Hi,

I think it is time to think about keynote speakers. Anand Pillai is
attending US PyCon, I hope he'll be abe to speak to potential keynote
speakers there if we decide whom to invite.

Anybody else from bangpypers attending US PyCon?

Whom should we invite? How many keynote speakers should we have? 2 or 4?
Anyone from India?

Please share your inputs?

Anand

I know that there are a couple of more people who are going to be attending
PyCon US:

   - Kushal Das
   - Konark Modi
   - Adwait Sharma

As for keynote speakers, here are a few suggestions:

   - Armin Ronacher (http://lucumr.pocoo.org/about/)
   - Kenneth Reitz (http://kennethreitz.org/)
   - Jeff Lindsay (http://progrium.com/)
   - David Beazley (http://www.dabeaz.com/)

Yes, I took all the famous names. But, I will also die to attend the
conference if any of these guys are speaking.

Not more than 2 (assuming a two day conference). We can publicise a
little in other parts of the world and encourage people to submit
talks. But specifically keynote speakers, just 2. 

I'd like to get Armin Ronacher this year (for a tech. related talk) and
one person who's more into the PSF/community side of things. Steve
Holden and Van Lindberg come to mind. 

I don't know any Indian Python luminaries. The kind of people that an
audience would pay money to watch but I'd love to be proven wrong on
this. I'd much prefer an Indian keynote speaker.

Hi all,

 Myself and Ramki met with around 8-10 companies and
shared contact details while we were at PyCon U.S. Many of
them are potential sponsors and likely supporters.

Will send more details in next few days. Those who are handling
sponsorship directly please raise your hand and let me now.

Please have a look at it and let us know if anything is missing.

Changes from last year are:
* sponsorship slabs are raised

Can we have better differentiation between Platinum and Gold? Probably
allow inserts in welcome kit given to every participant?

Subject: [Inpycon] CoC and PSF support
Message-ID: <874ng49c7f.fsf@sanitarium.localdomain>



Hello everyone, 
        This is probably a touchy subject but I think it need to be
aired. 

        The PSF earlier announced that it requires a code of conduct at
all sponsored events[1]. We've been recepients of PSF money and support
which has helped PyCon India substantially.

        At the recent PyCon, there was an incident that was a little
disturbing and not something that I like. I'm not pointing fingers at
anyone but the whole thing shouldn't have happened[2]. The gist of it is
that someone who heard overheard some jokes being cracked by two
participants of the event interpreted them to be sexual and
inappropriate. She tweeted the pictures of the two men who were making
the jokes and the matter was looked at the PSF and resolved. So far so
good. However, it seems, and please remember that this *is* the
internet, the act of putting pictures of the people on twitter (which is
not how the PSFs policy works - they're against the public shaming
thing) resulted in one of the two men, a father incidentally, losing his
job. This was unfortunate. 

        I'd definitely like to see these kinds of events become more
women friendly. The last barcamp in Bangalore had a string of tweets
that were quite distasteful. As someone who was taking my daughter to
the event, you can guess how I felt. The CoC is a general right step in
that direction but the kinds of events I've mentioned above are
disturbing. 

        The reason for this email is to start a discussion on whether we
should adopt such a CoC, whether we should reword it to handle such
situations and related discussions. I'm personally undecided but am
brooding over the matter.

        What do you all feel? 

Thanks.

Along with the number of attendees, it might be a good idea to give them
breakdowns (e.g. % of students etc.). That allows sponsors to target
specific audiences.

Message-ID: <CAMJTfgk9O1JGn9ay2pXYptueYv191mjCg7Zmp0xc32bdrmCetw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,
Seeing the success of the young coders workshop in the US Pycon 2013, I am
tempted to suggest that we should have a similar event at our Pycon too.

I think of something like this:
If we are having 3 parallel tracks, keep one as the dedicated track. This
track will have events targeted at specific groups. For example, let
saturday be young coders day, Sunday be pyladies day etc.

Having a dedicated day or events will attract more people and enthusiasm
than similar events spread across the three days. I also feel that these
dedicated events should be on the conf days as we may not be able to
attract large audience on friday.

If we are having young coders session, we can notify all possible schools
to send their preferred students and we can give them certificates of
participation.

We need to plan in advance..

Regards,
Abdul Muneer

What was the process followed in identifying the participants at the
young coders session you mention?

We can send notifications to schools and each school can nominate 2-3
students (or any other fixed number), much like inviting participants for
inter school quiz competition etc. We communicate with schools and get
response from them. The school may notify among its students and choose
among the interested students.
The idea is to get a rough estimate of participants. If we just announce
across schools but don't delegate students selection to them, we may not be
able to get a count of participants.
We will get a better participation if the schools find this interesting and
prestigious event for their students.

