[Inpycon] directions for the new society/trust/?

[Anand Chitipothu]

No.

We don't have to formalize this now. New ideas will come out once the
machine starts functioning.

> 3)      More specifically, what are the other activities a society can get
> involved, other than organizing Pycon?

There could be many. Some that came to my mind:

* Help Prabhu Ramachandran's group in promoting SciPy
* Offer Python Trainings in various colleges
* Help creation of more Python user groups
* Connect students trying to do projects in Python with mentors
* Do a study to find the blocks in adopting Python in corporate environments

> 4)      What should be the legal relationship with PSF? Should we have only
> an informal relationship or a legal relationship (like a chapter of PSF)?

Legal means more responsibilities and bookkeeping. I think having
blessings of PSF is good enough.

> 5)       Should this be a society or a trust?

Society.

> 6)      What all can the new society do to encourage Python based
> development in the country?

Same as question 3.
