Bharath,

Though the logo looks very attractive, the circular logo doesn't go
very well on a website header. Can you try making a rectangular strip
version of the same logo?

If you, Bharat or any other graphics h4x0rZ want to incorporate the
font into the accepted logo, you can get it here

as of now the site is useable as soon as Sree comes up with the CSS. There 
will be bugs, now and for the next 20 years too. But errors will be gracefully 
handled. But the site will not go live until the call for participation, call 
for sponsors and call for papers is finalised. So I suggest that you leave the 
site to us (we will not let you down) and finalise these three things. When 
that is done the site can go live. btw, I will be in a rural location for a 
few days, so my replies may be erratic, but rest assured that the site will be 
developed. I am also setting up something on google code for bug tracking.

I am aware of the problem - it is in the smtp configuration, and am looking 
into it.

How is this coming along? Do you have a first cut we can look at Sree?

There shouldn't be any which totally cripple the site.

These are texts. Someone is already working on the CFP. We'll start a
thread for sponsorships and related stuff later today.

I think they are orthogonal to the site being completely functional.

Okay. This makes me feel good. I'll focus on the other items. As and
when people find bugs or have ideas of enhancements, they'll probably
mail the list and you (as Senthil, Anand(s) and all already have). If
the Google projects is there, we could file bugs directly.

Here are some important issues:

* Home link has to be fixed.
* Occupation has only 2 options. "Student undergraduate" and "student
postgraduate".
* Profile page asks for resume. I don't think that is required.
* The application should be available at http://in.pycon.org/2009 not
http://in.pycon.org/.

Please get rid of 3-step registration and first name last name business.

debug is on for testing - when the site goes live this will be set to off and 
no error messages will be seen.

hi,

1] Wrong password : when i purposely tried using a wrong password (at
http://in.pycon.org/) it does not give a password error message and
remains static. The system does not tell the user their password is
wrong and they need to re-enter it.

2] Is the main page http://in.pycon.org/ content same as
http://in.pycon.org/staticpage/1/? The former shows (see below quote)
content different from the latter.

ok, here are some more errors...

3] add talk : this time i logged in via greenchilly and it allows
users to upload any file type (a  music file, so dont kill me for it
:)). Can you restrict file types after checking the extensions?

Trying to delete the same and upload another file via 'managetalks' is
not possible.

it is not required - it is optional. Many delegates like to put up their 
resumes and most people expect speakers to put up some info about themselves

little difficult - when one says 'presentation materials' one doesn't know what 
form it is going to be in.

it is possible - only thing is that if presentation materials exist, the app 
was not showing the name of the file. Fixed.

yes - this is because the conference dates have not been entered in the 
database - but it is a bug since it should say 'Conference dates not yet 
finalised'. Fixed.

(note, 'fixed' means fixed in my working copy and not necessarily uploaded in 
the database.

I do not know why in.pycon.org is pointing to my demo site - it should not.

Hello Pythonistas.
   We need a few people on the list to pick up these items and work on
them. If you have the time, please mail back to the list and get
started on them.

    It would be best if pages for these items were made on the wiki
from the BangPypers page at http://wiki.python.org/moin/BangPypers

   0. Sponsorship Brochure - This will be the page (and maybe printed
matter) we give to various commercial organisations which we're going
to approach in order to ask them to sponsor the conference. The US
Pycon has a rather comprehensive sponsorship brochure. You can
probably use that for reference.

   1. Call for Proposals - Trilok has accepted this and is working on it.

   2. Invitations to colleges - This will be a stripped down version
of the sponsorship Brochure. punchagan has sent me a list of colleges
which we can shortlist and use.

   Someone needs to pick these items up.

   Please mail the list if you can help out.

Thanks.

Hello Kenneth,
   Issues are coming up for the site and while I have your assurance
that you're on top of things, I need to get some clarity in to things
so that we can move onto the next stage.

   The absence of a public bug tracker prevents us from knowing for
sure if there are critical issues still pending with the site. I see a
couple of mails mentioning crashes (I saw one myself and mailed you).
There are also some minor usability issues.

   We need a hard deadline. I had initially mentioned 7th June. I need
your guarantee that by then, the following will be done.
   0. None of the pages crash with an error 500.
   1. The CSS/ design is complete.
   2. The site has a blog.
   3. The setup is rooted at in.pycon.org/2009 and we have a
redirection from the main domain to /2009.
   4. The site runs with debug=False

   If you feel this is unrealistic, we need to evaluate other options.

Thanks

I joined the mailing list just yesterday and need more info to complete the
page.Suggestions are needed if it's not all decided.

Some questions:
* How to submit? : Are we going to have a submission form (if yes, where
will it be hosted?) or just an email address to send the talks to?

* Conference Dates: ? from dd/mmm/2009 to dd/mmm/2009
I think it's in September. Suggest tentative dates.

* Talk format:

* Types of talks (lightning, regular, tutorial, sprint etc.):
 Are we indeed going to have all these types of talks? will the length of
these be same as Pycon US?

* What is the deadline for submission? Say a month before the conference
date?



Thanks,
Trilok

Kenneth should be able to give you this.

This http://wiki.python.org/moin/BangPypers/Meeting17May2009 has the
details you desire.

