They are at law college road and they have conducted several opensource events in past. They have decent infra too.

Given the timelines we may not be able to hold a full-fledged event, but we can plan a limited edition in October in Bangalore upto 2 days. Let us start a fresh thread on this.

[...] I think it will be a little crippled regardless of where it's held since a lot of time has been lost. However, we can try to strip it down a little, make it a 2 day event, drop the swag and try to have attendee fees cover the food costs. We could coordinate with HasGeek for the A/V equipment. Sadly, it looks like a step backwards but I think it's important to not break the streak. We should still target it for September so that our general cycle doesn't get disrupted. I don't expect that we will be able to get a keynote speaker or to get good sponsorships so we should take this into consideration while planning. Finally, once the event is over, we should do some serious soul searching about the event and get things more concrete. -- Cordially, Noufal http://nibrahim.net.in From sree at mahiti.org Tue Jun 5 07:55:51 2012 From: sree at mahiti.org (Sreekanth S Rameshaiah) Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2012 11:25:51 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] PyCon 2012 Possible Dates In-Reply-To: References: <87aa11om4n.fsf@smriti.com> <87txz7mt87.fsf@smriti.com> <87y5o25q0w.fsf@smriti.com> Message-ID: On 5 June 2012 11:10, Anand Chitipothu wrote: > On Tue, Jun 5, 2012 at 10:11 AM, Navin Kabra wrote: > > Unfortunately, there is a problem with the Symbiosis venue.

I too was wondering why CoEP wasn't considered. They have pretty good capacity of 600+ in their main auditorium. Also 2nd auditorium can accommodate around 150+.

Dharmaram College HasGeek conducts events regularly at this place and it is very accessible. It has 2 rooms of capacity 150+ and 3 rooms of capacity 100. Each room costs about 5K/day. Pros: * Easily accessible * Not very expensive * HasGeek has an airtel broadband connection at this place and we'll be able to make use of it Cons: * Capacity is 450. Assuming that some people will be out socializing, the max capacity is around 600 2. M S Ramaiah College PyCon India 2010 was conducted here. I think there were big enough auditoriums. Pros: * We've already conducted the event there once * Will probably get free of cost Cons: * We need some student volunteers to coordinate the venue * Not so much accessible 3. RVCE We considered this venue for PyCon India 2010, but favored Ramaiah because it is more accessible than RVCE. Pros: * Will probably get for free of cost Cons: * Too far from city 4. Amrita University I did a Python workshop at this place and I'm in touch with some students there. It is a bit far from the center of city, but not too far. Pros: * Will probably get for free of cost * There will be enough capacity * I have some contacts Cons: * Not very accessible 5. IIMB I've attended some barcamps at this place. They have big enough auditoriums. Pros: * High Capacity * We may get it for free Cons: * Far from city * Will involve lot of efforts to initialize the dialog 6. Nimhans Auditorium I'm not sure how much it costs, but it will be too expensive for us.

It will be nice to continue the tradition of doing the event in September. Since we are very late already very late, my suggestion is for September 29-30. We should try to avoid September 22-23 as HasGeek is conducting an event on that day and we need support from HasGeek (A/V and other stuff). We also need to decide whether or not to have the tutorial day. Since it will be on a friday, it may not be possible in the some of the potential venues.

Will have to wait for couple of days to find if it is possible to get that venue on Friday. It seems Nimhans Auditorium costs 1.9L/day, which is way too expensive for us. Even J N Tata auditorium will be equally expensive. So doing the event at a commercial venue is ruled out. I'm trying to speak with some students of Amrita to see if there is enough interest. If you have any contact any any potential venue, please start a discussion and let me know.

Most of conference expense is food. I think it is a good idea to make people pay for their food at least. I spoke to hasgeek people and their lunch costs Rs. 250/day including tea/coffee. If we decide to have a tutorial day, I suggest to keep a special price for that as an add on. I suggest the following tiers. Early Bird Registration - Rs. 500 + Rs. 250 Regular Registration - Rs. 700 + Rs. 300 Late Registration - Rs. 1000 + Rs. 400 At Venue - Rs. 1500 + Rs. 500 Last years we had a closing date for early bird registrations and every one booked their tickets in the last minute. I propose the number of tickets in each category so that people are forced to register early. I think we can cap early bird for 200 tickets and regular for 300/400 tickets. What do you think?

