on a plain black or off white collared t shirt. ofcourse i have no clue
about how much it will cost. its ideally the tshirt you would want to wear
to work :)

Hi,

Writing to inform the group that we now have a design team in place (thanks
to SICSR volunteers) who are looking at creating a consistent & appealing
look & feel for conference designs & print.

I should be able to share a couple of early drafts by Sunday.

Considering the designs across print & merchandize would be kind of similar,
it might be best to have this one team responsible for all designs.

The current list of designs (incomplete, additions welcome) todos:

   1. Program Guide & Schedule
   2. Tshirt
   3. Delegate / Speaker / Organizer Badges
   4. Stage Backdrop
   5. Flex Banners marking the halls
   6. Schedule on Flex / Paper
   7. Flex Banners marking the venue. Entry Gate etc.
   8. Direction boards

The poster is an independent thread that was started prior to this team
being formed.

Thanks,
Harshad

Message-ID: <CAHYLgg08mdw5-0n5zaq4PEy5qzsEmKZxm97scesWVEcqdEvMig@mail.gmail.com>

One of the things i really liked about PyCon APAC, was the fact that the
organizers not only planned the conference but also made plans for the
evenings as well. The out of station visitors were taken out for the night
safari on the first night of the conference, and some of the most
interesting conversations happened there. It was a real ice breaker and that
made the second day of the conference that much more warm.

Now i know that this is India and the dynamics are different, but will it be
possible to plan something similar on the night of the first day of
conference??

cheers,
kausik

Arranging for a evening out doing something interesting in cities with
heavy traffic like Pune, Bangalore could be quite daunting. Moreover
anything non-trivial could have high expenses which again if left to
be borne by the individuals could raise cries (elitism etc.) I am not
denying the possibility - merely suggesting that it could be difficult
in light of the two matters above.

More importantly, the city is Pune. There's not much by the way of
group activity available as venues would start shutting down during
normal evening hours.

Caveat - this isn't meant to be overtly critical of Pune but merely
pointing out the lack of adequate places to go to.

A speakers dinner, organisers dinner, tutorial presenters dinner
etc. might be fun. Apart from that, I'm not sure what else we can do.

Message-ID: <CAM6QAw1jhu-R1O6G7ejR-yUm91xEbJVC7qMn7FZVHVZpOtwpag@mail.gmail.com>

Hey Guys,

We have been doing a recording of all the talks, sending them for processing
and then sending individual CDs to people who have opted to purchase it.
This is great. However, there is an alternative approach that might just
works better for us.

SlideShare <http://www.slideshare.net>, the leading community for
presentation and documents sharing has a service called
ZipCast<http://www.slideshare.net/zipcast>.
It is like an online real time meeting, where you can broadcast your talk to
viewers online, while simultaneously doing a presentation. It's free and
does not require any installation. This will allow us to reach to even those
people who could not attend PyCon. It would be really good, if some of you
actually use it and see how effective it is. If it seems to be real useful,
we might actually use it to promote PyCon?

Kindly share your thoughts on this.

Video inside demo is not having good resolution but I guess you can sense

yes it does before that you better read this
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2011-July/004647.html  thread and
understand what all has  happened thus far.

how can one make these slidecasts , what all would you need to cover the the
talks http://in.pycon.org/2011/talks , i think once the schedule is out you
will know how many rooms to be covered etc , now coming to the logistics and
i know there are some points which you will be sensitive about

1)What all is needed to create something like this ?
2)We will be needing volunteers to cover the talks in every hall or you will
install some software in the presenters machine.
3)Be warned that the presenters in this event come with multiple flavors of
 operating systems including windows. will your capture software work on
them to?
4 ) i saw some announcement for open space
http://in.pycon.org/2011/blog/9-launching-into-open-space but this work may
be way OT for your kind of work.


So lets start gathering information on how to and what to answering all the
questions then you can talk to the organizers here .

This list is for dicussing the conference planning rather that things
like presentation tools. At the very least, it's off topic.