Also there (and on the previous minutes) - link on the BangPypers page.

You can assume so for now. I think 40 or so minutes for the regular
and tutorial. Lightning would be around 15 I think. Sprints are longer
and mor einteractive.

We need to fix that so you can leave it for now.

Basically, the overall content should be ready and proofread. We can
fill in details like dates as we finalise them.

what do you mean by blog? the site has ability to make posts and comments on 
posts. I do not think you have tested/looked at that. If this falls within the 
definition of 'blog' then it has a blog. Otherwise no.

I took a look. I'm not sure if the page has an RSS feed. That would be
useful to people who want to get notifications of things. Apart from
that, it's pretty blog like. My interest is in making sure we have
something that 'leads' to the conference.

Yes but since you're the one who's handling the site, I need your
estimates on this. If you tell me that you can do it, I'm fine. If
not, we'll have to think of something feels.

Thanks Sree. I expect that we'll have to make multiple iterations to
finalise a look and feel. I look forward to seeing the first cut. :)

Okay. A couple of guys are working on drafts of the CFP and other pages.
Sree should be able to have a design ready soon.

I think we should be able to 'launch' the site latest by 7th.

I am sorry that I am not in a position right now to help more
due to work pressure.

I will come back to the list in a couple of weeks when I am more
free and pick up some tasks.

You seem to be doing pretty well, keep it up.

Are we going to have 2 "parallel" tracks?

I know what sprints are, but we need people who regularly commit to
repositories of projects in PythonSphere to lead and guide the
sprints, if we are to have any. Or shall we just start with a bug list
and get going?

Yes but you needn't worry about the URL. That's a minor detail
compared to the actual document.

I personally know 2 such people. I'm sure there are lots more.
Again, I don't feel this is gating. You can mark places with a "TBD"
or something if you're unclear about the details.

Here is a draft i culled up from various sources :

INPycon 2009
============
Pycon-India 2009 [InPycon] is a community conference by the Python
developer community. A purely volunteer effort, it is being hosted for
the first time in India, and will attract some of the best minds in
the world of Free/Libre Source Software.

InPycon-2009 will be held in Bangalore, India, between Saturday,26th
September2009 and Sunday 27th September 2009. In true Libre software
spirit, INPycon is a volunteer run conference making INPycon2009
reliant on sponsorship to help turn it into a successful and memorable
event.

This is the first time that a purely volunteer driven effort by the
Indian Python community is organising the conference inside India. It
is a great opportunity to present Linux and free/libre source software
to schools and colleges in India, and to present India's growing
Python industry to the rest of the world.


How To Sponsor INPyCon 2009
==================
INPycon2009 will attract an estimated 200-300 speakers, delegates,
volunteers and organisers from the Indian FLOSS community and
industry.  A large majority of the attendees will identify themselves
as Professional Delegates providing strong opportunity to promote your
brand to a number of influential business professionals.

In time this will scale into a truly international conference with
Python developers and enthusiasts from a variety of backgrounds. Your
sponsorship will help keep INPyCon affordable and accessible to the
widest possible audience while helping you connect to the
sophisticated Python community. A wide variety of sponsorships are
available to match your goals and your budget.

Available sponsorships include:

    * Diamond level sponsorships (TBD)
    * Platinum level sponsorships (TBD)
    * Gold level sponsorships (TBD)
    * Silver level sponsorships (TBD)
    * Sprint sponsorships (TBD)
    * Media sponsorships (TBD)

Other opportunities are also available:

    * Sponsored Development Sprints (TBD)
    * Conference SWAG (?) (TBD)

Questions? Please contact Noufal Ibrahim <noufal at gmail.com>, the
INPyCon coordinator.

General Conference Information
===================
Conference Profile:

    * Two day Expo Hall: 2009Sept26-27
    * Two tutorial days: 2009Sept26-27
    * Development sprints: 2009Sept26-27
    * Python Language Summit: 2009Sept26-27

Note : It is  a WIP as i need information on the sponsorship rates to
be charged before it can be mailed out. Since this has not been
discussed on the list, i have left it empty with a TBD note.

If someone else has worked on it please say so.

Thoughts?

This is really neat! Thanks. :)

I'll look at it later today and I expect some of the other people will
eyeball it as well. After we're done nitpicking, punchagan can make a
slightly altered version which we can use to send out to colleges.

I've made a link to this on the BangPypers page at the wiki.

I think, like Noufal pointed out in the meet on May 17th, we don't
want the event to be portrayed as a Python + Free/Libre Software
event. It might put off the developers (or companies) who extensively
use Python but aren't very interested in (contributing to) the
Free/Libre Software community.

I see that only PyCon US mentions being 'underwritten by the Python
Software Foundation'. I don't know if we can and should mention the
support being extended by PSF.

this is a programming event dealing with the python language - it is platform 
neutral and neutral as far as proprietary/open source is concerned. As long as 
it is python it is acceptable. Otherwise sounds good.

I second the non-emphasis on Open Source/Free Software. We should
emphasise that's it about Python. That will attract the companies who
are interested. As for the hackers, this is a non-issue.

