last time i didn't get  a medium size  tee-shirt.I heard similar stories

I think we should order more medium size than earlier.
Any thoughts on this?

We had enough quantity but people ask for large and then take a medium
when they come. Two things. 

 - We should get stricter about this and give only the size they've
   requested. 
 - There's always the possibility of a shortage and so the person who
   comes only on the second day will run the risk of not getting the
   size she wants.

I am seeing the talks title menu skewed from the talks presented below,
because the menu has less items than the items presented.

Sample:

# Talk title Submitted by Status Slides Uploaded  1 PInax - web 3.0 (develop
a social networking website within 30 min)<http://in.pycon.org/2011/talks/36>
talk
Vikash ruhil Under review No
Please add menu item "Talk Type" in order to fix this.

We have 9 more days to go for CFP closure and I am not
very happy with the number and diversity of talks we have
got so far.

Can we agree to run a twitter campaign of " 'n' more days
to go, are you not talking in Pycon India 2011 ?' kind of
twitter campaign ?

For example, today it would be 'Only 9 more days to go,
Are you not talking in Pycon India 2011 ?' like that..

Thoughts ?

I agree. Anything to get more publicity. Anyone here on facebook,

Sure .. though a countdown could perhaps end up leading to giving an
impression (completely independent of any facts on the ground) that we are
facing a dearth of talk proposals.

I would imagine if we can attempt to tweet at least one reference to
#PyconIndia and the talk proposals a day, that might be a little better. Of
course adding to FB / Google+ as relevant would also be helpful.

Frankly, I don't care much about impressions right now.
I would rather have 50 talks to pick from on 23:59 hrs on
July 10, rather than worrying about how I do it.

He was asking me if we provide financial assistance for people who come
in from outside the state. 

We haven't done this so far but if his talk passes the screening and is
selected, will our budget have something to accomodate him?

This is a bit of a hornets nest but if we restrict it purely to people
who's talks have been accepted, it might work out. 

Thoughts/Suggestions?

I think we should have enough creativity to come up with
something different.

We have last years submissions which we can still reuse.

I kind of like

Do we have any sponsor compulsions this year

Not that I'm aware of. 

I'm fine with (and prefer) a new design but someone will have to take
the lead for selecting a logo etc. and giving it to Sree. If no one
stands up to take the responsibility, we'll default to last years.

 What does this "giving" involve ? For example, if we assume
 we decide to use one of the competing designs of last year,
 doesn't it simply involve pointing him to this URL ?

I see no issues in providing 2nd class Sleeper or if possible AC fare for
student speakers or academicians, and if there's excess funds you can offer
the  same to all speakers.

This is a pure budget call-- if we have funds only...

Also from an operation point of view, if anything it has to be reimbursed on
showing the ticket receipts after he/she delivers the talk. No advance
payments

Accadamicians are well paid professionals

Nope. The text (mainly the year) will have to be changed and a pair of
PDFs (or other format) files one for the front and the other for the
back to be made and possibly altered based on feedback. It doesn't sound
like a lot of work but someone still has to "do what's necessary".

I can do this. I dont have time to design anything new but
can we agree on and pick up one of the competing designs
of last year ? I will work it out in a format that Sri can consume.

Since not many seem to be interested in this, a bare minimum
of consensus is fine with me.

Fair enough. I vote for a plain T-shirt (white) with just

on the chest. It would probably look better if the shirt was with a
collar.

That one looks a bit strange with 2 long snakes - Do you have
any problem with

I also think replacing the 2010 with 2011 on this would be easier ?

This requires some thought. Some issues that come to my mind. 

1. What are we willing to reimburse (travel, stay etc.)
2. Reimbursement or advance payment?
3. To whom (student speakers only - proof of being a student)
4. Do people have to "apply"? (like with the PyCon in the US).
5. How much money do we want to keep aside for this. 
6. Finally, assuming we do, someone should take charge of speaking with
   the people who are granted aid and keep the records straight.

Both

Reimbursement after the talk

Students speakers only . Has to submit a certificate/letter from institution

I think this is needed so that we will get an idea about total amount of
money required

Even we can find some small companies/ start-ups fro sponsering travel
grant. Even individuals who is interested to do so

You won't get the shading, the shadow or the texture nicely on a
T-shirt (unless you sell a pair of kidneys to pay for it). I'd recommend
a design with solid colours (no textures, shading etc.) and not much
detail. 