I guess, videos of conference can be available for user outside world.
The solution like scribd/slideshare and youtube exist but I have solution
for giving both at synced manner with better banwidth consideration. (Ex
turnoff video part and allowing only audio part).
So I thought I can help in  this manner. I still think that it is not a
off-topic.

Video Recording in Ogg format, Slide must be presented with a tool which
will record timings
Rest a automate script can do things.

A volunteer can install software and he will follow presenter's slides
inorder to generate timing.
Timing can be generated from video itself but it need more muscle power

kpoint is flash based solution , both solutions can co-exist and worked
upon.
slidecasting method has a tool called "Slidecasting Recorder" use wxpython
but which is under development.

I just got an email from Raymond. He's unable to find any direct flights
to Pune which are convenient and the best he can do is Mumbai. 

We need someone to meet him there, to accompany him to Pune and to
arrange accomodation/transport for him while he's there. While more than
one person might do the work, it would be convenient for him to have to
talk to just a single person so that confusion and inconvenience is
minimised. 

Any takers?

Hi,

I've received couple of emails from asking for help in finding
low-budget accommodation. Rs. 500/- per night at max.

The lowest price available on http://in.pycon.org/2011/accomodation is
Rs. 1000/- and that might not work for students.

Can some one suggest some alternatives?

On the same note, will it also be possible to find out if some hotel would
want to tie up as sort of a 'hospitality partner' and hence give away their
services at bulk booking / special rates ?

A day or 2 before the conference. He's not booked yet so I don't have
exact dates. He'd probably leave a day or two after the conference. I
don't think whoever is helping him out would *miss* any part of PyCon
but they might get to Pune a litte earlier and would have to stay back a
day or so extra.

How much time does it take to drive from Pune to Mumbai? If that's
feasible, someone could get there, pick him and drive back no?

Its absolutely feasible - its about 3-4 hrs one way of driving time
depending upon time of travel. Its just that if it aligns with the travel
plans, then saves someone 6-8 hrs (premature optimization :) ) - assuming
the schedule largely lines up - in this case perhaps it may not.

Well then, I think it would be safest to get someone from Pune who is
willing to travel to coordinate this. If he can find someone in Mumbai
who is coming aroung the time Raymond arrives, he can "outsource" the
transport but otherwise, it would be his responsibility to go there and
pick Raymond up.

IMHO wouldn't sending someone to Mumbai to receive a speaker be going too
far.

With due respects & irrespective of the profile of the speaker, the
conference is far bigger than any speaker and all speakers are just as
important for the success of a conference.

Paying too much attention to one foreign speaker kind of devalues the
conference brand, sends the wrong message to other speakers and IMHO is an
'under-developed country' way of doing things.

Having said that, I am not writing this to open an extended discussion on
the point.
I am fine & will support whatever the call is on this.

Thanks,
Harshad

Harshad and others

I would suggest lets go ahead and make these arrangements - he is after all
not only highly respected but also someone who is coming down from a far
further distance to support us and further our benefits. I'll make the
arrangements.

I don't think so. There was a thread discussing funding foreign speakers
before and similar concerns were raised there as well. I think it's
justified for a couple of reasons.

1. He's the only speaker who we've explicity invited.
2. He is the keynote speaker. 
3. He is not from this country (visiting it the first time) and will
   more assistance than other people from India.
4. He's almost surely more knowledgeable and experienced than the
   majority of the other speakers (atleast as far as Python is
   concerned).

I have other feelings about this but they're rather warm and not really
suitable for a public mailing list so I'll leave it at that.

I don't mind volunteering for this (*). I enjoy the Bombay-Pune drive and have 
done it numerous times (I am assuming here that the intent was to do the 
pickup/drop personally as opposed to just arranging a cab -- which also can be 
done -- and I'd suggest that's what we do if either the arrival/departure is 
late night/early morning).

I do see Harshard's point about not paying too much attention to one foreign 
speaker and all of that but tbh as far as wrong messages go there possibly are a 
numerous things, that might give that message which one could worry about ;-).

cheers,

There was *some* discussion about the reimbursement policy for students

If we can decide on the matter and put up a page/blog post, I could send
it to the people who contact me regarding this.

I think the only policy decision was for **student speakers** and it was
finalized and summarized by Dhananjay over an email....