It is okay if all the slots are not filled. We've about 2 and half months of time to work on sponsorships, assuming we close sponsorships one month before the conference. Isn't that sufficient time? Also, we have not decided anything on swag yet. We'll plan for swag based on the sponsorships we get. If we get a little more sponsorship money than we need, we'll be in a better position for next year. I don't think we need to worry about it. We can reduce the slab amounts if everyone thinks so. What do you suggest? 65K, 1.3L and 2.0L? The premium economy ticket price from US to India is about $3000. It matches with the current Gold sponsorship amount. We need to work on giving additional benefits to travel sponsors if decide to reduce that slab.

Yes but find first finding a sponsor for this amount, getting the money and *then* talking to a keynote speaker will make it quite late and I don't know if people would be available then. There are one or two people we spoke with whose companies might sponsor their trips. This would be perfect since it removes a lot of our headaches and gives us a keynote speaker.

Regarding the offline payments, is it okay to say that the ticket amount has to be paid within two weeks after registering? That will make our life simple as we know exactly how many people are registered and don't have to worry about collecting offline payments at the venue.

We should try to avoid collecting these things at the venue since it'll lead to backed up queues and create a lot of rather tiring work.

Paying Rs. 900 for 3 day conference is not a large amount. I spoke to couple of students and they were under the same impression. My suggestion is to not have special student tier and promote the conf. early in colleges so that students can book for earlybird price.

I would suggest keeping offline payments but getting away with on-the-spot registrations, if that would help us with managing food and swag. Let them register online but pay the money on-the-spot, and such cases need to be given any discounted price. -- With Regards, Parthan (http://technofreak.in) From anandology at gmail.com Sun Jun 10 11:36:51 2012 From: anandology at gmail.com (Anand Chitipothu) Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2012 15:06:51 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] conference fee In-Reply-To: <4FD4699E.4010807@gmail.com> References: <4FD4699E.4010807@gmail.com> Message-ID: > I would suggest keeping offline payments but getting away with on-the-spot > registrations, if that would help us with managing food and swag.

If someone can't pay online and he can register and pay offline within 2 weeks after registration. That way we know the people who are not going to turn up query early and make better judgements for arrangements. And I think it is important to keep on-spot registrations. There will always be people who'll get to know about the event very late. By keeping on-spot registration fee very high, we can reduce the number of people who register on-spot.

The ticket price should cover the bare minimum expenses required to run the event. This is typically venue+food. You have to divide the venue cost by expected average turnout to get the per-ticket part of the venue cost. For students, skip the venue cost but include the food cost. This means Rs 900 is just about right for student tickets (300 per day x 3 days). Limit the total number of student tickets available so that there are enough others to pay for the venue. 2. Ticket prices should be tiered (early bird, regular, late etc) to encourage folks to register early. The people who register later pay extra to subsidize student tickets and swag. Convincing people to register early also gives you a better sense of what the turnout is going to be like, which helps with planning. For example, you can negotiate better rates with caterers if you can commit to higher numbers. Most people register just before a deadline, so you should have many of them, raising the price a little bit each time. 3. To make #2 work, you have to make participants commit by paying up. I recommend insisting on online payments only. Payment gateways support pretty much every bank these days, and everybody has a bank account. In the rare case someone is with some obscure bank, they can do a NEFT transfer and email you about it. We get roughly 1 person in every 500 asking for this. If you do accept offline payments, many people will chose to pay offline because it means they can defer commitment while reserving the price. It's your headache to follow up with them and convince them to pay up. 4. Some people have more money than time. They can't commit early, but they don't mind paying extra at the venue. This will be roughly 5% of the turnout. This is not a problem for food because caterers anyway plan for a 10% margin in numbers, and there always dropouts: people who pay for a ticket but don't turn up.

I've noticed that if someone want to give a tutorial, he has to pay additional fee for the tutorial day. Which is insane.

