[...] I'll do that. They are giving 5 free 3 OS licenses for raffle draws. We'll announce this on the blog. And they're giving a discount code which attendees can use when they buy licenses from wingware. These are one OS licenses which are the most popular type. I will blog about both of these later tonight. -- From kunalkantsen at gmail.com Wed Sep 1 13:45:40 2010 From: kunalkantsen at gmail.com (kunalkant sen) Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2010 17:15:40 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] Mobile Apps as prize to participants Message-ID: Dear Friends, How about giving mobile application (paid one) as prize.

Below is my explanation. -1. 1) how does a mobile app relate to python. if we are taking about doing some non python related philanthropic work then +1 for that and distributing mobile apps hardly sounds philanthropic to me. 2) more than downloading and paying the fundamental problem is the existence of a magnitude of mobile platforms and great disparity amongst them. this is the problem that plagues the entire industry for which solutions have hardly been created(okay there are solutions coming up, but thats not the context of the discussion). giving away mobile apps in wholesale will hardly solve this problem. -- Kausikram Krishnasayee Company: http://silverstripesoftware.com | Webpage: kausikram.in | Blog: blog.kausikram.in | Twitter: http://twitter.com/kausikram | Email: kausikram at gmail.com | Mobile: +91 9884246490 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

These are "confirmed". I think around 15 of them were after the early bird dates. There are 674 "incomplete" registrations. This is a mix of test tickets, mistakes and people who planned to pay offline but haven't paid yet. I think we'll have a strength of around 500-550 people at the conference.

No. Initially, we didn't have netbanking. At this time, if you were paying offline, it was necessary to send us some kind of proof of payment so that we could mark the ticket as "paid". However, we've entered the 21st century now so if you just give us the ticket/order number and payment details, we can check online and confirm your ticket.

[...] I personally thought that it's kind of high. 250INR for registration and around 600 for the videos felt quite disproportionate to me.

We are not spending anything but there it is "our thing" if we allow something to be sold at the conference. -- From noufal at gmail.com Mon Sep 6 09:57:06 2010 From: noufal at gmail.com (Noufal Ibrahim) Date: Mon, 06 Sep 2010 13:27:06 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] Content distribution In-Reply-To: (Sreekanth S.

His tickets are confirmed and he's got his Visa. We need to book a hotel room for him. I'm not sure there are many of us near the venue so booking something on that side of the city seems pointless since he'll just have to sit there during the days when the conference is not taking place. I was thinking something more easterly like Indira Nagar or maybe Koramangala. One of us coming from that side of town (I myself will be and I know that Anand P. is near Whitefield) can pick him up and drop him back during the days of the conference and we can fix something else up for him during his free days. He did express a desire to see the place a little and do some shopping. Any suggestions on good hotels? I think we can spend maybe 3k per day for the room? Is that okay? Any other issues?

It's pretty much within our budget but the only place where they have a room available for the entire duration is at their Hotel in Koramangala. That's quite out of the way. It's "doable" but if there was something else a little more to the North, it would be nice. The Shilton apartments at Ulsoor and at Indira Nagar are unavailable on the dates we need them.

These are "confirmed". I think around 15 of them were after the early bird dates. There are 674 "incomplete" registrations. This is a mix of test tickets, mistakes and people who planned to pay offline but haven't paid yet. I think we'll have a strength of around 500-550 people at the conference.

I contacted the Rubyconf people and they recommended a hospitality company called Aranha homes. I visited their rooms and found them quite nice. They have a bunch of rooms in Domlur 2nd stage but were booked for the dated we wanted them at. They have another facility at Ulsoor just at the Gurudwara junction opposite the lake. I checked it out and found it quite nice. It's quiet, the facilities were decent and the price reasonable. I've booked it for David's stay in Bangalore. He should be leaving anytime now and will be here on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.

Anand spent a lot of time on scheduling the talks properly. The overlap was unavoidable since we are fully packed.

We have like 20 30 min talks and around 35 45 min talks so it is unavoidable that a few 45 min talks overlap with the 30 min talks in another hall. You can do the math. In fact this is a bit of an advantage if you ask me since you could always slide out of a 45 min talk if you didn't like it and go over to a 30 min talk which could be just starting. > -- > regards > Kenneth Gonsalves > > _______________________________________________ > Inpycon mailing list > Inpycon at python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/inpycon > -- --Anand -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I think we need to take the whole business of talk classification more seriously next time. While we collected the information, I'm not sure if we used it while scheduling. The tracks need to be more "subject oriented". However, this is done and I don't think we have the bandwidth to change the schedules. Also, it's already been publicly announced so it's best to keep it as is without any change.