Okay so here are the TBD items so far.
 - Deployed site (bugs fixed + design)
   - Kenneth + Sree are the people heading this.
 - Polish the promotional literature and put it on the site.
   - Trilok, VIda and Punchagan are the people who are mainly looking at this.
   - I see some feedback that has come to the list, if you Vida can
incorporate it into the page, it would be great. I'll send some more
feedback by tomorrow. BEen completely tied up at work today.

Once these two are done, we can have a F2F to decide the road ahead. I
think money matters and sponsorship are the next item.

I will be away for the rest of this week and while I won't be
completely offline (perish the very thought!), I won't have complete
access to the net. I'll be a little delayed in my replies till the
7th.

Thanks everyone! An Indian PyCon is moving towards becoming a reality. :)

Can we use the name "Pycon India 2009" instead of "IN Pycon 2009" in
all the promotional literature?

I also felt that the dark blue of the logo background could be predominant, 
but that can always be tweaked. I will put the final version up on greenchilly 
sometime on the 7th and then we can point in.pycon.org/2009/ to it and go 
live. I hope the calls for participation/papers/sponsors will be ready by 
then. As for sponsors, we need to decide the amounts they pay - platinum, 
gold, silver, bronze etc.

I have been working to incorporate Sree's design - to the best of my ability 
most of it is done and available for viewing on greenchilly. Another day's 
work should do it. But the site looks usable and fairly decent. Debug is still 
on as some of the migration work is not over. Once call for participation is 
ready, we can launch.

I do not want to point fingers at any one for the delay, but if we are to have 
a successful conference, volunteers should either do what they volunteer for 
in time or keep quiet and not volunteer at all.

+1. Sounds much better.

I was without internet for the past 4 days *shudder* *shudder*. Just
got back online. I haven't had time to read through the mails in my
mailbox which got accumulated. I'll do so tommorow and get back into
the groove.

Need to step in here since I was assigned to work on the 'call for
proposals' page first.
I have compiled a draft on the wiki with some sections of the page
filed-in. I asked some (hopefully relevant) questions and filled in a
few more blanks after receiving the answers. I then conveyed that I
will not be able to finish the page (without expressing any
frustration.) since I feel fishing through archives and making
guessesis not the best way to put some objective data like deadlines,
list of tracks etc.

Please review the existing draft and help finish it if you are in a
position to do so.

Regards,
Trilok

Here is a draft of the invitation to be sent to colleges. Please comment on it.

Invitation - PyCon India 2009

What is PyCon India 2009?
-------------------------
Pycon India 2009 is a community conference by the Indian Python user
and developer community. It is aimed at pythonistas of all shapes and
sizes. The conference is expected to be a mix of Tutorials, General
Talks, Lightning Talks, Workshops and Programming Sprints.

Who's organizing?
-----------------
The conference is being run by the PyCon India Society, which has been
set up specially for this and future conferences.[Is this being done?]
The Conference and Society have been initiated by BangPypers - the
Bangalore Python User Group

Why?
----
The idea is to provide a platform for Pythonistas from around the
country to come together and have a fun Pythonic time. The conference
also aims to serve as a rallying point for the python user groups
across India to come together and work on something larger than the
sum of the parts. The event aims to be a local event of a global
scale, giving Indian programmers exposure to world class programmers
and personalities. We also hope to encourage college students to use
python in their work.

When?
-----
26th and 27th September, 2009

Where?
------
CSA Lecture Halls, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore
http://in.pycon.org on the web.

How to Register?
----------------
Register at http://in.pycon.org before Aug 1st [TBD] (Early Bird
Registration : Rs 200/-)
Or just drop in at the venue on the event days (Spot Registration : Rs 300/-)

Kennth,

I'm finding the website very slow. It is taking more than 10 secs to
load just the html.

$ time curl -s 'http://in.pycon.org/' > /dev/null

real	0m12.140s
user	0m0.005s
sys	0m0.005s

Is it possible to improve this?

Few of my suggestions:

>

Need to mention website in the very second line.

>

First sentence OK. For the second sentence:

It is aimed at Python programmers, enthusiasts, new comers to Python
as well as developers of other languages. The conference is expected
to be a mix of Tutorials and Talks by Experts. There would be coding
sessions in the form of Sprints.

I don't know if we have decided on the naming yet. But is it Okay.

Well, people don't ask why. So this may wont be required.
We are going to have fun.
Can you please explain to me as 'Why you should have fun'. :)

debug is on and caching is not enabled - will improve when those two are done

Just curious. How does caching at the application end (or web-server
end) improves the response rate?

no idea. Everyone says it improves the response rate, so I do it. Presumably 
it keeps stuff in memory and serves it from there instead of hitting the db.

If it can prevent pages from being 'generated' and pick them up from a
cache, you'll save some time.

especially as there is _no_ static content on the site.

hi,

I have reset the database, and as far as I am concerned, we are ready to point 
in.pycon.org to the site. There are still many minor things to be done - but 
no show stoppers. So if you people agree, I will give Anand C the ip to which 
the in.pycon.org is to point to and we can get going.

Ranganath had mailed me earlier saying that he can help you with
admining the site in Bangalore. I've CCed him here.  You guys can
coordinate amongst yourselves.

