If you have already submitted a proposal, please make sure it meets the about guidelines. Note to all attendees We are excited that you're coming along ! To make your experience better and to see more of your favorite talks, make sure to vote on the ones that you'd love to attend.

I spoke to Saket Saurav of Campus Hash and they are interested to cover about 20 colleges in Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal. I spoke Sarath of Free Software Movement Karnataka (FSMK) about partnering with them and conducting workshops in and around Bangalore. Looks like a partnership is possible. They can talk to colleges and arrange workshops we can find people to do workshops. There are other organizations like Free Software Movement Tamilnadu, Swetcha (Andhra Pradesh), with whom we can try to partner. This is a big task to handle and requires lot of volunteer support. Here is how you can help. 1. If you are a python programmer and sign up to do a workshop at some college in your city 2. if you are a professor or student, arrange a workshop in your college Interested? Please sign up here - http://bit.ly/pythonmonth We also need or of volunteers to manage these workshops, talk to colleges, talk to speakers and schedule the workshops. Ideally I would like to have one or two volunteers for each state to manage Python Month. If you are interested please reply to this email.

Apart from that i will announce about same in our upcoming OpenStack Meetup in Hyderabad and to our user group which has around 1200+ members to get some helping hand. For those who are not familiar with OpenStack software, it uses Python for everything apart from the AMQP component. So essentially 90% + code in Python. Let me know if anymore help needed from our side.

My plan is invite people involved with Python (and more broadly open source) education in India and put them all on stage to disucss pertinent issues for about an hour. The people I have in mind are 1. A representative from the Kerala state education board. The use Python as the primary language in their 8, 9 and 10th textbooks. They have a custom Ubuntu distro with packages that they've written textbooks for and have gone a long way with this. I've got some responses from the IT at School organisation but I need to follow up. 2. A similar representative from the CBSE. With their recent syllabus change that introduces Python as an alternative to *cough* C++ *cough*, I think someone in the know from the CBSE will be able to provide some useful inputs as well. 3. Pramode C.E. of Recursive labs. (http://recursive-labs.com) Pramode is a mentor who's been having a huge impact on the student community in Kerala. He uses Python (and other languages) for mentoring students and I think will have stuff to contribute. 4. Someone from FOSSEE.in They're govt. sanctioned, use a lot of Python and are into education. Perfect fit. 5. Someone from the FOSS organisation that Kenneth worked with. I forget the name of the organisation but as far as I know, they do student workshops and a lot of other things. They have some govt. recognition and will be good fit. I can sit as a moderator myself. I need two things. 1. Any comments or further suggestions.

School level (high school education) 2. Technical education (college level) 3. Vocational education (as a job skill or something similar to what FOSSEE does) 4. Intrinsic value (why teach python as opposed to C++ as a first language). > Will it be useful to keep this panel at the first day and have an open > space in the second day?

I'm not sure we need to plan this in detail but if we have one, we can call for an open space if there are sufficient people interested after the panel.

I wonder, how all of them are going to be accommodated. Is there any limit to the number of people who would be issued the tickets? (2) I see not only see developers attending this conference but also Enterprise IT Managers, etc. I attended the *AWS Summit, New Delhi*, and I liked their idea of having different tracks. Example - Developer Track, Enterprise Track. Both tracks run in parallel in different halls. So speakers get to chose their track, and each track has a set of speakers speaking in parallel. This not only saves time, but helps divide so many people reducing the number of people in each segment. (The type of the tracks could be anything for that matter, based on broad topics) Perhaps its late for planning on such an idea this year (or maybe viable)? I just want a public opinion on the idea. It could be useful in future.

If we have a startup row or an open exhibition type area, I suppose we could put up a pyladies booth there for you and the others to run. I think we did something like this for hasgeek last year.

Every time, we see lot of people raising their hands to run PyCon India in their city. Running PyCon India is very big effort. Whoever is interested to take the lead next year should do some homework before AGM and convince the community that they can run the conference effectively. Interested? Here is what you can do now. * Call for a meeting in your city, preferably in the python usergroup mailing list and discuss with everyone. * PyCon India requires a venue of 1000+ capacity. Find out what venues are available in your city and how much it costs. (This year we are paying close to 2L/day for NIMHANS). * PyCon India requires a lot of sponsorships to meet the expenditure. Major part of the sponsorships usually comes from the hosting city. Show the community that you can raise sponsorships by getting at least a couple of sponsorships from your city for this year's PyCon India. If you can't find 2 sponsorships this year, it is unlikely that you'll be able to find 10 next year. * PyCon India gets better every year. We would like that to continue even after it moves to a different city. You should get involved in running the event this year and understand the nitty-gritties, so that you don't have to reinvent them again.