Prohibitory orders under Section 144 will be in effect on Saturday which will cripple us. Whatever we do, it's going to have some negative effects, people's travel plans will get messed up, people might miss their talks, etc. We need a plan that will minimise impact. I propose that we shorten the event to a one day conference. Sunday only. We can set up the equipment on the eve of th 25th and have a one day conference starting at 9:00am and going upto 6:00pm or so. I am going to the college tomorrow along with Sree to talk to the principal. If we can get two or three halls more, we can fill in the talks and accomodate everyone. It will be tighter and some people will miss talks they wanted but it's the only option I can see. Please let me know what you feel/think about this. I plan to put this up on a Blog post and tweet/notify about this tomorrow morning.

If we do have problems on 24th, then 25th will be a washout too, as people would probably not want to venture out. So I would say - status quo - unless we have more information like confirmation from Police Commissioner that movements will be restricted.

If the college is ready, then we wait and take a call by 3 PM. 2) The state government is prepared either way, and I heard they have beefed up the resources already. 3) Let's hope that tomorrow supreme court will take a call on the petitions to defer the verdict after CWG, which's filed by some senior citizens. While Renuka's suggestion of a night conference is novel, it wont be practical if there's trouble. If there's trouble first thing which Bangalore police commissioner will call for will be Curfew.

We are peaceful crowd, and there should not be any issues. It all depends on the college. My gut feeling is that the verdict itself will be deferred, considering CWG. There are number of pleas in at different courts to defer the verdict till the games get over. Though one such appeal was rejected today, there are 2 more appeals for hearing for defering the verdict.

We shouldn't take any drastic step like deciding to cut down the conference by a day right now.

This is the typical cautionary steps police take when they expect events like this to unfold. However, having a conference inside a college is not exactly like people gathering in a market etc, so as long as the college authorities are OK, we should go ahead and continue as if nothing changed. But it might be good if we find out about transport situation on the day. Talking to the police authorities on this will help. I would think that BMTC will continue to ply its buses, but auto traffic might get affected. > > _______________________________________________ > Inpycon mailing list > Inpycon at python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/inpycon > > -- --Anand -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Since there are no sprints planned this year, I suggested having a sprint-bof (birds of feather session) to enable us to bring like-minded folks interested in contributing to any python *floss* projects of their choice --catchup with existing contributors and figure out how and what we can do to increase their number(S). Baijum suggested we keep the sprint-bof on Saturday at 1730 hrs and if there are no rooms available, we can use the corridor, or any other open space that is available. The bof is intended to measure interest levels and plan for the future so all are welcome.

More work for Anand C & Abhishek :) Of course this need not get ready by tomorrow since we will be getting in touch with the delegates after the conf through email with the form link. However earlier the better so that they recall the experiences correctly. As last time, we need desk volunteers to take down details of all delegates including email address.

So time to reminisce. I have (mentally) jotted down a few things I thought should improve regarding talks next year. Before I lose track of them and we all lapse into lethargy (till June 2011 :-), let me document it here. 1. Call for CFP at least 3 months earlier. Pycon US does it 3 months in advance (Nov 2010 for March 2011 Pycon). So in our case we should schedule this in early May for a Sep conf. That gives us enough time to scrutinize the talks and do a more thorough review. 2. Have multi-tiered review process: Last year we had almost no review, this year we had a 4 member group review. I am suggesting 2 tiered reviews next year on where we first have a screening round where we actually drop talks before even rating them (not based on consensus, but perhaps base on vote) followed by the second round where we rate the remaining talks. 3. Number of talks - I took in quite a bit more than I could chew this year, since well, I wanted to have as many talks as we could pack in. I see that it is not a very good strategy and we should prefer quality over quantity from 2011. I am thinking like 6-7 45 min talks with 5 minute interval between each talk. So if we have 3 halls, we can have up to 36 talks for 2 days - good enough and more if we select the talks well. 4. Interval between talks - We need buffer between talks which we kind of learned the hard way in the last two days :) (A big thanks to the talk co-ords Vijay, Ramki and Kunal). 5 minutes of buffer seem fine and we should plan to wrap up by 5pm to leave remaining 1-2 hours of sunlight for impromptu stuff. 5. Lightning talks track - We need to prioritize lightning talks and perhaps have a hall dedicated for lightning talks and sprints that could follow from it. So if people feel bored or want to have a change there is always this hall available. 6. Tutorial tracks - Maybe have a lab or class-room for a dedicated tutorial track where people could sign up for tutorials on anything ranging from 1-2 hours. 7. Phone numbers - Finally this is a small thing which we missed in the CFP form, but came back to bite us in a big way when a few speakers went absconding. We had no way to contact them immediately and well, we somehow managed things with impromptu discussions. So next year onwards, CFP forms should have cell numbers for us to reach the speakers in case of emergencies. Suggestions, brick-bats etc etc welcome.

