[Inpycon] PyCon 2012: Venue?

[Abdul Muneer]

The biggest drawback is the old school presentation as you mentioned. This
is not on par with the presentations we see on US pycon etc.

I guess being free may not be a big advantage given the sponsors we have
(those who worked on the sponsorship are more qualified to say abt it than
me).
The location is fine, but the facility should be better.