But many colleges, & even small college departments are running Algorithmic competitions on-line successfully. So, I think it doesn't take much in giving a nice Algorithmic Challenge a try. It works out best, if it can be managed by some volunteer or a company with a strong history in hosting such competitions. The competition can strongly associate itself with *PyCon India 2013* and Python should be the de-facto programming language for this. (ie. Only Python solutions accepted) It would be a great way to learn and compete using Python. *Merits:* - PyCon India 2013 reaches out to more people than who actually attend it. - Python becomes more popular as a language in solving algorithmic problems,also in campus interviews,etc *How to host such a competition:* It is not so hard to manage such a competition. Even teams of 2-3 people at college-departments are able to host such algorithmic competitions during technical festivals; so for the number of volunteers PyCon has seen this should not be hard. I would love to do it personally, but already have too much responsibilities in hand, (have also volunteered in PyCon for other bit). Nevertheless, I can help setting up new problems and testing solutions if such a competition is hosted. I would need helping hands for arranging for such competition with partner organizations by talking to them and there could be a need for more problem setters too. Just as an example: Codechef offers simple guidelines on how non-profit organizations can host your their competition (without any cost) http://www.codechef.com/hostyourcontest/apply/ Its just an example. There are more possibilities. Problem setters can restrict challenges to particular languages, set time limits (Option offered by most programming portals) *Encouraging Students, Programmers - Prizes:* PyCon India 2013 Smart-Coder Award / Certificate, T-Shirts can be awarded to people who lead such a competition, prizes can be shipped to winners. (Might need logistic / shipping partner companies for that) I think a Logistics / Shipping partner would be required for more stuff too (Or not)? Don't know much on this side. But if anyone can help in here would be great. Best Regards, - Pranjal P.S: Maybe, I will write something more formally on this soon, giving further details on how to well organize such an event.

But if anyone can help in here would be great. I would be happy to give away prize to few individuals or college students who fixes a bug in open source projects like Flask, Django or core python which gets merged to upstream, helps the community growth and individual contribution to the community. This creates better community where there is a motivation for open source contributors. For example In algorithm challenge 30 people try to solve 3 algorithm problem, but if 30 people try to fix 10 bugs atleast or add new feature to open source project there is more measurable value for community. One use case for conducting algorithm or problem solving session in pycon is where sponsors want to hire. Here volunteers tie with business to make the process easier.

But I have some points in order: (1) I was NOT talking about organizing such an event "during" PyCon, but before it as an associated event. So it does not bother any employee of a company who is not interested in it. (2) Its about catering to interests of different people in a great way to make PyCon better along with making Python more demotic. There are many students, Computer Science people who love algorithms, mathematics & puzzles. There are people who love Open Source contribution. There are people who love both. Thats the way it is. I am personally a FOSS contributor, but equally love solving programming challenges. (3) Talks on Python & Algorithms is interesting. I liked the talk which Anand gave last year on solving Puzzles using Python (having gone through its slides) On Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 11:55 AM, me kracekumar wrote: > > Why I feel algorithm solving doesn't help community? > > 1.

From my experience with contributing to and managing open source projects, kickstarting a sprint towards a specific OSS project needs early planning. It is possible to however do an "Open Hackathon" based on topics which are given out in the conf. For example think of a workflow like, 1. We announce 3 open topics for small open hacks in Python on day #1 - specific programming challenges. 2. You can hack till the 2nd day evening and submit by a fixed time - full working code with README and docs. 3. We evaluate and announce the winners on day #3 and give some prizes - this can be sponsored. I said "We" - but it can also be run by a sponsor. I am not sure if there is bandwidth to plan and execute this now, but would be nice to see something like this. > > > [...] > > Regards, - -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Software Architect/Consultant anandpillai at letterboxes.org Please note my updated email address .

HasGeek already has website for managing it. Someone can propose a sprint for a project and interested people can join. But it requires handling logistics in each city.

If there is no framework or plan in place to handle the incoming volunteers, your initiative may not work out well. There are many concepts discussed here, I see, 1. Hackathon - Attached to conf. 2.

The goals of 1, 2 and 4 are completely different from that. I agree, we need to have a plan ready before we start publicizing this. That the reason I suggested to wait for couple of days before publicizing on full scale. Anand -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

PyCon is just the name of the event. Is PSSI as an organization supporting it? How?

I mentioned earlier that even 1 or 2 students of a college department are able to organize similar events easily with the help of good open programming websites (without any cost). Moreover, there are companies which are interested in taking the entire responsibility of this event. Example: I had a discussion with Mr. Vivek Prakash of HackerEarth, and they have submitted a very detailed idea of how they are going to organize the event. (Mails directly sent to IPSS coordinators). *Salient points of the competition-* - A Completely Online Competition. - Held during a span of 1-3 days before the PyCon conference. (No clash of events) - Programming Language to be used - Only Python - Interested Audience - School / College Students - Minimal / No cost in organizing the event [1] - Prizes- PyCon Certificates, T-Shirts (Thats the only cost to PyCon) [1] Company organizing the event has the privilege of being associated with PyCon, which immensely helps in its brand-building; The company should not charge a fee for organizing such an event; but associate with PyCon as a partner. In return PyCon can pass on the complete responsibility of the event to the organizing company. Benefits for the Python Society- There will be many students / individuals who participate in this contest that makes PyCon & Python more popular. *I would encourage the IPSS organizers to have a word with such interested companies and sign some sort of a contract, to make this happen. *Lets hope we do have a *PyCode* this year.* It would really be great!** * Best Regards, - Pranjal On Fri, Jul 12, 2013 at 12:28 PM, sankarshan wrote: > On Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 1:41 AM, pranjal mittal > wrote: > > It could be nice to organize Code-Sprints or Hackathons for developers by > > associating with IT Companies & Open Source Communities.