As for the 2010 -> 2011 in the 2 snakes logo,  I know the guy who made
that one and can get him to spice it up a little.

It really depends from the place is boarding the train. My gut feel is that
5 students at the maximum would have their talks qualified. We can provide
the actual rail fare costs & stay at a stipend of Rs 750 per day for 3 days
of the event. This should top at the max Rs 25,000 for 5 students.

Just wanted to let people know: I am aware of at least 4 proposals in
non-standard areas (python in bioinformatics, bio-tech, mathematics) that
are being readied to be submitted later in the week...

Message-ID: <CAC7wXFx_rDh+tetGMJna5ENGybXnZUMqEtp=GmrXSQS25bdKhA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

We need a volunteer to manage the offline payments.

People can register for the conference and decide to pay the money
offline by transferring the amount to IPSS bank account. Once they
transfer the money, they intimate us about that by sending an email to
contact at in.pycon.org.

The task of the volunteer is to look at these mails, check with
Kenneth about the bank transaction if necessary and update payment
status on doattend website.

Anybody interested?

I don't remember who did this last year, but he did a very job.

With reference to mail below, please let me know what our policy on speaker
compensation is. I think we should have a page on the site that we can point
to in response to such a query.

Thanks,

Hey
I am a student and lives in Chandigarh which is far away from the
Pune. I have also registered a talk named as "Hungry Snake - My First
Game Using Pygame API" . My pygame articles also got published in the
May and July edition of the Linux For You. I really want to attend
this pycon.
I am a student and I can't afford the expanse for my whole trip. Can
you provide me any compensation in any manner??? I have read somewhere
that pycon's provide the travelling allowance to the needy one or so.
So plz help me. I don't want to miss this opportunity at any cost.
Waiting for your reply

Thanks

I guess we will have several cases like this. I am all for helping people
who really want to attend.

But this could also trigger hundred such applications, and with all respect
and concern for the genuinely interested students, you have no way of
verifying the ingenuity of these applications, and we need a volunteer to
check and verify, and approve. In addition there could also be some
applications where a student may be looking for a free joy ride or excursion
to Pune. How do you decide?

There's a thread discussing this and the general consensus is that student
speakers whose talk is selected will get sponsored. The exact sponsorship ie
travel and lodging charges is not arrived yet.

 I agree we need to be careful in vetting applications, but that shouldn't
prevent us
 from creating a limited fund pool from which to sponsor 'n' number of
students
 their travel and stay expenses (minus food) considering it falls within a
certain
 pre-determined amount (could vary per city, but with an upper ceiling).

 It might be a bit too late right now to come up with an official policy for
 this Pycon, however, I would still suggest we go ahead and fund a limited
 number of students and put the larger question of formalizing this
 to a later stage. Still we can continue to have discussions meanwhile.

Message-ID: <CAC7wXFzwgFCkCzz6Gjgc=41JBAveL8CX+TTL4OXbum4V7U3Tsg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I have been talking with GS Labs, Pune about sponsoring PyCon India
and they have agreed to become a silver sponsor with a condition that
they want to record the videos and publish then on their video
platform. Which shouldn't be a problem for us.

They'll send 2 people to the conference to record the video and
publish the videos on their platform. They are open to share the raw
video in any format so that we can upload it to Vimeo/YouTube.  I
looked their video recordings and the quality looked good.

So we are getting a silver sponsorship + free video recording!

Is there anything that I need to do before giving a confirmation?

Here is the original mail from them for your reference.

---

Can we record
all the presentations in kPoint (in addition
to whatever recording/broadcasting mechanism
you might use)? This would benefit PyCon
as well since you could share the presentations
in a richer format. All of them will be
made available online free, immediately
after the event.

For ex

http://live.kpoint.in/kapsule/gcc-c71ffb1c-a39f-4d42-a0ec-c4f6fd9e007f

(a presentation we captured for Innovations 2011
earlier this year). More of them at

 http://www.innovations-pune.com/2011


 Would this be OK with you?

 If so, we'd like to go for Silver sponsorship.

Very nice.

If anyone is interested in finding out more about the what and why of their
video platform - they will be using their kPoint product (http://kpoint.in)
for this.