Definitely, help is always welcome and yes it is "possible" to help even if you are from another city :) Typically the work on the venue starts 1 day in advance. Venue volunteers need to be there on the day before to set up the infrastructure, check rooms, test network, and help in other little things. During the conference, we can use help in many ways including volunteering to manage speakers, help-desk, registration desk, setting up direction notices and countless other little things. We can also use help in directing people who are coming to the city from outside as in manning certain cell numbers where they can call for help if they are stuck in traffic or trying to find the route to the venue. Keep watching this list for updates and specific calls for help. > Thanks, > Bibhas > http://bibhas.in/ > > -- Regards, --Anand -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Some place for startups[1] to display their stuff. They might have to pay a small amount for registration and then can can have a small place to pitch their company. I can see a couple of problems. 1. Larger companies might get dissuaded from sponsoring the event since they might see the startups as getting a better deal for a smaller amount of money. 2. Smaller companies who are willing and can afford to take a regular sponsorship slot might decide not to. [...] Footnotes: [1] We need to be clear with our definition here.

Refunds are better compared to transfers, but I said +1 to no refunds to make sure we don't lose funds this time since we cannot afford to do that. If we want to play very nice, we can have refunds.

[...] People lose money, albeit a small amount, with cancellations. The doattend processing fees are not returned. This can be avoided with transfers. I'd allow transfers on a case by case basis as long as the person who wants to transfer is put through considerable inconvenience to do so as a discouragement measure. -- Cordially, Noufal http://nibrahim.net.in From anandology at gmail.com Tue Jun 19 08:11:15 2012 From: anandology at gmail.com (Anand Chitipothu) Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2012 11:41:15 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] Ticket cancellation/refund policies.

There were just 5 cancellation requests last year. I don't think this issue is worth bothering. If someone cancels a ticket, he'll get refund of amount paid - doattend transaction charges. When someone requests for cancellation, we'll just fwd that request to support at doattend and they'll take care of all the money transfers.

What I feel is correct is to allow for cancellations since we'd like to give opportunity for people to attend instead of having vacant spaces. Cancellations should only be allowed upto a given date. It would also allow to know how many tickets have been cancelled and the same tickets can be offered to people who want to register online at the last minute, they can be sold at going rate at that time irrespective of the time that original ticket was bought. -- With Regards, Mehul Ved From noufal at gmail.com Tue Jun 19 08:44:47 2012 From: noufal at gmail.com (Noufal Ibrahim) Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2012 12:14:47 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] PyCon India 2012 poster In-Reply-To: (Sreekanth S.

It's not going to be a major support hassle for any of the volunteers. You get an email notification that someone's asked to cancel, and you have to login and choose how much to refund them.

Finding someone to transfer to is still work for them, so the chances of someone abusing this for black market sales is pretty slim.

For those of us coming from other cities (Hello from Mumbai here!), we'll already face a big enough hit on the flight and hotel cancellation charges (the flight cancellation charges for the first flight I checked turned out be almost 40% of the flight ticket charges). Also, considering we're booking this so far in advance, it is hard for us to determine whether we will actually be able to make it on the day (work circumstances might change, medical issues may crop up, etc). While booking, we have to consider these risks and determine how much we are to lose should we have to cancel (Of course, we wouldn't *want* to cancel- if we did, most of us wouldn't book in the first place). In increasing the amount one stands to lose on canceling, there is a greater disincentive against booking in the first place. So, here is looking forward to a be-nice policy for refunds and transfers. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Our supplier, SimpleLife, gives us great quality for ~Rs 250+taxes for large orders (400+ t-shirts). They seem to be having a rough patch, however, and may not be able to service an order at that price in September. T-shirt prices, like with food, always go up. Today's prices won't hold for September. We used to source polo t-shirts for Barcamp Bangalore for ~250 back in 2007. Now those cost 500-700.

We also ask people to NOT print tickets (the default DoAttend ticket template says DO print). It's easy enough to export the attendee list, sort it and keep a printout at the registration counter. When an attendee walks in, ask them to show some form of id and check their name off the list. Don't bother with their ticket printouts. This solves all problems with verifying tickets. We've automated all this with an open source app: https://github.com/hasgeek/peopleflow (repo is missing BSD license declaration and setup instructions since we're the only users so far). In Peopleflow, if you check a name off the list at one counter, it goes away from all other counters because it runs as a web app. This allows having registration desks that are physically separated from each other.

Easier to keep track of attendees. I built one for a local event here. Something similar was also there at Open hack. Easier to search through the list. Or else, if done manually, it takes around 5-10 seconds per person to find them in the list. > Kiran > > _______________________________________________ > Inpycon mailing list > Inpycon at python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/inpycon > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A hard deadline is not needed, we can request to do this 1-2 days before the conference in the CFP itself. We could also keep the deadline to say Aug 30 to give more time for people.