In your proposed flow (as above) the event is to be organized a couple of days *before* PyCon India. And, it is going to be online. The former ie. the premise of a separate set of days makes it difficult to have associative branding. Or, in other words, the online competition and the main event ie. PyCon India would have Python as a programming language in common, but not much beyond in terms of thematic resonance. Secondly, let us assume that there is indeed an online competition organized. A competition indicates winners. So, what do the winners receive for their toils in terms of visibility (aside from the swag+certificate)? And, how would the prizes in the competition be linked to the main event? Having an in-event competition provides some more degree of brand coupling than having one external/separate. Third, is focused on helping companies identify "great programmers, the smart way". It is a talent acquisition workflow tool. Is that really the best platform at the moment for an online coding competition? > [1] Company organizing the event has the privilege of being associated with > PyCon, which immensely helps in its brand-building; The company should not > charge a fee for organizing such an event; but associate with PyCon as a > partner. > In return PyCon can pass on the complete responsibility of the event to the > organizing company. > > Benefits for the Python Society- There will be many students / individuals > who participate in this contest that makes PyCon & Python more popular. I am not too sure that the above is a very linear benefit to PyCon India in specific and, the software society in general. /sankarshan -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay From mittal.pranjal at gmail.com Fri Jul 12 12:25:58 2013 From: mittal.pranjal at gmail.com (pranjal mittal) Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2013 15:55:58 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] [PyCon 2013] Programming Challenges, Hackathons & Sprints, in Python at PyCon In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: (1) No idea on associative branding. But one thing I am sure of is that such an event will only help make PyCon better. If you want to see the response- The PyCon facebook page admins could create a poll asking whether such an event should be organized and see how it turns out :-) Individuals not only look for great prizes but an opportunity to see their standing and have fun programming. Additional prizes act as a further motivation. If you have a look at PyCon US. They too have side events like Codesprints, conducted before or after the actual conference duration that indirectly helps in bolstering the stand of PyCon as an international conference and helps get many sponsors. http://us.pycon.org/2014/ (2) About HackerEarth As far as I know, HackerEarth is a generic platform for programmers to challenge, practice & compete and not just a talent acquisition platform. The key aspect of it is an *Online Judge tool *and a cluster, which helps in automated evaluation of code submissions allowing them to host online coding challenges and test individuals. The have hosted many successful contests (links added below) with a huge-turnout. *IndiaHacks* was one of them organized in collaboration with yourstory.in, which included participation from top Indian student programmers including ACM-ICPC finalists.

It's a time to come together with colleagues, old and new, to share what you've learned and apply it to an open source project." This is by definition a bit different from online competitions which was one of the thrusts of your proposal. Organization and success of sprints depend on : [1] identifying projects [2] identifying those who will wrangle the sprints [3] interested participants and, [4] some idea of what could constitute a definition of a successful sprint. That should not be too hard to come by. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay From foss.mailinglists at gmail.com Fri Jul 12 14:05:13 2013 From: foss.mailinglists at gmail.com (sankarshan) Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2013 17:35:13 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] [PyCon 2013] Programming Challenges, Hackathons & Sprints, in Python at PyCon In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: [deliberate forking of the response into two individual emails] On Fri, Jul 12, 2013 at 3:55 PM, pranjal mittal wrote: > As far as I know, HackerEarth is a generic platform for programmers to > challenge, practice & compete and not just a talent acquisition platform.

I think the answer is no. PyCon India is a community effort. If a sponsor wants to do their own coding competitions while the conference going on, they can go ahead but that should not be branded as PyCon India event.

If you are interested, I suggest you to organize hack nights one week before the conference in your city and see if there is interest in other cities.

And that is what one's point of focus becomes when he/she walks down into a conference. On the other hand, code sprints are a great idea, and people would want to actually be a part of it. We already have multiple tracks to choose from. So, having a code sprint makes it even tougher for people, to choose where to go. Like Anand said, I would hence vote for having a more focused space where people have come down specifically with the mindset to be a part of the sprint. Although I'm certain that impromptu code sprints will pop up, which is healthy, I believe.

Someone proposing a code sprint would already be in behind-the-scenes discussions with interested participants on what to sit down and achieve. From that perspective, the rationale of "it makes it more difficult for people to choose" would not hold. There would already be people who have opted to be part of the code sprint. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay From anandology at gmail.com Mon Jul 15 07:11:09 2013 From: anandology at gmail.com (Anand Chitipothu) Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:41:09 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] Python Month mailer Message-ID: Hello everyone, Here is the draft of the email that we are planning to send to all mailing lists. Please have a look at it and let me know if you have any suggestions for changes. Thanks to Konark Modi for preparing the initial draft of this email. I've made some changes to his draft. Anand --- PYTHON MONTH PyCon India, the premier conference in India on using and developing the Python programming language is conducted annually by the Python developer community and it attracts the best Python programmers from across the country and abroad. This year, PyCon India is celebrating the month of August as Python Month, which aims to spread the awareness and awesomeness of Python Programming Language to the student community in India. WHAT IS PYTHON: Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It o?ers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned in a few days. Many Python programmers report substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the development of higher quality, more maintainable code. Some of the biggest names in the industry like Mozilla, Google, YouTube, Dropbox, SurveyMonkey, Bitly and numerous others also use Python for providing their services. Because Python is very easy to learn and powerful at the same time, it is used as first programming language to introduce computer science in many universities and high schools. In India, Kerala state and CBSE have adopted Python in their school syllabus. HOW YOU CAN HELP Python month will be organized and completely run by volunteers, anyone who wants to participate is welcome and all help is appreciated. This is a big task to handle and requires lot of volunteer support. Here is how you can help. 1. If you are a python programmer and please give a talk / workshop at a college in your city. 2. If you are a professor or student, arrange a workshop in your college 3. Help us in coordinating Python Month by talking to colleges to arrange workshops. Interested? Please sign up here - http://bit.ly/pythonmonth Have any questions or suggestions?