A few things to think about:
1. Are they aware that there will be parallel tracks - so people and
equipment need to be sized accordingly.
2. For best results, the presentation (the slides) need to be running on a
laptop with kpoint installed on it. And this is a windows-only platform at
this point. We can keep kpoint enabled laptops at each hall, so that
shouldn't be a problem except for speakers who want to use their own laptop
for their presentation. In that case, you'll get just a simple video
recording without the slides - which would be a shame, because slides+video
is what makes kpoint useful/interesting.
3. Are they recording the tutorials? Would the tutorial presenters be OK
with this?



> Is there anything that I need to do before giving a confirmation?

I don't think any of the above are showstoppers for confirmations, so I'm a
+1.

I told them that there will be 2 parallel tracks and they are ready to
send 2 people with required equipment.

I just called them and confirmed. They just need a copy of slides in
PPT or PDF format. The speakers can use their own laptops to do the
presentation.

Yes, they are ready to record. The CFP page says it clearly that all
the presentations will be recorded.

We only care about the quality of the video they take. It doesn't
really effect if their servers or slow or their video player is buggy.

Hi All,
We still have a few sponsorship slots open, and I thought that WebFaction
might be interested in sponsoring Pycon, so I was wondering whether anyone
knows Remi Delon (the founder). I do have his email address, but instead of
contacting him cold, if someone knows him that would be a better approach...

Please let me know in a day or two, otherwise I'll email him directly.
Thanks

I'm not very sure of cold calling. If you have leads, we should pursue them.

Hi,

      We have got a pretty good response this year
as well - 54 unique submissions so far (59 minus test talks
and duplicates), with 2 more days to go!

    This year we have 45 min talks and I would prefer
to have the session last 1 hour so that there is ample
time to deliver the talk plus take questions at the end.

Assuming we start at 10.00 every day and end at 5
and leaving the lunch hour, that gives us 6 hours in a day.
Again assuming we want to have talks only for half
a day in the last day (valid ?), that gives a total of
15 hours for the 3 days.

So the total number of talks we want to accept with
this calculation becomes.

15*(number of halls).

If we have 3 halls in all we can accept around 30 talks
(2 halls for talks) plus roughly 5-6 tutorials considering
3 hrs per tutorial.

If we have 4 halls this of course becomes around 45
talks (give or take a few), plus again 5-6 tutorials.

Right now we have a total of 8 tutorial submissions plus
46 talk submissions (which could go up in the next few days),
so we have enough content to manage either of these.

To go ahead with finalizing the number of talks, I need
the information on the halls. Plus other suggestions if any.

I will send out another email to the panel once again,
before we start the process - mostly tomorrow.

Thanks,

We can keep the last day full. I don't think there's any point in
making it a half day.

1 hour is too much for a single talk. Doesn't the 45 minutes include
question time?

Also, you need to put in 10 minutes extra *after* the talk for people
to decompress and go to other halls. We don't have anyone sponsoring
the teleporters this time either. You'll have to factor this into your
calculations. I think 55 minutes per talk is a good number.
45 minutes to talk and 10 to switch rooms.

This way some filtration of talks will happen and overall quality will
improve.

Also @ 5:30 every day we should have couple pre-planned BOF  thats anchored
by one seasoned subject expert!

The 16th is supposed to be a tutorial day when we'll *only* have
tutorials. This will keep the main conference more focussed on real
stuff. I don't think we should have a tutorial track on the main
conference days.

We can have just 2 tracks to keep the talks limited and good. I agree
with you there. The tutorial hall can be used as an open space during
the two conference days for anyone interested in doing some work.

I was under the impression that the 45 mins doesn't include question
time. Question time anyway can vary according to the talk. Why don't
we keep it like 45 mins talk + 10 mins question time (max) + 5 mins
(moving, setting up, etc.)?

BG

 It becomes a bit ugly on the scheduling side when you divide
 on minutes which aren't multiples of a quarter of an hour. With
 this logic,

 First talk  - 10:00 - 10:55
 2nd  talk  - 10:55 -  11:50
 3rd talk   -  11:50 - 12:45

 Lunch  -  1:00 - 2:00
 4th talk - 2:00 - 2:55
 5th talk - 2:55 - 3:50
 6th talk - 3:50 - 4:45


 Doable, but looks kind of ugly to me. Also we aren't gaining anything
 by saving that 5 minutes - in total we save 30 minutes for the day,
 which isn't enough to squeeze another talk, unless we decide to
 go till 5:30pm - which I don't think is a great idea from past
 experiences - people are already losing steam by 5pm.

