Message-ID: <87mx67wjyc.fsf@sanitarium.localdomain> Hello everyone, I'm afraid that due to some personal matters, I'll have to pull back a little from PyCon India this year. I'm not sure if I'll be able to show up for the event either since Septmber is going to be rather tight for me. I've sent the financial calculations and a rudimentary sponsorship brochure in a separate email. I have a list of companies who I approached in the US who might be interested in sponsoring the event if we move quickly enough. I also have a list of people who are willing to come as keynote speakers if we can contact them and finalise the dates and other things quickly. If someone else can take the reigns, I can send introductory emails etc. Thanks! -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in "Professional certification for car people may sound like an oxymoron." -The Wall Street Journal, page B1, Tuesday, July 17, 1990.

Have not been able to review the information Noufal has sent. Unfortunately spending almost every waking hour on a task that finishes this 24th. Would request that I get some time to review it and revert 25th night. I noticed some comments about there being a upper limit on the number of sponsorship packages. Just as an example I had strongly felt any such limits are likely to be counterproductive.

I didn't incorporate the collated feedback which you sent from last years event. I just wanted to get the ball rolling. My main reason for the modular thing was that people have specific needs and we price things based on their popularity. They get to pick and choose, we throw in a few freebies based on how much they're giving us and it's a sponsorship package. They also have some control on exactly how much they want to spend. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in We must believe in free will. We have no choice. -Isaac B. Singer
