> 3. Create a CFP request form on the pycon india 2011
> site - you can reuse last year's template but since you

> 4. Once everything is finalized and tested, call for CFP -
> Announce in the site blog, twitter, Pycon blog (me or Senthil
> can do this), any other outlet etc.

#3 is almost ready.

I waiting for a decision on #2.

> I would estimate that 3-4 people need to work on this, two
> working on the CFP format and 1-2 working on the site itself.
> I can help out with any of the small sub-tasks such as reviewing
> the proposal, testing the CFP etc.

Like last year, I can take care of the website and help in selecting the talks.

>> My suggestion is to start work on this right now to publish the CFP
> no later than May 1st week. Give the CFP 2 months to end on
> July last week or Aug 1st week, so that reviewers get at least one
> month to do the reviews.