 I would rather have this,

 1st talk - 10:00 - 11:00
 2nd talk - 11:00 - 12:00
 3rd talk - 12:00 - 12:50  (10 minus less to prepare for lunch, people who
                                        are interested can sacrifice time to
ask questions
                                        in favor of a quick lunch)

lunch  - 1:00 - 2:00pm

 4th talk - 2:00 - 3:00
 5th talk - 3:00 - 4:00
 6th talk - 4:00 - 5:00

Doesn't it look neater  and better to manage ?

 45 minutes should be talk time alone. We will add in 10 minutes
 for Q&A plus 5 minutes for shifting etc - total 1 hour. More than
 ample.

 Shall we then assume 2 parallel talk tracks in the 2 halls ?
 Considering we have more than 1 room for tutorials,
 can we think of running 2 parallel tutorial tracks ?

 I think Noufal's suggestion of 1st day being marked for
 tutorials is a good idea. But in that case we need more than
 1 room for running say 6-7 tutorials in 1 day.

 Assuming 2 halls for 2 days I will pick 15*2 => 30
 plus a few stand-by talks from the proposals (to allow
 for cancellations, which always happens) and around
 5-6 tutorials.

 Does that sound OK ?

Just figured out this will be 12*2 => 24 talks according to my
calculation if we slot the first day only for tutorials. That is
on the lower side considering the # of submissions.

We would want to have around 30-35 talks ideally so
we will need either to have 3 talk tracks (2 halls plus 1 room ?)
allowing to run a 3rd talk track in the last 2 days ,

or,

We might want to have some of these talks scheduled
the first day as well.

I pick the first option.

Thoughts ?

That's the idea. Use all the halls on 16th for *just* tutorials. The
audience will be different. You can pack more tutorials and people can
pick/choose. 

Then, on 17 and 18, do only regular talks in 2 halls (to keep only the
cream of the cream talks). The 3rd hall can be for people to sit around
and code, open spaces with presenters for detailed questions etc. 

If someone wants to organise a dedicated BOF or a hackathon/sprint, it
might fit in the open space room. If not, we'll have to find another
room for it.

Selected speakers should give us a phone number and sign something in
blood saying that they won't cancel at the last minute without notifying
us.

I pick the first option too but you should really go through the talk
list to see if there are enough *good* talks to fill the slots. 24
*good* talks is better than 24 good ones and 10 mediocre ones. 

A lot of people complained on twitter (and to me personally) about talk
quality so it's something we should take seriously.

You have a point. I have already gone through all talks and formed
a rough idea in my mind. However I quickly scanned the list
just now again with a rather good-very good filter in my mind
and I actually came up with exactly 24 talks :)

Yes - we should take care to filter bad talks of course, but
need to balance it out with the fact that we need to give
students a chance, so if you ask me it is a kind of "necessary evil"
to pick a few among the low grade talks - not many so as to
spoil the broth, but just a few.

 I normally stay at smartInn. It is a B&B hotel on FC road. Clean
rooms and decent price given that it is at the center of the city.
Venue is not far (auto charges about INR 30/-). Airport is about 10Km
and auto will charge INR 180/- to 200/-.

Noufal,

          Do we have any update on his travel plans ?
We need to put up a speaker blurb on the front-page of the site

Unfortunately, no. I've been mailing him regularly but I think he's
busy. I'll try a few more times and then if that fails, think of
something else.

I'll get a wiki page up with some of the hotels in the area and at least
some feedback to the extent people are aware of them by end of the coming
week. In the meanwhile a search on "Hotel Apte Road
Pune<http://www.google.com/search?q=hotel+apte+road+pune>"
should help point a number of hotels in the area (note most of them are on
the relatively smaller side) especially if you look at the map that shows
up.

Other roads that would be reasonably close by are :

   - Senapati Bapat Road or S. B. Road (there's a very large but quite
   pricey Mariott here)
   - Law College Road
   - Fergusson College Road
   - J. M. Road

However the density of hotels is probably the largest on Apte Road.

To most of these areas venue should be <=4kms, station should be about 5-8
kms, airport of course is much further (I don't know kms but takes approx
200-220 by prepaid autorickshaw)

Harshad came up with this nice google map. You'll see vishwabhavan on the
far left/west (which is the location of the conference) and see a large
cluster of hotels between FC Road and JM Road (Apte Road runs between them)
towards the east.