Many of them are deputed by their companies to speak (usually to blow the company's trumpet). Take for example the talk on openstreetmap. The person who was supposed to speak is unheard of in OSM circles, and was probably deputed by mapquest to talk. He did not turn up - disappointing quite a few people. I would have submitted a similar talk but did not because I did not want to duplicate the effort. I noticed some company deputed speakers who turned up in time for their talk, spoke and left immedietally. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves From kausikram at gmail.com Tue Sep 28 09:23:08 2010 From: kausikram at gmail.com (kausikram krishnasayee) Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 12:53:08 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] thanks In-Reply-To: <87y6amqr5i.fsf@gmail.com> References: <1285657398.2192.71.camel@localhost> <87y6amqr5i.fsf@gmail.com> Message-ID: > > See you guys in > > Chennai 2011 for an experience you will never forget! > +1 > +1 -- Kausikram Krishnasayee Company: http://silverstripesoftware.com | Webpage: kausikram.in | Blog: blog.kausikram.in | Twitter: http://twitter.com/kausikram | Email: kausikram at gmail.com | Mobile: +91 9884246490 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The only obvious way is to sit at your venue and wait for the turn. And then the event in-charge announces your name and you go down there.

In a 30-min talk, being constantly interrupted meant the speaker didnt finish their demo or could not cover the slides, etc.. This results in other audience members losing out on what the speaker would have explained or demo'ed. Not nice. Usually, most speakers allot the last five (or more) minutes for the Q&A session so the speaker should not be interrupted during his/her talk. Next year, all speakers should be asked to allot the last few minutes for Q&A session and also mention this at the beginning of their talk (maybe in the slides they prepared for the talk). Despite this, occasional gaffes may occur inadvertently, in which case, the hall marshalls should politely ask the audience member to wait for the question and answer session. -- Regards, Vid || http://svaksha.com From vid at svaksha.com Tue Sep 28 12:19:46 2010 From: vid at svaksha.com (=?UTF-8?B?IOCkuOCljeCkteCkleCljeCktyA=?=) Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 15:49:46 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] thanks In-Reply-To: <1285657398.2192.71.camel@localhost> References: <1285657398.2192.71.camel@localhost> Message-ID: On Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 12:33, Kenneth Gonsalves wrote: > on behalf of the Indian Python Software Society I wish to thank all > those who participated in inpycon2010 and made it a huge success. +1 -- Regards, Vid || http://svaksha.com From vid at svaksha.com Tue Sep 28 12:25:44 2010 From: vid at svaksha.com (=?UTF-8?B?IOCkuOCljeCkteCkleCljeCktyA=?=) Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 15:55:44 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] Some thoughts on talks In-Reply-To: References: <171321.46532.qm@web95308.mail.in2.yahoo.com> <1285650530.2192.39.camel@localhost> Message-ID: On Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 10:46, Sreekanth S Rameshaiah wrote: > > Also , Will be good to mix the traditional conference model and unconference > methods.

It's also a speaker skill to identify hecklers and to tell them that q/a will be at the end if time permits rather than actually taking the time to answer them but your point is valid. -- From thatiparthysreenivas at gmail.com Tue Sep 28 12:48:25 2010 From: thatiparthysreenivas at gmail.com (Sreenivas Reddy T) Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 16:18:25 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] thanks In-Reply-To: <1285662489.2192.83.camel@localhost> References: <1285657398.2192.71.camel@localhost> <87y6amqr5i.fsf@gmail.com> <1285662489.2192.83.camel@localhost> Message-ID: > > actually the food had too much salt on the second day > well, i found kannda ppl doesn't use much salt and chilli powder. :) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

At pycon, there were > separate rooms devoted to "open space sessions". They won't *really* work with a 2 day conference. Even at the PyCon in the US, people needed a few days to get to know people and "get into the mood" before they were okay with doing open spaces. Lightning talks will work. Coding sessions/sprints and Open Spaces need more time. Perhaps 1 day of tutorials, 2 days of conference and 1 day of open sessions/sprints. I'm not sure what the participation will be with the alts one. We had a slot for that last year and it was empty. -- From abpillai at gmail.com Tue Sep 28 13:29:49 2010 From: abpillai at gmail.com (Anand Balachandran Pillai) Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 16:59:49 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] thanks In-Reply-To: References: <1285657398.2192.71.camel@localhost> Message-ID: On Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 4:40 PM, Noufal Ibrahim wrote: > On Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 4:25 PM, Sreenivas Reddy T > wrote: > [..] > > My gripe is, ''Some copied code snippets from the websites(for > e.g:mongoDB > > website if the talk is on mongodb),a few went on to claim that they wrote > > them'. > > I heard this from other people as well.