For example, I could propose a talk "distributed crawling with Python" for someone else to speak and you can signup for that by responding in the comments. > 3. Objective - Seems like a new field.

It seems to be in the right order to me. Try reading one of the proposed sessions in funnel. http://funnel.hasgeek.com/5el/366-the-elephant-that-flew-big-data-analytics-inmobi I'll try to reduce the size. > 4.

I don't see a problem in keeping it last. The person submitting it will write about the talk first and adds couple of lines about himself. I don't think we have any information to prefill the form. > 7. Fields for mobile phone number - Remember the hassles > we had with this in 2010 for AWOL speakers ? We need the > contact numbers - primary (required) and secondary (optional). In Funnel, all the data that is submitted is displayed. There is no way to take a field and display only to admins. I think we can ask for their contact details when we send email when talk is selected. I'm trying to avoid any additional work. The talk sumission form has been improved by HasGeek over time from experience of running many conferences. Unless there is a strong reason, I would prefer to continue with that form.

You can submit a proposal, ping your friend on twitter and ask him if he is interested to take up the task.

I had thought the idea here was I propose a talk on behalf of a known person perhaps after discussing the idea with him. I submit it on his behalf because he might be busy or doesn't want to be bothered with submission details. This seems to the case that I "think" a talk on the topic T would be nice-to-have so I am proposing it, hoping someone would take it up on himself to actually deliver it. Such submissions can cause confusion if not taken up and impact the review process and timelines. I propose to remove the option entirely. > > > 3. Objective - Seems like a new field.

However, this is one more conference that is using the form, and as they have improved it with experience, I think any feedback here is valid as well in improving the form, correct ? It is not correct to take the approach that this is set in stone and be not open to comments. > > Anand > _______________________________________________ > Inpycon mailing list > Inpycon at python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/inpycon > -- Regards, --Anand -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I agree that it would be good ask for mobile number, but considering the amount of work involved in adding a new field to the form, I suggest going ahead with the work around. Also I don't think it is a good idea to ask people to put their mobile number in the fields displayed publicly. >> The talk sumission form has been improved by HasGeek over time from >> experience of running many conferences.

It was not my intention to under-value the experience of PyCon India and the form improvements that we've done over years. Keeping the time involved in making customizations to the form, I would try to avoid adding any new fields. Removing or reordering fields is not that hard.

URL: From jace at pobox.com Fri Jun 22 11:22:38 2012 From: jace at pobox.com (Kiran Jonnalagadda) Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 14:52:38 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] Draft of the CFP and Proposed Dates for the Talks In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Anand and Anand, Couple of points on this: 1. Funnel does not display everything that is asked. For instance, email is not shown at all. There's a JSON feed at //json, which has an email field which is always blank unless the user is logged in as an admin. You could easily add a mobile number field. I skipped this because I was hoping to have users add a mobile number in LastUser, get it verified, and have that picked up by Funnel. TRAI's anti-spam rules last year basically killed the SMS industry, shutting down all providers through which one could send a verification code. Funnel doesn't have an (unverified) mobile number field because I was trying to do it the proper way and external conditions made it unviable, and I got frustrated and set it aside. You should just add the mobile field and apply the same logic used for the email field. 2. On the speaking/proposing divide: I took the standpoint that if someone is far too busy to submit their own proposal, they'll probably outsource their talk as well. We wanted folks who were more interested in engaging with the community than being on stage, so Funnel initially only allowed submitting for yourself. Then I noticed people submitting proposals saying they'd like to attend a talk on the proposed topic, not to speak themselves. They were hoping someone would notice and offer to take it up. I implemented this by splitting the proposer/speaker record on the proposal. They could be the same person or different persons. The idea was that anyone interested in speaking could leave a comment saying so, and if their comment got enough votes, the proposer could nominate them as the speaker. The UI for accepting someone as a speaker never got implemented. I've learnt from watching it over a few events that this approach has problems. The nominated speaker did not write the proposal and cannot edit it. They may have different ideas for how to present on the topic, but those ideas don't come through. It's better if the speaker submits their own proposal, linking to the original as the reference. This bit isn't implemented either, but it's part of the new codebase we're writing for http://hacknight.in. For PyCon, I'll recommend just removing that option. You just have to remove one field from the form and two lines of logic in the view. Kiran On Fri, Jun 22, 2012 at 2:29 PM, Anand Chitipothu wrote: > Hope it works.