I agree with you on that. My point is that if it is made a part of the schedule, it increases the already existing choices for those who are not already in the behind the scene discussion, making choosing difficult specially for those who would want to be a part of both. My idea is that people make the most out of their participation. Having another focused day increases the scope for precisely that, and doesn't at all stop the possibility of having non-schedule impromptu code sprints. A win-win for all I presume.

We have 3 big auditoriums and couple of small rooms in the first floor at NIMHANS. I suggest that we use run 3 sessions/track and use all the three auditoriums. That'll give us space for 9 workshops in total. If we want to accommodate more workshops, we can use the rooms in the first floor. To have 3 sessions/track, each session will have to be 2:30 hours. Here is the schedule. 09:30 - 12:00 Session 1 12:00 - 13:00 Lunch 13:00 - 15:30 Session 2 15:30 - 16:00 Tea Break 16:00 - 18:30 Session 3 Other option is to have 2 sessions/track, each of 3 hours and use more rooms. 09:30 - 11:00 Session 1 11:00 - 11:30 Tea Break 11:30 - 13:00 Session 1 continued. 13:00 - 14:00 Lunch Break 14:00 - 15:30 Session 2 15:30 - 16:00 Tea Break 16:00 - 17:30 Session 2 continued The advantage of the first one that we can limit ourselves to big auditoriums and don't have to worry about using small rooms and getting more projectors etc. Also, people will have option of choosing more tutorials.

I am asking because someone like hasgeek uses a per day model, but I have seen others have a per workshop rate as well. Also if you have a per day workshop model then it might be tough to limits the number of participants (Some workshops will be more popular than others). -- Vinayak -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Just make sure to publish the schedule and the selected workshops before opening the tickets to avoid conflicts and refunds (a management headache). Also asking workshop authors to publish Detailed abstracts / Intro videos / Slides must be a must so as to reduce reluctance to register. Especially if the speaker is not that well known in the community. -- Vinayak -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I would like the questions and answers to be reviewed. Also, suggest some FAQ questions that needs to be added. Q. Is it possible to cancel my tickets? A. Do you really want to cancel tickets? PyCon India happens once a year and we are eager to meet you and share ideas and collaborate. If indeed you want to cancel tickets, then the answer is Yes. All you need to do is send an email to tickets at in.pycon.org with the Order No. you received and the name of the attendee. Q. Do I need to register for Tutorials/Workshops separately? A. Yes. Q. I did not register for the Tutorials/Workshops when I bought the ticket. How do I add Tutorial option to my ticket now? A. Tutorial/Workshops ticket will be open by August 5th. You need to buy ticket at that time. We have limited per workshop 20 ticket so you need to book you tickets soon. Q. Can I register directly at the venue? A. Yes, you certainly can. However, we would recommend that you do it now as at venue registration will be Rs. 2000 for conference , if any workshop has ticket left you can buy ticket for workshop. And moreover, you may be in a loss as we can not guarantee t-shirts for at venue registrations. Q. I see registrations are closed. I have not registered. Can I still attend PyCon India ? A. Yes, you can. For details check above question. Q. Is there a prescribed format for the talk slides ? For example, can I upload the slides in PDF ? A. There is no suggested format for talk slides. You can upload in your favorite format whichever it is. It would be useful however if you stick to commonly used formats such as Word, Openoffice, PDF etc. Q. Is there any "official" presentation template for PyCon India ? A. We don't prescribe any template. You are free to use any kind of presentation template for your slides. Q. Can I present a different set of slides than the one I uploaded to the site? Should the one I present be exactly the same as the one uploaded? A. It would be good if the presentation you upload is the same as the one you present. However, if you need to make any small changes, it is okay as long as you make sure that the slides are not substantially different. Also it would be nice if you could sync the slide set to the site before you deliver your talk. If there is a substantial different between the two sets of slides, kindly inform the audience in advance. Q. How to upload presentations to the site ? A. We don't have support for presentation uploads yet. You can upload your presentation to a public site such as slideshare or google docs and copy/paste the URL into your talk's description Q. Where or How do i save the link to the external presentation site ? A. Postfix/Edit to the full URL of your talk after logging in to the site with the same userid that you used for submitting the talk. You should get a form with the required fields. Enter the required information and save. Q. I couldn't upload my slides for my talk to the site and need more time to do so. Does this affect the status of my talk ? A. The last dates for slides upload is more of a guideline than a strict deadline. It is advisable to keep it. Your talk status doesn't change even if you are unable to upload the slides before the deadline due to some reason. We however request you to try and upload the slides before the conference. Q. Do I need to inform the audience of any prior setup or can it be done during the talk or tutorial ? A. For tutorials, we suggest that you edit your talk description and add the steps required for the tutorial attendees to prepare their computers before they come to the session. This would ensure that you don't waste precious time in setting up requirements during the session. Q. Do you have Laptop charging sockets in the room for all? My laptop doesn't give more than an hour of backup. A. We will have limited laptop charging points in the rooms. But we will try to provide few tables with lots of charging points somewhere at the venue. Q. Is there an arrangement made for the Tutorial/Workshops and Conference videos Record/Live Streaming? A. We are video recording all the tutorials and talks. We will not be live streaming them. However, we will upload the videos within a week's time. Q. Is it possible to watch the videos live? A. Live watching will not be possible. However, we will upload the videos within a week's time. So, you can see it later at your convenience and as many times you wish. :) Q. Do you provide accommodation for participants from other cities? A. No. But we can assist you in finding the accommodation near the Venue. Check the answer to the question below for list of hotels Q. Do you have a list of hotels where I can stay? A. The list will be soon share by email and posted here. Q. What is the Food arrangement during the conference? A. We will be providing Lunch and Snacks during the 3 days of the conference. Snacks will include Tea/Coffee as well. Q. What to expect of the climate in Bangalore? What clothings should I bring? A. The weather in Bangalore is quite pleasant during the months August-September, with temperature in the range of 18-25 degree celsius. Though you can manage without any warm clothing, if you are sensitive to cold weather pack jacket or a sweater. Also during these months it usually rains so you can choose to carry an umbrella as well. Q. Will you provide any writing pads, pens, etc or do we need to bring them? A. The swag bag given for participants will include a writing pad, and pens. You are also welcome to bring your own if you want to. Q. Will I need to bring Laptop to attend tutorials? A. Most of the tutorials require that you write some demo code or run some application in a computer, so we advise you to bring your laptops. Any software setup required for a tutorial would be updated on the tutorial description a few days before the conference, so please install the required dependencies at your home, before you come to the conference. We suggest you don't wait to do this at the conference venue to save on time and reduce bandwidth rush. Q. My query has been answered, but I still have some doubts. Whom shall I contact? A. Check the answer below. Q. My query/question is not listed here. Whom shall I contact? A. We are sorry, if we missed some questions/information. Please send an email to contact at in.pycon.org. We will try to answer the query as soon as possible. Some question that needs an answer are: Q. How shall I reach NIMHANS Convention Centre? What are the Transport arrangements? Q. Does tutorial speakers need to register for tutorials? Q. I am a Speaker. Can you let me know the name of Volunteers whom I can contact for accomodation and other details? Q. Will the Internet and WiFi setup be good enough for the large crowd?