Is it possible to list all the options on a wiki page with possible
costs too? I'm sure lots of people will appreciate.

IMHO posting cost might not be a good idea. Pricing can change.

Grouping hotels by price range (if possible)will be valuable info.

 If enough people are interested we can do a group bargain with some
hotel(s) for booking and pricing...

Message-ID: <87bowqzyle.fsf@sanitarium.localdomain>



I've a bunch of queries to contact at in.pycon.org asking about

1. Accomodations - Whether there are cheap ones near the venue etc. 

2. Reimbursements for students, speakers etc.

I know that these two things were brought up on the list but I'm not
sure if there was a conclusion. 

Will someone summarise the points and put them up the http://in.pycon.org/2011
blog? That way, we'll have something to point people to when they ask
questions.

http://gnunify.in/hotels can serve as a starting point for accomodations.
The distances are approximately correct (since the venue for GNUnify was
pretty near the venue for Pycon).
The amounts might need to be reconfirmed.

I like point 1. especially. The conference is meant to be a framework
for people to meet each other and "network" (for want of a better
term). The talks provide the infrastructure necessary to do that. We
should really plan for "free" time.

Let us put whatever information we have right away even if the amounts
are off a bit. People can always confirm with friends or call up the hotels.

With the hotels, just their addresses and phone numbers need to be
correct. We can put in a disclaimer. 

With the reimbursement policy, it has to be accurate.

How about the following as a  consolidated proposal :

a. Upto 5 students for students with an accepted talk or tutorial
b. ID + Letter from institution required
c. Upto II AC Rail Fare / Bus Fare (upto Rs. 2500) + Stipend of Rs.
750 per day of attendance per student.
d. Payment after the talk against bills produced for travel.

Please clarify that 2500 is for the round trip, and it would be 2500 or
lesser on actual bills submitted.
When I was a student, I never had the luxury of travelling by anything more
than  2nd class sleeper ordinary. I think we're pretty generous...

There is. 3 Tier AC exists in most trains. Many have 2 Tier AC, few
have First Class AC.

Times have changed. During my college days Sleeper class was considered
luxury :) Remember those trips from Cochin to Chennai...

I think just like most reimbursements this one says max 2500/- for round
trip.
The actual reimbursement will be to the tune of bills submitted. If > 2500
it will
be capped at 2500.

Correct me if my understanding is wrong.

there is no 3rd class in Indian railways. There is 1st ac, and 2nd ac -
either 2 or 3 tier.

3 tier AC is called "third AC". Even indian railways calls it so.

We never talked about 3rd class, we were only talking about 3rd AC.

Updated consolidated policy for student reimbursement.

a. Upto 5 students for students with an accepted talk or tutorial. If
more than 5 students are eligible, the team selecting the talks will
decide the subset of 5 who qualify.
b. Student ID + Letter from institution required
c. Upto III tier II class AC Rail Fare / Bus Fare (upto Rs. 2500 round
trip) + Stipend of Rs.750 per day of attendance per student.
d. Payment after the talk against bills produced for travel.

If no more comments received by midnight tonight - this passes.

Point a. I don't think we need to restrict it to 5. All students with accepted
         talks will have reimbursements. I think it will be below 5
         anyway. I don't think we're short of money.

         I presume there are no changes with the registration amount for
         these students? 

The rest of the points look fine to me.

Apparently is *is* worth arguing about, otherwise this thread could have been several posts shorter. But that's what you get for joining the Python community: we are the people who kepp the "anal" in "analysis"[1]

It's important that we don't seem mean ("cheap", for those of you who learned your English in America). It's also important that we aren't seen to be throwing largesse around (and there certainly doesn't appear to be any need for concern on that score by the published evidence of this list).

It *isn't* important what exact levels of service are available on Indian railways, and whether or not certain travel sites use correct nomenclature to describe those levels of service[2]. Fortunately this is a Python list, so everybody just stares at each other for a while and says "oh, yeah, we were being anal" and goes back to coding ;-)

Steve, good to know you are keeping a tab on us :)

Indian Railways offer typically 3 classes of sleeper service.