The DNS records are already updated and  in.pycon.org *does* point to
your site.

Here are the things I know that need to be done before we go live (ie.
mail David Goodger and ask him to announce it). I have put these on
bitbucket. They're not all code specific things but tasks rather that
need to be done before we go live.  I couldn't find a 'task' type so I
made it a bug.

 - It would be nice if you could take care of the /2009 detail.

 - The 3 things (Call for Sponsors, Call for Proposals and invitations
to colleges) are there on the wiki and are being edited. I'll look
over them and we can move them over to the official site.

 - RSS feeds for the pages.

 - There are some CSS hiccoughs

I spotted another bug.

I went to http://in.pycon.org and clicked register. It showed message
"You are already registered". What am I supposed to do now?

Not required. Either Anand Pillai or I can do that. We have been
granted the access to the anouncement blog.

Kenneth: I think one more round of testing to ascertain things (from
tester's POV) would be a good thing. I shall spend some time on it.

Kenneth has set up a bug db for the project (just in case any of you

the site is still greenchilly. I have not yet activated in.pycon.org at my 
end. I can only do this when I am formally informed that in.pycon.org is 
pointing to 92.243.6.170 which is the IP address of my server.

The registration link still fails for the greenchilly site
http://greenchilly.in/register/ says "You are already registered"

 Yes, no need to ask David to do this. Senthil, if you want to do
 the honours, go ahead as I am quite busy.

it done.

google is already quite full of results showing the experimental pages.

 Substantiating exactly my point of not going live before you finish....
 Btw, if you want google to stop crawling modify your robots.txt
 at root as follows.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /


I guess the Google bot obeys REP.

in.pycon.org is _still_ pointing to the greenchilly site. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE

This was my blunder from a while ago. Anand's (C) the one who's got
control over the DNS records. He's in a different timezone right now
but I've asked him to change it. It should be pointing somewhere else
by tomorrow.

Okay. It's changed. It'll take a while to propogate. Once we've ironed
out the rest of the problems, we'll make it point back.

since the database has been reset, you have to register afresh. The issue with 
password reset is in the bug database and will be resolved shortly.

I have thought that we should have a meetup in person, look at the
things which have been completed, things to do and then go ahead with
the launch, making annoucements etc.

Views please.

I agree but I think we should postpone that till the *obvious* items
are closed. There are still technical issues/bugs with the site that
need to be cleared up. I recommend that you open tickets on bitbucket
for any problems you face and once all of them are cleared up, we can
put up some of the content on the site and then do an F2F.

A real life meeting right now seems premature.

Sorry, I meant Bangpypers. whoever is involved with PyCon India at BangPypers.
That too to tally the work, reinforce things todo and be on the same

Did not mean meeting up complete InPyCon group.

please log this and others if you find any at

Otherwise, we'll lose track of them and won't know if we're done or not.

Hello Kenneth,
   Can you add my account (nibrahim) on greenchilly to the admin
group? I want to try uploading the content today and see what the site
will look like when it goes live.

    I hit a bug with the pw reset and filed it.

    BTW, is there not a single tracker for the entire fossconf
software? I see two lists at
http://bitbucket.org/lawgon/fossconf/issues/?status=new&status=open and
http://bitbucket.org/theju/fossconf/issues/?status=new&status=open

    Am I doing something wrong? Are issues filed against branches?

Thanks.

Hello everyone,
     Our site has a design which looks good. However, there are still
some details which look ugly and mar it from being released. Here are
some which I can see.

- There's an ugly white line under 'posts'.
- The orange colour for the links on a green background doesn't look good.
- The gap between the menu items makes them look like they're floating
and ungrouped.
- The posts menu on the right looks like it's summarising the posts
that are there but the layout is not nice. It's taking up too much
space and messing up the menubar.

Sree,
     Can you wrap this up so that we can go live. If you don't have
free cycles, please let us know and we might be able to search for
someone else.

Thanks.

Hello everyone,
  We have drafts of the
  0. Call for proposals - http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndiaCallForProposals
  1. Sponsorship brochure - http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIN_Sponsors
  2. Invitation to colleges -
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndiaInvitation (right now, it's
general).

  Kenneth's application is almost ready and we need these three docs
to be proofread and cleaned up. If you have something concrete and
actionable to do, go ahead and edit it on the wiki. If it's a massive
change, please consult with the list before editing.

  Once we put the things on the site, we can go live and I'm eager to
move on the next stage of our conference.

Thanks.

1. Register at the site
2. Fill in relevant parts of your profile - which makes you a delegate. 
Registration will point you to the profile page, or you can click your username 
on the top right hand part of the site which will be displayed after you log 
in
3. Click on 'propose a talk' and fill in the form. Note that the abstract of 
the talk is a compulsory field, whereas presentation materials is optional. 
4. If there is more than one speaker for the talk, ask the co-speakers to 
register and then you can add them to the talk
5. All speakers can edit the talk details
6. No facility to remove a talk - currently you will have to ask an admin to 
do so.
7. Talk details are public and talks can be rated and commented on.
8. Talks will be selected by the concerned committee taking into account the 
ratings and comments. This does not necessarily mean that the highest rated 
talks will be mechanically selected.
9. If a delegate does not upload a photo, the default zoozoo will be shown.

