct is a tool the community can use to deal with a
situation, should something happen to make the environment feel unsafe.
Also, some of these things aren't common sense or things everyone will
agree on.  Every community has rules, and having them written down lets
everyone know what is expected so there are no surprises later on.

With one in place, that should then set the tone to then encourage more
participation, and it sounds like the decision by Vijay and Shrayas is that
there will be a code of conduct.  So that being the case, perhaps we can:

1.  Evaluate the Code of Conduct and make sure it offers tools to solve any
problems we see.

2.  Focus on ways to encourage more participation from women, as Bindu
suggests.  I am doing this by personally inviting my female colleagues (and
male colleagues as well) to participate in Chennaipy.  In some cases, I
have mentioned the low numbers of women at the events and that they can
help lead the way by showing up.  I am not sure if this is a good strategy
because I don't want my female colleagues to think I am inviting them only
because of their gender and not because of their technical aptitude.  I
would love to hear thoughts of women in the group on how I (and other
members of the community) might approach this better.

Hope this helps,

James

It would have been great, if we were able to require everybody
to bring a printed ticket from the meetup event page. And we
tell the security at the venue to allow people with tickets.
Banning can then be done through meetup.
http://help.meetup.com/customer/portal/articles/604308-banning-a-member

But requiring everybody to get a ticket, can be counterproductive.
People can no longer casually walk in to the meetup. Which is something
we would like to allow.

Or

We could do away with banning clause, for physical meetups, for now.
And add it when there is a *real* need for it. We will just limit
ourselves to warning the offender, and asking the offender
to leave the event.

Regards,
Vijay

We could ask people to furnish their ID card numbers like PAN, DL,
College ID, Employee ID etc. then manually check for banned people and
ask the rest of the folks to bring the ID and produce it to the
security. This shouldn't be an issue as everyone carries some sort of
an ID.

But I guess the objective of having the "Code of Conduct" is

  1. To help retain people who do come to the meetup.  We want to provide
     people an escalation point, and ensure that corrective action is
     taken.

  2. To indicate that we are serious about such misconducts. So that
     if there is somebody out there who feels unsafe coming to the meetup,
     the Code of Conduct, might help shed their apprehensions.

Vijay

Hi Vijay:

Here is my proposal for a talk for June 27th.

--------------------------------------
Title: Building websites using Plone
--------------------------------------

Users of successful websites constantly demand new features and present 
unique requirements. When built using a powerful and flexible Content 
Management System (CMS), it becomes a cinch to provide new 
functionality. This talk provides a gentle introduction to Plone, its 
long track record of success and why you owe it to yourself to look at 
it in closer detail. Some most used and attractive features of Plone 
will be highlighted.

I will be doing a talk on the topic: "Managing Jenkins with Python".

The benefits of using Continuous Integration systems is well
understood today. Jenkins a popular CI system has been adopted
by many organizations. But managing jobs (build tasks) in
Jenkins, can become tedious as the no. of jobs increases.
Autojenkins, a Python package for interacting with Jenkins
greatly simplifies the process of managing Jenkins jobs.
In this talk, I will show how we use Autojenkins at Zilogic
to easily manage over 150 jobs.

Regards,

Hey folks,

>> Anyone else? Chintu seems to be quite active on Fb. Sir could you please?
@Shreyas: Groups are far more interactive compared to pages.
@Everyone: <https://www.facebook.com/groups/chpython/> Here's the group. If
you still think a page is required, I can handle it.

Justifying why they are not using Facebook for discussions. My opinion also

Thanks for referring to my post Rengaraj. Facebook didn't work well for use
because we were solely dependant on it (and the mailing list). Perhaps it
can work somewhat when used in addition to other tools, I'm not sure.

Motive for fb pages/group was to get more footprint, especially students
who aren't aware. Discussion on mailing list is best ofcourse.

Cheers

My only concern is forking the discussion across multiple sites. I
would recommend against having a separate Facebook group. Just notifying
people on Facebook using other mechanisms like status updates, will
be more than sufficient.

I sort of think along the lines of what  Vijay said on discussions
happening at multiple places not being healthy for the community as a whole.

Personally i feel that  most Facebook groups start with great enthusiasm
and eventually becomes dormant over a period of time. Facebook event RSVP's
are mostly a joke AFAIK . They are an often abused feature which rarely
serves the purpose of people attending an actual event.

I think the most effective way of getting more  people to attend the meetup
is talk about it to someone who is interested in Python that we know in
person. Invite them personally and make them feel comfortable to be with a
gang of unknown faces. Asking the geek you know to pay a visit might be an
old fashioned way of doing this, but it sure works in my opinion.

Sangeeth