I would like the questions and answers to be reviewed. Also, suggest some FAQ questions that needs to be added. Q. Is it possible to cancel my tickets? A. Do you really want to cancel tickets? PyCon India happens once a year and we are eager to meet you and share ideas and collaborate. If indeed you want to cancel tickets, then the answer is Yes. All you need to do is send an email to tickets at in.pycon.org with the Order No. you received and the name of the attendee. Q. Do I need to register for Tutorials/Workshops separately? A. Yes. Q. I did not register for the Tutorials/Workshops when I bought the ticket. How do I add Tutorial option to my ticket now? A. Tutorial/Workshops ticket will be open by August 5th. You need to buy ticket at that time. We have limited per workshop 20 ticket so you need to book you tickets soon. Q. Can I register directly at the venue? A. Yes, you certainly can. However, we would recommend that you do it now as at venue registration will be Rs. 2000 for conference , if any workshop has ticket ?left you can buy ticket for workshop. And moreover, you may be in a loss as we can not guarantee t-shirts for at venue registrations. Q. I see registrations are closed. I have not registered. Can I still attend PyCon India ? A. Yes, you can. For details check above question. Q. Is there a prescribed format for the talk slides ? For example, can I upload the slides in PDF ? A. There is no suggested format for talk slides. You can upload in your favorite format whichever it is. It would be useful however if you stick to commonly used formats such as Word, Openoffice, PDF etc. Q. Is there any "official" presentation template for PyCon India ? A. We don't prescribe any template. You are free to use any kind of presentation template for your slides. Q. Can I present a different set of slides than the one I uploaded to the site? Should the one I present be exactly the same as the one uploaded? A. It would be good if the presentation you upload is the same as the one you present. However, if you need to make any small changes, it is okay as long as you make sure that the slides are not substantially different. Also it would be nice if you could sync the slide set to the site before you deliver your talk. If there is a substantial different between the two sets of slides, kindly inform the audience in advance. Q. How to upload presentations to the site ? A. We don't have support for presentation uploads yet. You can upload your presentation to a public site such as slideshare or google docs and copy/paste the URL into your talk's description Q. Where or How do i save the link to the external presentation site ? A. Postfix/Edit to the full URL of your talk after logging in to the site with the same userid that you used for submitting the talk. You should get a form with the required fields. Enter the required information and save. Q. I couldn't upload my slides for my talk to the site and need more time to do so. Does this affect the status of my talk ? A. The last dates for slides upload is more of a guideline than a strict deadline. It is advisable to keep it. Your talk status doesn't change even if you are unable to upload the slides before the deadline due to some reason. We however request you to try and upload the slides before the conference. Q. Do I need to inform the audience of any prior setup or can it be done during the talk or tutorial ? A. For tutorials, we suggest that you edit your talk description and add the steps required for the tutorial attendees to prepare their computers before they come to the session. This would ensure that you don't waste precious time in setting up requirements during the session. Q. Do you have Laptop charging sockets in the room for all? My laptop doesn't give more than an hour of backup. A. We will have limited laptop charging points in the rooms. But we will try to provide few tables with lots of charging points somewhere at the venue. Q. Is there an arrangement made for the Tutorial/Workshops and Conference videos Record/Live Streaming? A. We are video recording all the tutorials and talks. We will not be live streaming them. ?However, we will upload the videos within a week's time. ? Q. Is it possible to watch the videos live? A. Live watching will not be possible. However, we will upload the videos within a week's time. So, you can see it later at your convenience and as many times you wish. :) Q. Do you provide accommodation for participants from other cities? A. No. But we can assist you in finding the accommodation near the Venue. Check the answer to the question below for list of hotels Q. Do you have a list of hotels where I can stay? A. The list will be soon share by email and posted here. ? Q. What is the Food arrangement during the conference? A. We will be providing Lunch and Snacks during the 3 days of the conference. ?Snacks will include Tea/Coffee as well. Q. What to expect of the climate in Bangalore? What clothings should I bring? A. The weather in Bangalore is quite pleasant during the months August-September, with temperature in the range of 18-25 degree celsius. Though you can manage without any warm clothing, if you are sensitive to cold weather pack jacket or a sweater. Also during these months it usually rains so you can choose to carry an umbrella as well. Q. Will you provide any writing pads, pens, etc or do we need to bring them? A. The swag bag given for participants will include a writing pad, and pens. You are also welcome to bring your own if you want to. Q. Will I need to bring Laptop to attend tutorials? A. Most of the tutorials require that you write some demo code or run some application in a computer, so we advise you to bring your laptops. Any software setup required for a tutorial would be updated on the tutorial description a few days before the conference, so please install the required dependencies at your home, before you come to the conference. We suggest you don't wait to do this at the conference venue to save on time and reduce bandwidth rush. Q. My query has been answered, but I still have some doubts. Whom shall I contact? A. Check the answer below. Q. My query/question is not listed here. Whom shall I contact? A. We are sorry, if we missed some questions/information. Please send an email to contact at in.pycon.org.