SL  -           Sleeper class (commonly known as 2nd class) - Most basic.
                   Has 3 tiers (berths) on each side making a total of 3+3+2
(side)
                   - 8 berths per compartment.
3A  -           3-tier AC (commonly known as 3rd AC) - This is SL + A/C plus
more
                   sanity and cleanliness thrown in. # of compartments same
as SL.
2A -            2-tier AC (commonly known as 2nd AC) - This is more luxury
                   than 3A since it offers wider berths and only 2 on either
side
                   in the main cabin for a total of 2+2+2  - 6 berths per
compartment.
                   This is most middle class Indian's idea of a very
comfortable long
                   distance train-ride.
1A               1st class - Not available in most trains except a few
select ones.


We are offering 2A - very good SLAs, peace.

Hi All,
Thanks to Harshad Oak, we now have two media partnerships for Pycon - Linux
For You, and DeveloperIQ. We need to design the graphics  that will be used
for the print ads that we're getting and banners for the web ads.

Does anybody know designers or a design company that can volunteer their
time for this effort? Thanks,

We need to announce list of selected talks/tutorials and inform authors
by email by Monday 25th. Ideally this should get done by Sunday 24th.

Last time I used a set of Python scripts to do this (emailing authors).

Dhananjay, since you are kind of leading this now, you can give
me a list of approved talks/tutorials by tomorrow and I can take care
of the rest.

Or if you want to take care of informing authors as well, great,
please let me know.

Thanks

--Anand

I have contacted a few hotels, and a few more I've looked up on cleartrip
(all relatively near to the venue). This is an inprocess update. I still
need to contact a few more. Will consolidate all and put up on the wiki
tomorrow. In the meanwhile here's a partial update (in addition to those
listed on the gnunify page sent earlier).

(Those with HTML formatting disabled will see the data in a non tabular and
thus a confusing layout).

Message-ID: <CAD2aR4PuhOejM-GLuXQS5hdCsoH6UV_T-JxY8Q46qKbqfB73CQ@mail.gmail.com>

It is my pleasure to announce the selected talks and tutorials for Pycon
India 2011. I am pleased that the selected talks and tutorials reflect a set
of interesting and diverse topics on Python. We had a large number of
submissions and it is unfortunate that we had to decline the ability to host
many other talks / tutorials which were also likely to be quite interesting.
The numbers referred to are the same as the numbers on the Pycon India 2011
talks page ie. http://in.pycon.org/2011/talks . We hope to update that page
soon (hopefully some time later today).

The selected talks are

1    pyjs: compiling python to javascript    Anand Chitipothu
5    python based push frameworks    Shamail Tayyab
7    Emacs as a Python IDE    Noufal Ibrahim
11    Machine Learning Using Python    Vikram Kamath
12    From Python to Silicon    Shakthi Kannan
13    Python on Android    Sajjad Anwar
15    LastUser for user management    Kiran Jonnalagadda
20    PyTI(PyPI Testing Infrastructure)    Yeswanth
23    Deployment and Hosting of your Python Web Applications    Lakshman
Prasad
24    Creating Domain Specific Languages in Python    Siddharta Govindaraj
25    Plivo - Developing Telephony Apps in the Web World    Venky
30    Python in the Real World: From Blinking LEDs to Advanced Robotics
Jivitesh Singh Dhaliwal
32    Interacting with the larger Python community around the world    Anand
B Pillai
34    Doing your homework with Python    Nirbheek Chauhan
35    Network programming with Umit Project    Narendran Thangarajan
41    Python threads: Dive into GIL!    Vishal Kanaujia, Chetan Giridhar
43    Decorators as composable abstractions    Sidhant Godiwala
45    Wikipedia, Dead Authors, Naive Bayes and Python     Abhaya Agarwal
46    Snakes for your GIS    Abhishek Mishra
49    Manage your Amazon AWS assets using boto    Chirag Jog
51    Python in the Life Sciences    Farhat Habib
56    Sensors, Embedded Systems and Chuk Chuk    Praneeth Bodduluri
63    Using Python for Data Analysis and Business Intelligence    Dhananjay
Nene
68    Quick Multitouch Apps using kivy and Python    Karan Pratap Singh,
Nitin Chadha

The selected tutorials are :

4    Functional Programming with Python    Anand Chitipothu
37    Twitter/Facebook/Linked-in/Google Data, Oh My! Web API programming
using Python    Navin Kabra
47    Art of Web Scrapping using Python (Low level)    Siddhant Sanyam
55    Using Python with Other Languages    Vishesh Yadav, Siddhant Sanyam
67    image processing and computer interaction    nitin chadha, karan
pratap
71    Redis & Python    Sunil Arora

The talks page should be updated soon on the matter (it is not yet updated).


