[Inpycon] [Proposal] Development sprint parallel to main conference

[Mitesh Ashar]

-1

Pycon India being a conference, alike all conferences, amongst other
things provides one with the opportunity to discover new things, learn from
the experiences of others, and look at alternate ways of achieving the same
solutions. 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.