I am only posting the changed ones. Let me know what you think. Q. Is it possible to cancel my tickets? A. Do you really want to cancel tickets? PyCon India happens once a year and we are eager to meet you and share ideas and collaborate. If you really do want to cancel your tickets, then all you need to do is send an email to tickets at in.pycon.org with the Order No. you received and the name of the attendee. "Q. I did not register for the Tutorials/Workshops when I bought the ticket. How do I add Tutorial option to my ticket now?" The question is a bit confusing. Since the person knows that he needs to pay for workshops and talks seperately from the previous question, I suggest the below question: Q. How/Where can I register for the workshops ? A. Workshop registrations will start by August 5th. We have limited per workshop 20 ticket so you'll have to book your tickets soon. Q. Can I register directly at the venue? A. Yes, you certainly can. However, we would recommend otherwise. At venue registrations cost Rs. 2000 and there is no guarantee as to the availability of tickets. Q. Is there a prescribed format for my talk slides ? A. There is no single format for talk slides. It would be useful however if you stick to commonly used formats such as Word, Openoffice, PDF etc. Q. Can I do changes to my slides after uploading them to the PyCon website ? A. It would be good if the presentation you upload is the same as the one you present. However, you're welcome to make any small changes and post the final updated slides on the site before delivering your talk. Q. How do I upload my presentation to the site ? A. You can upload your presentation to slideshare, speakerdeck or google docs and share the URL in your talk's description. Q. I was unable to upload my talk slides before the deadline. Does this affect the status of my talk ? A. No worries, your talk status won't change. We however request you to try and upload the slides before the conference. Q. Do I need to inform the audience of any prior setup or can it be done during the talk or tutorial ? A. It is recommended to provide this information beforehand, so that attendees can prepare their laptops before attending your session. This will also avoid wasting time in setting up requirements during the session. Q. Do you have Laptop charging sockets in every room ? My laptop doesn't give more than an hour of backup. A. There will be limited laptop charging points in the rooms, but we will try to provide a few tables with lots of charging points somewhere at the venue. Q. Will you be recording sessions and uploading them somewhere ? A. Yes we will. Q. Is it possible to watch the videos live? A. No, we do not have live streaming of the conference. Q. Do you provide accommodation for participants from other cities? A. No, but we can assist you in finding the accommodation near the Venue.Check the answer to the question below for list of hotels. Q. Will you be providing meals/snacks at the event ? A. Yes, we will be providing Lunch and Snacks during the 3 days of the conference. Q. What to expect of the climate in Bangalore? What clothings should I bring? A. The weather in Bangalore is quite pleasant during the months August-September, with temperature in the range of 18-25 degree celsius. Though you can manage without any warm clothing, if you are sensitive to cold weather, pack a jacket or a sweater. Also during these months it usually rains so you can choose to carry an umbrella as well. Q. Will you be providing any writing pads, pens, etc or do we need to bring them? A. The swag bag given for participants will include a writing pad and pen. You are also welcome to bring your own stuff. Q. Will I need to bring Laptop to attend tutorials? A. Most of the tutorials require that you write some demo code or run some application in your laptop, so it is advisable to carry them around. Any installations/setups required for a tutorial would be mentioned on the tutorial description a few days before the conference so that you can come prepared for the session.

I am new to this mailing list and I came to know that Pranjal has proposed an algorithmic code-sprint based on Python programming language. This is really a fantastic idea and it will only help in making Python more popular among students and colleges. Such online programming competitions has the added advantage that they are not localized and can be accessed by people all over the world, which makes them even more fascinating. HackerEarth is quite popular among students in colleges for the programming competitions. Mainly we help companies to conduct open programming challenges to find talents distributed across the country. Recently InMobi gave job offers to 7 students directly through a programming challenge [2]. However, students and colleges use HackerEarth platform for hosting their own competitions. This is used by most of the IITs and NITs currently, e.g. IIT Guwahati, IIT Ropar, IIT Mandi, BITS Pilani, DAIICT, NIT Warangal, NIT Surathkal, etc. and they have hosted more than 50 online competitions in just last six months. So I propose that PyCode 2013 (name suggested by Pranjal) can be very efficiently hosted on HackerEarth without any constraints. The native audience is very large, so the contest can be easily made popular. Answering the Kiran's question that How can we organize the contest with all the talks going on - I think this will be separate from the main event. PyCon India will have to just spread the word that there is a Python specific programming contest being conducted online. This will mainly attract the students and those who are interested in solving algorithmic problems. We will happy to share the result of the programming contest with the Python community and build further relations. As far as I know, there has not been any such Python specific programming contest till now in India, and this will certainly help us to gauge how popular is Python in colleges among students apart from the open-source popularity. We do have some metrics which you seen here [3] and here [4]. We at HackerEarth also use Python/Django as the primary backend and have built some cool technology to handle the application, infrastructure and scaling issues. We have already processed over 300,000 code-checker requests in last 6 months. We are a team of 8 incredibly talented people [5]. You can check out our engineering blog here [6]. We are all attending PyCon India 2013. Let me know how we can take this forward. Looking forward to an exciting Python programming contest!