Bharath, if you are in this list.. then this request is for you.
We have a good logo, but just adjacent to the logo, there is plain H1
no frills font which declares PyCon India 2009.

Is it possible for you (or anyone else) to make a header (banner). 
With the logo on the left side. The wordings on the image might look
better than just h1 text.

Thanks Kenneth. I could create a test talk by following these instructions.

Can someone please add these instructions to a static page on the
site/ Pycon wiki so that a link to the same can be provided from the
CallForProposals?

Regards,
Trilok

Can we do something about that logo ? The green outline around it looks
really ugly and does not match the logo colour at all. It would be better to

have a blue outline.

Also, the logo looked fine big, but the small one does not look very nice
on Firefox. It looks quite a bit "choppy".

I had asked the author to fix it - no response so far. Always a mistake to have 
too much detail in a logo.

Let's finish off the other details. If there's no response, we can
replace the logo with our runner up. The current one is hard to read.

currently the landing page is posts and there is no home page. The colour of 
this particular bikeshed is immaterial to me. I will implement whatever is 
decided. btw, pycon us and pycon europe both do not have a home page - the 
landing page is the 'about' page.

I decided to play a bit with pycon site and I found there are still
various quirks ,which has been reported, but I guess lack of resources
to fix.

Things like Login is a the top right hand corner and Register is in
the menu, towards left.
First Name and Last Name Confusions and * this is Required is beneath
both these fields.

Is the Logo changes done yet? If its not yet done, then having a
banner with the logo would also be a nice idea.

More seriously, there was an Exception while using the site.

I am going ahead with reporting them at github maintained by kenneth.

Immaterial to me too as long as the anytime first user, get these
things staring at this face.

1) Dates and Location of the Conference.
2) How to Register.

Yup, taken it. :)


BTW Folks, I spent about an hour with the site exploring various
options and I find that everything is intact! :) 

Except for the one Exception (which was reported and promptly fixed),
I did not land up on any other issue. 

* I see that search is in progress and it might get added soon.

Do we need to do a testing at 
http://in.pycon.org/2009 (When it is up?)

Once we make it there, I am assuming that there wont be feature
additions (like search addition) entertained.

Which also means, any things TODO with respect to fossconf would be
done before go to in.pycon.org/2009.

What's our next step?

I've asked a couple of friends to take a look at the site and try
registering to see if it's fine. It'd be useful to have some 3rd party
opinions.

One thing I feel is that menus are grouped inappropriately. Things
like "statistics" don't belong in the main menu. I'll give you my
suggestions of breaking them down later roday.

it will be the same site - only change will be in the apache conf - and one or 
two hardcoded urls (mail id for example)

feature additions will always be entertained and implemented if feasible.

no. I am sure the community will find a zillion improvements needed as we go 
on. Right now all we need to see is if there are any show stoppers - you found 
one with the upload of delegate photos. I do not think there are others. And 
the design makeover has not yet been presented.

Sree has committed to finishing off the design bits by tonight. If you
have friends who might be willing to tcheck out the site, please ask
them to do so so that that we can independent feedback.

I understand this stance, but my worry was in terms of additions that
may stand at the breaking other features. For e.g. after search
addition, one has to be sure that nothing else is broken. (Have not
looked at the patch yet, so I don't know if its independent)

It may be tackled by.

1) Being sure that the change is independent.
2) Unit Testing Frameworks.. (Wow! they are such a nice thing for
OSS).

But I guess, fossconf currently does not have Unittests which could be
run as a regression for changes made.

As we are in the process of conducting Pycon India, I would suggest you to
hang around at this list to oversee or even pitch in with guidance.

This would help with building a rapport, if we are to with apac level
conference.

django has all this in place - but I have not yet brought it into this 
software. But I find that even with the most sophisticated testing, stuff still 
crashes in production. A very interesting case study is melange which google 
uses to run the GSOC programme. It has been driving mentors crazy for the last 
4 years - but in the end, somehow, it delivers the goods (albeit somewhat 
damaged)

Hello Liew,
    Good to see you here. I hope I got your first name right. :)

     I had gone through the SG PyCon site a month or two ago when we
just started. All our discussions for various aspects of the
conference we're planning to hold will take place here. We had an
introduction thread a while ago which you can get from the list
archives if you're interested.

Thanks

Hi

Great! Will keep you updated as PyCon develops here and my hope is that news
of the conference gets to the Python community in India when this happens
next year.

All the best on your own arrangements!

Hello everyone,
   The site is pretty much done. The people I talked to about it gave
me some feedback which I'm putting here. They align with my own
opinions. The site is mostly done. I think Kenneth should be able to
finish these off quickly. In any case, they're not gating.
   As for the stylistic issues, Sree is patching things tonight. The
H1 size needs to be reduced. It's too big.

   Here is how I think the menus should be organised. Please offer suggestions.

** On the left.
About:
  - About PyCon (time/place etc.)
  - Blog/Event postings (RSS icon)

Participate
  - Call for proposals
  - Register
  - Propose talk
  - Update/Manage talk
  - List of speakers and talks (RSS icon)

Help:
  - Site FAQ
  - Contact

Sponsors
  - Sponsorship brochure

Invitations
  - Invitation to colleges.