In addition to these we have shortlisted a few reserve talks in case any of
the existing talk submitter would need to withdraw for any reason
whatsoever. The submitters of these talks have been informed accordingly.

Also due to unavailability of contact information (which is purely an
internal communication issue), I have been unable to inform 4 submitters yet
(one of them having submitted a talk which has been selected). I intend to
rectify it later today as soon as I can. However, after careful thought, I
considered it best not to hold up the selected talk announcement on that
count. Preferably this shortcoming should've been avoided.

Congratulations to all the submitters to the talks that have been selected.
We look forward to submissions from all those who submitted this year and
didn't in 2012. And we also look forward to meeting all the Python
enthusiasts at Pune at Pycon India 2011.

May I remind you to register at http://in.pycon.org/2011/register if you
haven't already done so? Note that the special early bird rate is active
only for a few more days (ie. until July 31st).

Dhananjay

Is Raymond Hettinger confirmed for Pycon. When I publicize Pycon on
PuneTech.com, local mailing lists and colleges in Pune, is it OK to mention
that Raymond H is the keynote speaker, or should I hold off on that?

It's confirmed. He has some travel plans just after the conference so is
trying to get an itinerary that will work smoothyl. That's the only
reason for the delay.

Thanks Dhananjay. Is there a possiblity of getting any of the Symbiosis
hostel rooms? Some students contacted me saying that it would be
expensive to get a hotel etc. 

Also, we need to finalise the reimbursement stuff. Perhaps we can
include a small amount for accomodation in that?

I added some formatting and linked the urls.

How about YMCA, Pune?

http://www.ymcapoona.com/Facilities.aspx

Looks like youth hostel provides low-budget accommodation. It is a bit
far, but it might be good for students.

It is about 5 kms away - with at least 3 kms on inner city roads. Travel
times could be high.

Way too outside to be practical :(  Any savings on accommodation would be
more than offset by expenses on transportation.

It might be a good idea to create a wiki page on the site
(which anyone can edit) so that folks can plan out
BoF/hacks sessions on the side during the conference.

It will make the conference more democratic as well as
provide some forum for folks to plan something early
enough.

I think it might be a hit with those who plan to come together
during the conference and hack on some problems. I am
looking forward myself to some things I can do, if we
can plan ahead early.

Especially since we have limited talks this year, so we
need to give some highlight and support to such
activities.

Thoughts ?

A semi-unconference in parallel with the main event. I think it's a
swell idea and something that most conferences do as they mature.

Yes, my idea was to provide an open space for it on the site itself
so enthusiasts can plan in advance on the whens and hows.

This also adds a sense of expectation ("waiting for conf to do
some real hacking") to the event, which is a good thing.

 Anand C, can we create an open wiki on the site for this ?
 We can provide a specific URL for this which when post-fixed,
will create an open wiki.

For example - in.pycon.org/2011/yourspace/getpython3_hackathon,
                         in.pycon.org/2011/yourspace/opencalais_bof

Isn't it possible to do away with the printouts, if we bring the
ticket in electronic format and manage to show it at the registration
desk?

Added some meat there at http://in.pycon.org/2011/openspace

Can we also put a form there which contains a text input
where someone can enter a wiki name and clicking on
a button the new edit window will pop up automatically ?
That will save the rather ugly "?m=edit" part.

Also, it would be nice if you can automatically list the created
spaces somewhere - in this page perhaps. That will allow
people to quickly find stuff which otherwise they have to
remember since there is no index or shortcut.

Please add some spaces yourself on some things
you want to do, to get the ball moving...

Would be nice. Is this possible right now ?   Next year onwards, we need to
send out SMSes I think. Think green :)

With printouts not only does a lot of paper get wasted, but carrying
printouts is inconvenient for most delegates.

IMHO it's much simpler to just ask people to carry some id, present it at
the welcome desk (driving license / PAN / company card...  ) and cross check
with the list. There's no good reason for someone to take the trouble of
faking an id at an event like Pycon.