For others, if they are so much interested in Python, why not sponsor PyCon India? The sponsorship won't cost more than how much they pay for hiring firms.

My reasons are that programming contests encourage "badge collection" (or certificate collection to bolster resumes) rather than real learning/contributions to the community which is what PyCon 2013 should encourage.

Not only are his technical capabilities excellent, he is very involved in helping people contribute to open source packages, very personable and helpful. I sent another email to the list, about Kenneth Reitz. Just one additional thought - I dont understand this "guest speaker" concept. People dont feel compelled to travel continents, unless they are welcomed well enough. I think we should call them all "keynote speakers" and increase the number of keynotes to accomodate all international speakers of calibre. It could be a closing keynote or a morning keynote, on either days. We don't have to bear their travel expenses, the least we can do is to make them feel completely welcome.

Everything is good as sideshows to the main conference, but the focus of the main conference should not be lost among all the noise. The conference is not yet ready to be in format of a mix of multiple independent events IMHO.

A few cosmetic changes. PYTHON MONTH PyCon India, the premier conference in India on using and developing the Python programming language is conducted annually by the Python developer community and it attracts the best Python programmers from across the country and abroad. This year, PyCon India is celebrating the month of August as Python Month, with the aim of increasing the awareness and awesomeness of Python programming language within the student community in India. WHAT IS PYTHON: Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for a diverse area of software development. It o?ers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learnt in a few days. Many Python programmers report substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the development of more maintainable code of higher quality. Some of the biggest names in the industry like Mozilla, Google, YouTube, Dropbox, SurveyMonkey, Bitly and numerous others also use Python for providing the services a lot of users are familiar with. Because Python is very easy to learn and at the same time very powerful, it is used as the first programming language in introductory courses of Computer Science in many universities and high schools. In India, Kerala state and CBSE have already adopted Python in their school syllabus. HOW YOU CAN HELP Python month will be organized and completely run by volunteers, anyone who wants to participate is welcome and all help is appreciated. This is a big task to handle and therefore requires lot of volunteer support. Here is how you can help. 1. If you are a Python programmer and please give a talk / workshop at a college in your city. 2. If you are a professor or student, please facilitate the a workshop in your college 3. Help us in coordinating Python Month by talking to colleges to arrange workshops. Interested? Please sign up here - http://bit.ly/pythonmonth Have any questions or suggestions?

The conference attracts the best Python programmers across the country and abroad. This year, PyCon India is celebrating the month of August as Python Month, with aim of increasing the awareness and awesomeness of Python Programming Language within the student community in India. WHAT IS PYTHON: Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for a diverse area of software development. It o?ers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learnt in a few days. Many Python programmers report substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the development of higher quality, more maintainable code. Some of the biggest names in the industry like Mozilla, Google, YouTube,Dropbox, SurveyMonkey, Bitly and numerous others also use Python for providing the services a lot of users are familiar with. Because Python is very easy to learn and at the same time very powerful, it is used as the first programming language in introductory courses of Computer Science in many universities and high schools. In India, Kerala state and CBSE have already adopted Python in their school syllabus. HOW YOU CAN HELP Python month will be organized and completely run by volunteers, anyone who wants to participate is welcome and all help is appreciated. This is a big task to handle and therefore requires lot of volunteer support. Here is how you can help. 1. If you are a Python programmer and please give a talk / workshop at a college in your city. 2. If you are a professor or student, please facilitate the a workshop in your college. 3. Help us in coordinating Python Month by talking to colleges to arrange workshops. Interested? Please sign up here - http://bit.ly/pythonmonth Have any questions or suggestions?

While chatting up with Anand & Vijay at The Fifth Elephant, we were discussing about the photography for PyCon. I was clicking around last year at PyConIndia and have been doing so at various other events. I have added a few albums here: http://bitly.com/bundles/imba/1 I am definitely going to be hopping around with a camera this time around as well. Though, I have a very basic entry-level DSLR. So, I was wondering if I can get help from here to rent equipment from tapprs (http://tapprs.com). That will let me capture the event with possibly better flexibility, as better equipment will remove a few technical constraints. And hence, get tad bit better pictures. -- Mitesh Ashar Sent with Sparrow (http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I think it is important for someone to take care of that. If it costs us around 5-10K, we should go for it. Mitesh, do you have an idea how much it'll cost?

IIRC, print express does print stickers. We just need to call them and ask for price. Logo is available at http://www.python.org/community/logos/. I prefer printing just the logo without the text Python. If it can be cut around the logo, it'll be awesome. Like this: http://ih3.redbubble.net/image.12272318.0266/sticker,375x360.u1.png If that is not possible, trimming the corners to make it into a rounded-rect is also fine.