** On the right
 - Sponsors
   - Gold
   - Silver
   - Bronze

 - Links
   - BangPypers
   - inpycon list


I think we can drop the statistics/volunteers etc. links. They simply
clutter things. We have the list and people can mail in here to
volunteer. The statistics and other things are nice for Admins but not
for the general public.

If you have any objections, please mail back. If not, can you
reorganise the menus like this Kenneth?

We need an F2F to move ahead. It's short notice but are any people
free on this Sunday afternoon for a meeting?

Thanks.

Looks good.
I'm not sure if we need gold/silver/bronze distinction for sponsors.

It seems to be a 'standard' but I guess we could have  plain ul of sponsors.

Cay 4:00 pm? Is that okay? Same Barista. Same street (Church Street,
Off Brigade Road, Opposite Java City).

We can take any of the logos on the logos page and use them as a
badge. It's not really a 'high priority' thing in my list though.

Can we make it slightly early? How about 2PM or 3PM?
I'm fine with the venue.

3 is fine by me. This makes sense only if sufficient people are going
to be there.

those who pay more get the higher distinction and are ranked first. This is 
standard and should not be changed. The only thing that may be changed is the 
nomenclature. Platinum, diamond, gold, silver - and of course, special things 
like media sponsor, equipment sponsor etc.

This is a standard of sorts so i think we should keep it.

Is there anyone else who can attend on Sunday?

BTW Kenneth,
   Can you fix issues 20, 9 and 18 today? That and the menu reorganisation
mentioned earlier in this thread will let us go live. I'll try to get in
touch with Sree to wrap up the remaining CSS bits. I'm hoping that we can go
through the 3 docs this Sunday and come up with final versions we can put on
the site.

Thanks.

of the three issues 2 are css related. The main thing is getting the three 
docs ready. Menus are anyway dynamic and reorganisation will take a few 
minutes only and can be altered at any time. I would prefer to be given a 
clear direction after the F2F and then can do that.

One caveat about the design by Sree, he is apparently working on it, but 
unfortunately has not shared any of the code so far. The structure of the site 
has changed a lot in the last week or so, so I have no idea in what form he is 
going to submit his changes and how long it will take to incorporate them. I 
had asked him to set up a repo and keep committing changes so we could be in 
sync, but apparently he prefers to do it his own way. So I feel that once you 
decide:

1. When early bird closes (I suggest september 1st
2. Amounts we are asking for the various types of sponsorships
3. List of talk types (one or two are enough, we can always add more)

we can go live and incorporate Sree's design changes as and when they come.

Hello everyone,

The site is ready.

Kenneth,
  Can you fix issue 20 (and 18 if possible), make the site run in
production mode and put it online?
  Please reply to this email and Anand can make the URL point to greenchilly.in

We have 2 main tasks ahead of us now.

0. Get the venue and facilities ready (Venue + Sponsorship)
1. Publicity

Anand has spoken to the folks at IISc. and the venue shouldn't be a problem.

For publicity, I need the people here who are on Python and other
relevant mailing lists to send out mails regaring the conference. The
general layout will be as follows (the wording is off the cuff so feel
free to make changes. The important elements are an invitation, the
venue and the date).
---
Hi,
   We're holding a nationwide Python conference. The first PyCon in
India. Our site is at in.pycon.org/2009 and the event will be held in
late September. We are holding it at IISc. Bangalore in the CSA
department. We are trying to make it a gathering for Python hackers to
discuss their favourite language and to hang out so do try and make
it.
----
Please CC me on the invitations so that I can keep a list of the
mailing lists we've mailed to and put them up on the wiki.

For Sponsorship, I need all the folks here who are working in
companies that use Python to investigate whether such possibilities

Python quite a bit. I'm not sure of others. Please don't request
formally since we have to clean up the sponsorship brochure and

whether we can get it or not.

Thanks.

I have now added cache and switched debug off - cannot really judge the speed 
from here as I have a lousy connection. I am running memcached, and if anyone 
else has a server on which memcached is running, we could use that also.

Our objectives while sending this would be:

1) Delegates register for the event.
2) People submit the talks and plan for the event.

So, are we decided on:

1) How the delegates will pay?
2) Rules and Regulations?

I don't see the *policy* information anywhere at the site now. 
These would be of utmost importance to visitors from mailing lists
(say python-announce) who might plan for this event.

hi,

I have used memcached on my server to speed up the site. Since the server has 
only 256 MB of RAM, this does not help much. I have also used memory from 
another server of mine - that has 2GB but is heavily loaded with about 20 
sites running on it. Does anyone have memory they can share? All you need to 
do is run memcached and give me the IP address and port number.

Why do you need memcached for a simple site with just 10 pages?

Something is seriously wrong if you need memcached for such a small site.

the site has I think 256 MB of RAM and runs 7 django sites - I do not *need* 
memcached - I have just installed it and it has speeded up the site 
dramatically. Maybe there are other cached backends that I could use, but 
memcached is the easiest to install.

Ah. Now you're talking. 256 MB with 7 django apps is a bit of a squeeze.

I still see the statistics item on the menu. Can you get rid of that?

