[Inpycon] Post Conference analysis about the performance and future plan

[Ramdas S]

By all means I feel no one in the group has anything against the idea of
having another Python conference anywhere in the country, anytime soon or
later. However remember, its upto individuals to actually find time to
volunteer for such efforts.

I believe Pycon India has been successful because of selfless efforts of
some individuals such as Noufal, Senthil, Kenneth, Anands  among others.

If a particular event has to be planned and implemented successfully in a
particular city or region, its important that we have local champions
running around to support it.

Why don't you discuss with organizers of Freed.in, see their interest
levels, and moot a proposal on a separate thread, and then check interest
from other Pythonistas.