I rate some of the talks we had this time (ZIO, Wii, Celery, Twisted to name a few) exceptional but then we also had too many below average talks I think which kind of pulled down the total average quality of talks. Also the absconders didn't help either. Last year we had a number of good and above average talks and no absconders.

I had plans of sharing/presenting some of the HDL code *I* wrote, which would have been interesting, but didn't. Maybe the hardware talk would have been better suited to a *lightning* session where most of the audience would know about what was being presented.

In light of the discussion that has been on this and a few other threads here are a few views which I simply cannot refrain myself from putting forward. 1. Applying for a talk, getting selected and not delivering the talk is the wrong thing to do. However, addressing this issue is something the administrators must do amongst themselves rather than on a public ML. 2. Constructive criticism helps. However, mentioning that a particular talk was'nt upto the mark(yes, this did happen recently. I would'nt dare mention the name of the person or the talk which was being criticized) in an un-related thread is abusive. Please do not make the speakers feel sorry for their attempt to contribute by giving a talk. If you feel that there needs to be a discussion regarding this, then the administrators should discuss this amongst themselves, organize a poll(maybe?) and send the speaker reviews. If you think that "This is a community conference and that there are no 'officials'" is an argument against what I just said, then you are simply missing the point I am trying to put across. :) 3. A person who gives a talk must be given the luxury of leaving the venue at a time of his choice. Its completely upto him. While organizers/attendees might individually feel that this is not a good practice, this is certainly not something that should be discussed(might I venture out to use the word "gossiped", because that is what this is starting to look like) on a public Mailing List. Pycon-India 2010 was great. Let us all try and have good memories when the hashtag #pyconindia comes to our mind. Great work organizers, Nice job speakers and Hope all the attendees had fun.

I didn't attend your talk but I met you later and I believe you. His point however stands. There are lots of people who try to piggy back on conferences and to avoid sponsoring it, send a few people to try to scout for talent and blow the company's trumpet. Talks by such people in the main slots should be watched out for. -- From steve at lonetwin.net Tue Sep 28 16:37:27 2010 From: steve at lonetwin.net (steve) Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 20:07:27 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] thanks In-Reply-To: References: <1285657398.2192.71.camel@localhost> Message-ID: <4CA1FDA7.2010407@lonetwin.net> Hi, On 09/28/2010 05:15 PM, Anand Balachandran Pillai wrote: > [...snip...] > > Looks like you missed the zio and wii talks.

It is public knowledge if someone gets selected and doesn't show up without notifying the organisers. A lot of people were really hurt by this. I personally had some conversations where people voiced their grievance about how much they prepared for the talk and how pissed they were. I'm more sympathetic to them rather than to the chap who didn't show up. I don't know if I saw an apology later either which is definitely uncool. I do see your point though. > 2.

It's not possible to filter out all criticisms which are offensive. I wouldn't personally do it and I don't usually team up with people who do but if someone delivers a talk without any preparation and without a clue about what she's going to talk about, she'd better be prepared to get receive some amount of flak. This is 2010 and all of us are on the net. We can moderate the list but there's twitter, there's blogs etc. It's not the job of the organisers to help speakers become better. That's their job. The organisers are worried about the conference and their work stops there. Private discussions will be there for that. This is a public list and if anyone abuses someone else, it'll be archived for all to see. > 3. A person who gives a talk must be given the luxury of leaving the > venue at a time of his choice.

Sure. What's the problem with this? Not just a speaker. Anyone can come and go as they please. I must have missed the gossip you talked about. > Pycon-India 2010 was great.

Not every speaker may recognize (if) they are being trolled and here a polite hall marshal, armed with a spare mike to get their point across firmly, goes a long way in quelling disruptions.

I am not holding my breath for it either. If someone is as unprofessional as to submit a talk proposal and having received a number of communication emails regarding its approval, upload of slides etc etc and fails to turn up without informing the coordinator(s) - well that is where I draw the line and expect no more from him. But these people have paid a small price for their action as their odds for getting selected for a future Pycon talk anywhere now stand at 0.0. -- --Anand -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