I need ballpark figures for the expected sponsorship amount
(preferably by each sponsorship type) to move forward; this was the
first question that I was asked.

Subject: [Inpycon] Sponsorships
Message-ID: <9963e56e0906220218l9647743q90f5da9cbe7c2ce@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,
   This is the overall idea in my mind about the sponsorships. Please comment.

Total costs:
  - Food costs for two days for around 200 people comes to around
50000 INR (30000 INR meals + 16000 snacks) [This is based on numbers I
got from Anand]
  - The venue and wifi are already taken care of by IISc.
  - Swag. T shirts etc. will come to around (say) 50000 (200 T shirts
at 200 INR per T shirt + 10k for anything else)
  - There *might* be some miscellaneous infrastructure costs (mic.
etc.). A ballpark number is 30000 INr

This means that the total cost comes to around 50000 + 50000 + 30000 =
130000 INR.

It would be easiest to try to get sponsors look after individual items
(ie. One guy for food, one guy for snacks etc.). If we can get a list
of companies which we can approach, it might also make sense to split
this equally amongst all the companies (ie. If we are planning to talk
to 5 companies, we pitch around 26k to each).

   I met with Anand yesterday for the F2F and he brought up a very
valid point that our aim with calling companies should be to maximise
participation of companies who are really interested in Python and not
just to raise funds. In this regard, it would be nice to have a list
companies we can approach. The total amount is there above. We need to
split this amongst the companies we're going to talk to. Here are the
ones I can think of.

Companies interested in Python:
  - ZeOmega (Baiju can be a contact here)
  - Tachyon (Anand C.)
  - Global analytics (Anand C.)
  - Cisco (Noufal)
  - Mahiti

  Please reply to the list letting us know what you think about this.
I think this can be a starting point for the actual sponsorship
brochure a draft of which vida has put ont he wiki.

Thanks.

 It is a bear hug. Solution: Add more RAM, 256 MB ain't enough to run
nothing

and make sure we are all on the same page. In fossconf, it was decided to 
double the sponsorship amount, but the guy in charge did not check his mail 
and issued the request for sponsorships at half the amount. Companies 
committed. It was too late to go back.

Ranganath is putting some more pages on the site. It should be done by
the end of today. I'll send a mail out once this is done. After that,
we need everyone's help to publicise the event so that we get enough
participants.

We're hoping to draw in 150-200 people and this won't happen if we
don't advertise the event sufficiently.

I did some re-organisation, but looking at the IISc logo, I find it is the 200 
pixel logo. Our site displays at 120 pixels. So the the only fix is to get a 
100 pixel logo from them.

we can mail them for one but this is not something that's gating our rollout.

Ranganath has just copy edited the site and I personally feel it's
fine. Can you guys take a look at http://greenchilly.in/2009/ and
comment? If there are no objections, I think we can change the DNS
records so that in.pycon.org points to greenchilly.in and start off
with the publicity.

please do NOT point it to greenchilly.in - that is a site for cooking recipes 
which I was using temporarily to demo this site. Please point it to:

92.243.6.170 which is the IP address of the server.

Should be fine.

Any comments on the content?

Also, why does the / URL work directly? I was under the impression
that / should use some HTTP redirect to send the client to /2009.

working on that. Every time I do a redirect something else gets messed up. 
When the solution is thoroughly tested I will put it up.

Perhaps delete off some of the test users. I don't want to delete the

Ranganath, I have updated the sponsors page in the wiki, can you
please update the one in the site?

http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIN_Sponsors

Also, can you change the "register" link in the main page to
"http://in.pycon.org/2009/register/"?

Anand

delete all the delegates, let the users remain as they will all want to become 
delegates. Also delete the one post that is there. The rest can remain.

[..]

I've deleted the post and all the delegates.
I have also updated the sponsorship page.

Please take a look. If anyone sees any other problems, please yell. If
not, Anand, can you make the necessary DNS changes so that we can
start?

Thanks.

in the invitations page 'In true Libre software spirit,' should be deleted. 
The feedback I have is that most of the delegates will not be FOSS/OSS people.

hi,
to activate menus, you need to go to menu items -> change, select the one you 
want and tick 'active'. You can also change the order. I am out for the 
weekend, so I hope I do not have a bunch of panic messages when I am back. 
Something *will* go wrong because that is the nature of the beast. I must have 
forgotten something somewhere.

Hi,
When I logged in with the same credentials I used/registered in 
greenchilly it again asked me to submit the profile page. Is it expected 
to happen as this is just a DNS change and am still using the same site 
internally?

Secondly, it is usual practice for people to click on the logo to get 
back to the landing page. Can this be incorporated in the site too?

(Sorry for cross posting but we need some visibility here)

Hello everyone,
    Our site is live at http://in.pycon.org/2009/

    The next thing we need to do is to publicise this event. We're
relying on informal channels to get everyone to know about the event.

    Mailing lists, blogs, tweets what not. Please CC me (noufal at gmail)
when you mail any lists that you're on. It would be useful to keep
track of how much outreach we have. Mails and invitations from people
who have cred on some lists would especially be valued. This can't be
a one man thing. The more people who dive into this and do something,
the better the event will be.

