This is the second pycon. Theming the event can add extra complexity IMHO.It
should be done once pycon gain 4-5 years

+1. It will be great. We need some volunteers who can organize the event and
a bit of promotion.

Depends. I guess this is upon senior members to decide.

Yeah, sure. Sprints/Hackday should be there like pycon us or foss.in.

Just my 2 cents. :)