 Not a bad idea, but isn't that too much to handle for a volunteer driven
conference ?

 If we can get some hotel in on this, closer to conference location, it
could
 be very useful indeed.

All,

We get close to Pycon India 2011 (September 16,17,18) and almost into the
last month before the conference.

While a small group of people have been working hard towards the event, like
any other large event, we shall need support from a variety of people to
conduct the event. This is a call for all prospective volunteers to indicate
their availability and interest. This is the first time the conference is
being held in pune, and we look forward to your contribution towards making
it an event to remember. if you can help contribute, kindly let me know by
mail (my address is dhananjay dot nene at gmail dot com)

It would be great if you can drop me a quick mail to the effect :

Name :
Any special skills, interests in the context of an event organisation :
Past Organisation / Volunteering Experience :
Preferred Contact Email and Mobile Number.

Thanks
Dhananjay

Hi,

We have 475+ registrations so far.

Here is split by city:

 269 pune
  84 mumbai
  22 bangalore
  13 delhi
  12 chandigarh
  10 hyderabad
  10 chennai
   7 aurangabad
   5 manipal
   5 goa
   4 indore
   4 gandhinagar
   4 coimbatore
   3 jaipur
   2 vellore
   2 udaipur
   2 trivandrum
   2 reston, va
   2 kolkata
   2 bhimavaram

(ignored the cities with just one attendee, considered while NCR as
delhi and combined mysore and bangalore).

There are more than 200 people coming from outside. Even if you
takeout people from mumbai, it is going to be more than 100 people.

I think it is a good idea to approach couple of hotels and ask for
bulk discounts. Comments?

Hi,

I keep hearing different names for the venue. On the website, it is
mentioned as "Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research,
Pune" and in other places I've seen it as "Symbiosis, Vishwabhavan,
S.B. Road, Pune?. Are both the same?

Can someone please clarify this and let me know if the website needs
to be updated.

Looks fine except the Aug 30 deadline which gives them around 15
days from today. If we get requests, we could consider extending it by
1 more week I guess.

Message-ID: <CAC7wXFyxeLGP1GAewpnN65AJWFc+HqqaL9Kb2oXxLP2780oO8A@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

GS Lab, one of our silver sponsors, is taking care of video recording this year.

GS Lab will:

* provide 2 people with laptops and video cameras to record the
talks/tutorials in 2 rooms (on Sept 16, 17 and 18)
* record the video of the talk and also the screen of the laptop for
capturing slides/demo
* provide 1 person to verify that the screen can be captured from the
speakers laptop
* host the processed videos in k-point format at pyconindia2011.kpoint.in
* provide us the raw videos in suitable format so that they can be
uploaded to other video hosting websites

PyConIndia will:

* provide space for recording the videos in each room
* provide a table for verifying the speaker laptops for screen capture
* add link to kpoint website from each talk page

I'm going to work with GS Lab on the technical details of screen capturing etc.

Anand

Full clarification:

PyCon venue is: Symbiosis Vishwabhavan on S.B. Road. (Landmark: this is the
building with a statue of R.K. Laxman's common man in front). Also, there
are many different Symbiosis campuses all over Pune, so we should definitely
make it a point to tell delegates that it is important to remember
"Vishwabhavan" and "S.B. Road" otherwise they could end up at the wrong end
of town.

Actually, Symbiosis Law College, which the building adjacent to Symbiosis
Vishwabhavan is also hosting some of the tracks - but there is no need to
mention that right now and confuse people. Vishwabhavan is the more well
known of the two, so we can stick to that.

SICSR (Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research) is wrong. It is
not the same institute. It is not near Vishwabhavan. It definitely needs to
be removed from the website.

While a map might help, I strongly suggest adding text also to indicate that
Pune has many Symbiosis campuses and PyCon is in the one called Vishwabhavan
on SB Road. I've been in far too many events where delegates call me up at
event start time from the wrong Symbiosis.

+1. A map is no more useful than a general locator. The actual name of
the venue (preferably the same text that is there on a signboard at the
venue) should be there on the site.