    We can keep further discussions of the invitations on the inpycon
list. I cross posted so that more people would be aware that we need
to publicise this.

Thanks

Hi,

          This was posted in Pycon-organizers a while back.
Perhaps this is useful for our twitter organizing ?

Noufal, let me know if I need to follow up on this. Will do so gladly!

We could just decide on one. I don't use twitter so I don't know the

I'm not too clued in on what the bot does or how we can use it. Can
you post some details?

If it can increase visibility and possibly attendance we should go for it.

Thanks Anurag. :)

Ranganath,
   Can you put this on a prominent place on the website? Preferably on
a neat section in the landing page.

Thanks

I have mailed the Linux Users Groups of Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Mysore and 
Hyderabad. Also the Chennai Python Users Group and a few NRC-FOSS specific 
lists and Django users and developers.. If not already done someone needs to 
contact the LUGs in Delhi and Kolkata (make sure all three Kolkata LUGs are 
mailed).

Normally when registration is free, the percentage of attendees is around 
40-50, But looking at the response so far I feel that 90% of them will attend. 
Also it looks like more publicity is needed in colleges. Can we have the 
'Statistics' page turned on so that we can track what is happening and plan 
accordingly?

Isn't it already there? the only thing  I'm against is putting it on
the front for the general public.

This is the statistics page which Kenneth was talking about. Perhaps
you should add it back. People seem to want it. We'll put it somewhere
under a submenu.

Apropos twitter and these new fangled things (I feel old already), A
note on the main page telling people what hashtag we're using would be
enough wouldn't it? People would then have to use it whenever they
post about it. Correct?

Is it something similar for identica?

perhaps we could give admin rights to some one who is familiar with this stuff 
so he/she can look after it?

Yeah that is correct and we can keep it as simple as that.

In case we are thinking of having a separate pyconindia twitter handle. then
we could probably automate it to send updates about the site. we are a
buncha pythoners and there is a nice little library called twitter-python
which interfaces with the twitter API to post tweets.am sure we can comeup
with a mashup.

I'm active on identi.ca, and I'm interested in maintaining it, but what
exactly does maintaining it entail?

We can also create an identi.ca group which people can subscribe to, so
people can get word of other peoples' thoughts on inpycon.

I can create the group (it can operate independently of the pyconindia
already created), shall I go ahead and do it? And what should it be
called? ``inpycon``?

Hi Noufal,

       The main use of the bot for a conference is for sending updates
via twitter. The way it works is as follows.

1. A twitter bot account for the conference is created on twitter.
For our conference it could be "inpycon" for example.
2. An admin befriends the bot.
3. For broadcasting (tweeting) a message, the admin sends a command
to the twitter bot with the message to be tweeted and the bot "tweets" it.
4. Everyone "following" the bot gets the update.
5. We can also publish the update on the website in this case,
the in-pycon website.

These are "push" bots.

The bot will be running on a server, in this case it should ideally run
on the inpycon server.

I have the twitter reflect script written by Stephen Crimm for Pycon
with me. I can take care of installing this on our inpycon server
and administering it.

I just need root ssh access on the inpycon machine. Kenneth,
can u send this info to me directly ?

Thanks

--Anand

 Your idea is fantastic but I cant understand how difficult it is to
go to twitter.com and post the message ? At last we will be posting
max two messages a day ? So for a simple two message why run such a
big setup...

It's probably useful if it can be quickly set up.

I think *real* publicity will be gained by people posting/blogging
about the event.

http://identi.ca/pyconindia/ is just that. Maintaining?...
- it would involve posting regular event updates {aka. denting (or
tweeting in twitter-speak)} about the pycon-india conference,
- it has a FB app, if you/pyconindia is on FB and wants to use a
web-based tool that is.
- it uses the OMB protocol, so if you have a pyconindia twitter
account, they can be sync'd to receive notices by making a single
identica post and pull messages from twitter.
- Laconica2IRC, will allow you to dent directly to #bangpypers on
freenode (provided the irc admins permit it).
For more info, http://laconi.ca/trac/wiki/Apps , should help.

Shyamshankar, thanks for offering to maintain it and unless there is
no opposition from others, i'll handover the account. Folks, is that
ok?

 You got it wrong. A twitter bot is not for publicity. It is for actual
instant
 updates of any conference events/decisions to those interested.

 For example, we can update important dates/any conference website
 updates to subscribers. For example, when we start accepting
 talk proposals, we can tweet it.

 Twitter is popular among web developers and folks who are up2date
  with technology, so this will be very useful.

 I know someone will say RSS feeds, but there is no doubt that
 tweets are much more instantaneous than RSS feeds.

 Let me try it. If it turns out to be too much of a headache, we can always
 drop it.

I'm all for people publicising the event using all channels they can think of.

If you're fine and he's fine, go ahead. :)

I'm just wondering if we should have a pyconindia2009 instead of pyconindia...

I think we should emphasis this in literature and mails since we don't

cool :) i like distributing control into as many hands as possible so

> I'm just wondering if we should have a pyconindia2009 instead of pyconindia...

hmm... does not make much sense to have it year wise -- what if
someone hijacks pyconindia2011/12, etc...  kwim?