Thanks

Subject: [Inpycon] Student Reimbursement Policy Re:  Financial aid
Message-ID: <CAD2aR4NtyDbKopVwTMnMUh-JPp+YN26UGAs3AKaAeGL788XbJw@mail.gmail.com>

This is the final consolidated policy for student reimbursement :

a. Upto 5 students for students with an accepted talk or tutorial. If
more than 5 students are eligible, the team selecting the talks will
decide the subset of 5 who qualify.
b. Student ID + Letter from institution required
c. Upto III tier II class AC Rail Fare / Bus Fare (upto Rs. 2500 round
trip) + Stipend of Rs.750 per day of attendance per student.
d. Payment after the talk against bills produced for travel.
e. Qualifying students still need to register (registration is mandatory for
all - no point making too many exceptions)

Students who have an accepted talk are requested to mail in their request
for reimbursement no later than August 15th. I will be sending a mail to all
the accepted speakers this weekend, so that we make sure the message reaches
them.

While it is unlikely that there will be more than 5 students speakers who
qualify, if such an event indeed occurs, we will take the matter under
consideration to explore if more than 5 requests can be approved. So the
figure of 5 is a soft limit - but we'll debate about it only if there are
more than 5 applications whether the number should be increased.

Fair enough. It's just that you're assuming the best of people which is
not true. 

For example, they often ask for different sized T-shirts. With a ticket,
it's simple and clear. Also, it results in shorted queues when people
don't have to cross check lists.

The US PyCon had a nice idea which was to preprint delegate badges and
keep them there (they do it for around 1000 participants). Just hand the
badge to the chap along with the details of the shirt etc. printed on it
so that that there's no confusion. Swag was distributed from a different
desk on a different day. 

Also, it gives us a way of knowing who registered/paid but didnt attend.

In which case we might hope to infect the cheats with a taste for honesty once they experience it. I realize that my opinions here are culturally biased (affluent America currently doesn't have that many cheats in the market for technical conferences, but I accept that India's milage may differ).

With a ticket you have to check that the person is asking for the size they requested on registration. But its easier to produce 25% more shirts than needed so you don't have to worry about the exact size mix. After the conference you can either given them away to volunteers or pass them on to local/regional user groups for use as prizes.

Oh, only chaps at this conference, then?

It *really* helps to get things organized in advance. I am copying this message to Mary Rush (via her husband Jeff, who is a PSF director). Mary has been the mainstay (overlord, tyrant, you name it: her title changes annually, often several times - she can explain) of the PyCon US registration desk since PyCon went to Texas, and will probably have useful advice if you choose to listen.

I have just been to OSCON. In order to persuade the people at the "Conference Materials" counter to hand over my conference bag (complete with magazines, sponsor inserts and the like) all I had to do was show them my name tag. With staff shift changes I could almost certainly have collected three to five bags in the course of my visits had I chosen to.

Generally it's cheaper to assume no fraud that cater to preventing what little fraud may take place. It'a also a better community ethic: if someone is so keen to go to PyCon that they will lie, steal and/or cheat to get htere, do we really want to deny them the experience?

As does a pike of unclaimed badges at the registration desk.

I think we did budget some excesses last year but a lot of people I know
didn't get the right sizes including some of the organisers who were
busy making the conference work rather than collecting their swag. That
was totally uncool.

All advice is valued. During the past two years, we have had a rather
nasty rush at about 10:00 am or so which is when most of the people
showed up. 

Any advice that can smoothen this is highly welcome. Sree and his little
army did a wonderful job but the process was suboptimal. Just splitting
the registration and the "swag claim" desks would be a good start I
think.

I'm more of a draconian discliplinarian than you on this point but my
main complaint is that the people who really do work their asses off for
the even and come with genuine good intentions don't get what's
rightfully theirs.

It seems to me that draconian discipline isn't terribly Pythonic (leave it to the bondage languages). Look after the workers by taking their share out before the stock is exposed to the public. But in the past I've been happy to do without schwag as a volunteer to ensure that the delegates are supplied.

Perhaps may end up requiring an extra volunteer or two but that should allow
them to go ahead even in case of a valid ID in case they haven't got their
tickets.

In addition if they join the wrong queue because they changed their mind on
the t-shirt size they want or because they forgot the tickets home and can't
quite recollect it - unless there is an extra volunteer readily available -
they have the ultra exclusive privilege to join the next queue again at the
rear :) (this is draconian too - but only in an exception case)
