consider RVCE if you people wont value the philosophy and consider only
about conducting a tech event, i cant support such things

 it looks to me that there are too many night birds and does not want to get
up early on one Saturday for FOSS ( python in this case ) and anyways Sunday
is  cool..

i dont want to comment on traffic and other things --thats not in our hands
,

atleast by next year METRO will be ready ,
then there would be complaints about cost rather than traffic

since baiju  approached us long back i assumed that there would be some
consensus and was very happy that we could host , but then there were good
signs that other colleges also were willing to host the event

since we are planning to run python course this semester in our college for
one of the BE branches,  there is a 6 day X 6 hour workshop ,that would also
make python more popular and bring some satisfaction to us to host the
workshop,  taking up pycon2010 would have been a great impact , but even
otherwise  those who value would attend the conference wherever it is held.

please go ahead with MSRIT , no doubts there is very good infrastructure,
take care about all the other requirements like catering , generator , UPS
etc etc .. let me know if any more help required from faculty side , i have
some contacts whom i am also in touch since this discussion is going on and
they are also waiting for some calls to help

I am still inclined to go with MSRIT. Traffic woes are very real in

if those who are really bothered about the traffic why none of you gave a
thought about the venue i suggested which is not even one kilo meter from
bus station and railway station.

what required at the beginning was a hall with a 300 -400 capacity and 2 or
3 seminar halls and AC was not a criteria at all. if that was the case there
is such facility with much more advantages like zero expenses on local
travel , central to the city

we should have some solid minds,

well thanks for thinking about RVCE, any time we are there for FOSS, plese
go ahead with MSRIT as venue for pycon2010

i will motivate all those who will undergo training on python will register
for the conference, in that case atleast 100 registrations will be there.