I suggest we keep all talks/tuts in the same venue so that we
avoid making it difficult for people who are attending different
talks, one in one building and the next in a faraway one.

If possible, all rooms in the same building itself - that is the
best possible configuration.

It is 20 bangalore + 2 mysore.

Failing that, a prominent map (printed out on A4 paper) at multiple
places in the venue with directions to the halls.

So much for it being an all India thing. I can relate to that
though. The farther away the conference is from me, the more my inertia
to attending it. I doubt if I would travel to anyone outside Bangalore
for an event other than PyCon.

 I was thinking a more practical 50+ at this stage.

I wonder if we have the numbers from last year. Did they show
similar trends as well ?

Hopefully the blr numbers will go up as the date approaches.

+1.

Just wondering if it would be too expensive to provide a LED
display of the current talk+speaker outside every hall .

Can any sponsor handle this ? It would be cool...

1. No, having all rooms in the same building is not possible
2. We do plan on having a prominent map and directions to halls in multiple
places at the venue
3. We were aware of this issue when looking at the venues, and decided to go
ahead with this venue in spite of the problem of halls divided across
multiple buildings - because of the other benefits that this venue afforded.

Fair enough. Last year, we *seriously* underestimated this problem so
please prioritise the maps and directions. 

It would also probably be a good idea for the kick off speech to let
everyone know where the various rooms are.

 Since the time between talks is in the range of a few minutes (5 at best),
 we can't expect people to be very efficient in looking up maps.

 We need to have incremental directions at every place to guide folks
plus a "You are here" kind of map in front of every hall which details
the position of this hall in relation to every other hall. Plus volunteers
to help.

Last year we had a lot of issues with people trying to find the
2nd building from the main building since we didn't do some of these
basic things. I am hoping it will be better this year cuz of the rather
longer gap between talks but it is better to prepare well.

I was able to talk to Hotel Shreyas and they were prepared to offer a
15% discount for 10-12 rooms on their rack rate
(http://www.hotelshreyas.in/tariff.htm).

Its going to be an interesting challenge - since most large hotels in
pune are on the peripheries (and in fact a lot of them are the
Mariott, Westin kind, so quite pricey). While there are lots of hotels
in the area near the venue, most of them are rather small in size (<
50 rooms). So these hotels anyways have a good occupancy and even if
one wanted to do a bulk deal, the number of rooms they can rent out is
rather small. There's one really huge Mariott just 5 mins walks away
from the venue, but I doubt if many (or for that matter any :) ) are
interested in the same.

I would suggest people do go ahead with making reservations. Even if
you call up another hotel from the list, I suspect 10-15% discount
might be had by just negotiating a bit (though that could vary from
hotel to hotel).

While we're on the subject, can you (Anand), put a prominent link to the

now, it's a hidden page.

Yes. Not (just) a map, but prominent signposts /to the various destinations/ so someone immediately knows which way to start walking.

It might also be a good idea (though not a very green one) to put a
small map of the venue and all the rooms in the swag kit. We have to
include a brochure anyway.

This really annoyed a lot of people last year. We can't be too cautious
about it this time.

Not so much annoyed but confused on the first day as nobody could tell
where exactly the room or building was. Probably missed an interesting
talk or two.

Folks,
Any updates on cost effective accomodations around the venue ? I think it
would be good if the organisers can arrange accomodations on-campus ie.
Hostel Rooms in Symbiosis itself. That would be a better option for people
who want to conduct coding sprints till late night.
Please update accomodations as the conf is drawing near.

Any reason why we removed the live twitter feed box from the
conf site ?

This helps only to remove the buzz and IMHO is not helping
the conference.

Please re-enable it.

I went back thinking it could've been my mistake while editing the
page for adding accomodations link yesterday. Unfortunately, it seems
(and I don't quite know for sure) it was commented out in a change on
Aug 16th. Not sure why. So I did not re-enable it assuming it was
commented out for a reason.

It can't be your mistake cuz the content is actively commented out
by someone.

Assuming this was done in error, I have re-enabled it.

Thanks

I commented it as it wasn't working when I looked at it.

Now I realized that it is not working in Chrome. I'll have a look at it.