Most of them will be first time speakers, so giving an outline and dos and don'ts will be useful. One thing I would like to have is a 5-minute presentation on "Why Python?", explaining what is Python, who uses that and why should someone learn python. If we start the workshop with this, it'll make the students excited to learn Python, instead of thinking that Python is toy a scripting language. Anyone would like to volunteer to prepare that presentation? I'm planning to call a speaker meeting on Saturday to have a discussion with all the speakers who've registered with Python Month in Bangalore and go over the guidelines that we form here, discuss in detail about how to do the workshop. Coming back to guidelines: What should be covered in the introduction to Python workshop: * Intro to python * if condition, for loop, functions * lists, tuples, sets, dicts * list comprehensions * importing python modules * brief tour of standard library * writing classes (optional) I don't think it is good idea to get into installing third-party modules in a one-day workshop.

It's best to let them get a good feel for the language first. I'm planning on discussing how I solve some daily small problems I encounter, using Python. It will connect with the audience and IMO, it's the best way to make them feel the ease of expressing one's thoughts in python code.

Got caught up in work, and kept coming up with issues in trying to get the new site set up. I think that most of the issues in the link that you refer to are regressions from past work, and I think that I can quickly fix them. I tried the new instructions. Everything goes fine, except that I am not clear on where to get LASTUSER_CLIENT_ID and LASTUSER_CLIENT_SECRET. Do I need to register a new app at https://auth.hasgeek.com/apps/new ? That seems to require a public-facing site for the OAuth2 Redirect URL. While I can do this, it is not clear to me what the redirect URL needs to handle. Using the LASTUSER_CLIENT_ID and LASTUSER_CLIENT_SECRET from pyconindia2012/eventframe-settings.py redirects to http://anandology.com:8080/login/redirect?state=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&error_description=Redirect+URI+hostname+doesn%27t+match&error=invalid_request which presumably is because the app redirect URI does not match the one registered with HasGeek.

It could be tested by merging the changes into a copy of the master branch if required.

One small thing that I needed to double-check with you as I am not all that familiar with git and what forking on Github does: 1. Your instructions call for cloning the branch "new-design" from git://github.com/pythonindia/pyconindia2012.git 2. I presume that for working on the code, one should fork git://github.com/pythonindia/pyconindia2012.git , clone the forked repo locally, push upstream to the forked repo when done, and then issue a pull request. I forked the master repo via the Github toolbar, but in my forked repo I did not see the "new-design" branch. 3. I then added the original repo as a remote to the local copy of my forked repo, and pulled from the new-design branch, viz., git remote add upstream https://github.com/pythonindia/pyconindia2012.git git pull upstream new-design 4. I believe that this leaves the master in my forked repo in sync with the "new-design" branch of the original repo, and I can then issue a pull request from there. Could you please confirm?

Minutes: * There was a discussion that we should put our efforts to increase the impart of workshops than the number of workshops that we conduct. Couple of suggestions that came out were: - coding contest - why stop at this month, why not continue doing this in long term - engage students for longer term - instead of doing just intro to Python workshops, build practical systems as part of workshops. Couple of suggestions were: - simple recommendation system like amazon - GUI systems - blog engine - web scrapping - games - sudoku solver - engage non-cs students by teaching scipy and other tools. - While it is hard to find scipy and other tools for other non-cs students, it'll have to be done by each instructor. The suggestion was to have volunteers to suggest content that speakers can use. - Srinivas, Ashish and Kamal (? did he?) expressed interest to volunteer for this * One suggestion to sign up more colleges is to ask people to go back to the college where they have studied and do a python workshop. * One important thing that we should be careful about is that the colleges are not charging the students for this workshop. It'll be nice to mention that when we start taking to the college. * For each speaker to reuse, we need the following: - Intro to Python Slides. Elvis volunteered. Anand to provide bullet points. - links for further reading. Elvis volunteered - a blot post about how to configure x (put your favorite here) editor for Python. Ravi volunteered. List of editors: - IDLE - Notepad++ - Sublime text - edit+ - pywin - gvim (anand to provide config) - emacs (will ask noufal for help) * Ashish and Prashanth volunteered to expore how good IPython is on windows and if we can suggest all speakers to use that. * Vijay suggested that it'll be useful to have a volunteer to support the speaker at each workshop. * For each workshop, we should make it clear that the following are prerequisites. - Install Python 2.7 - Setup your editor (will share a link once it is ready) * Suggested things to cover in one-day workshop. - 5 Minute introduction to Python slides - Hello world (in interpreter and as script) - numbers, strings and assignments - conditional statements - functions & methods - Lists - For loop - List operations [Approximate break for lunch] - List comprehensions - String Operations - Working with Files - Modules - time - os, sys - urllib - dictionaries - resources for further reading -- Anand http://anandology.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

To motivate students, it is very necessary to discuss " Why python ? " . We need to prepare content for this. 2. Introduce them to various community resources, and helping hand which they can start using to adapt to Python after the workshop too. Like open-source projects, mailing lists, etc. 3. As we are approaching August, time is too less for content so we need to prepare it ASAP. For the PythonMonth in NCR region, we are planning to have the first workshop on 2ndAugst at IIC(South Campus). We need to be content ready before that. *For the IPython question* : IPython surely is one of the best ways to deliver a workshop, and sharing that becomes easy.I have personally used IPython both on Windows and Linux. For windows I used : Anaconda installer from Continuum Analytics( https://store.continuum.io/ ) . It comes with wide variety of packages( http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/pkgs.html) in the installer.