Abdul Muneer

Looking at <https://us.pycon.org/2013/events/letslearnpython/> it
seems to focus on kids who are " 12 years old or over" to participate
in order to "explore how to program using Python by making games. We
will start with learning Python's simple data types, including
numbers, letters and strings, and lists. We will also explore
comparisons, if-statements, and loops. Finally, we will combined our
new knowledge by creating our own game using the PyGame library."

In terms of the hardware infrastructure - "We will provide monitors,
keyboards, and Raspberry Piswith Python + PyGame on it. For every
student, we will also give a copie of No Starch Press' Python For Kids
and Hello World! Computer Programming for Kids and Other Beginners, an
excellent resource for young coders learning Python."

As a long standing annual event with global attention and importance among
python enthusiasts, and also as an event run by a well governed foundation,
I think we should have a clear CoC for Pycon India.
No CoC will exactly make up for any lack of character from a participant,
but it is a plan-B.

I'm not sure if it a good idea. PyCon India is a conference for python
developers. I don't think we should reduce the standard of talks to attract
students. Even if we have a small session for students, I don't think we
should  give any certificates. IMHO certificates are meaningless. They try
to promote the wrong message that getting more certificates like these is
somehow valuable to them and their career.

Honestly, I feel most of the school students in Bangalore will not even
have a clue about Python. Raising awareness of Python might be a good idea,
but not at PyCon India.

This might be a good thing to do if we were running PyCon India in Kerala.
There Python is part of the school curriculum. May be in coming years?

I think we should adopt the CoC and announce in a blog post that we
encourage diversity and blah blah.

PSF recently amended their CoC.

https://github.com/python/pycon-code-of-conduct/commit/500a3d25c27065598002f7c999de3fdfb7ab18b1

I think it is important to people to inform about the CoC and instruct them
to respect privacy of others.

Only students who get along with faculty might get nominated. So, you
will need a way to let really "interested" students in.

What students take away from the conference, and what they bring back
to the conference in subsequent years is more important than just
participation.

Adopting and implementing the Code of Conduct does mean that the
process to handle complaints which violate the CoC would need to be
set up and widely published. A CoC is not necessarily a general set of
guidelines available via a URL on the event micro-site.

Yes. We need to have couple of trained volunteers who know who can handle
such cases.

Hello,


IMHO, on the Contact Information page the email address, contact at in.pycon.org
repeating below the names is a little confusing.

Can we have the email address first and then the names and phone numbers below it?

Thank you,
Bhargav.

I feel we don't need to so much specific.

Any ways if we decide to do add this,  do we have information on number of
student  registered ?

Folks, this is important. We have such incidents in India too, we just
don't notice them.

For example, at Meta Refresh during the lightning talks (which weren't
pre-screened), one of the speakers used pictures of two bollywood actresses
to describe two approaches to software development.

The pictures themselves were regular glamour portrait shots, not
sexualized, but the speaker turned these two women into objects where you
could choose one and discard the other based on what you were able to
afford. His examples got the audience to laugh, but I know some women left
the hall in disgust and afterwards I received complaints from both men and
women.

What is noteworthy is that (a) the speaker's wife was in the audience, (b)
the speaker was possibly unaware that there was a problem with his
examples, and (c) most important, he had given the same talk at a user
group meeting a few weeks before, where once again nobody told him there
was a problem.

How did this speaker manage to be offensive without anyone pointing it out
to him? For multiple reasons:

1. For me, as the organizer, the organizer's code of conduct says if
someone has been granted a stage, they have to be allowed to say their
piece. They can't be yanked off stage. Consequences come afterwards.

2. For the audience that let out a nervous laugh, they knew the joke was
off-colour, but they couldn't pinpoint why. Sexualization is easy to spot.
Objectification is not.

3. The speaker's wife, herself, presumably did not notice anything amiss.
I'm not aware of her situation, so this could be for a variety of reasons.

4. For women in the audience who were disgusted, presumably no one wanted
to bring attention to themselves by raising their voice.

5. A man in the audience brought this up during the feedback session (he
had complained to me earlier), but requested that the cameras be turned off
before he spoke up, and remained vague about what the problem was,
presumably because he did not want conflict with the speaker (who was still
in the audience).

6. In all this melee, *no one* informed the speaker that his material was
inappropriate, and for all we know he will do it again the next time he's
on stage.

This is why it's important to not just have a code of conduct but to ensure
that it is widely read and understood. Every single volunteer should have a
thorough briefing on how to respond when a situation arises.

The PyCon US code of conduct is a great reference document and I'm very
impressed with the way PyCon handled the situation.

Can we get together for a short meeting on IRC on Freenode at 1900 on
Monday (25/March)? The channel is #pythonindia (Anand, If there are any
changes, please post back to this thread).

Let's get the PyCon ball rolling. We've just discussed stuff. The agenda
is draw out a list of things to be done, assign people and timelines and
get the whole thing moving. 

Thanks.

+1. Adopting the CoC is just a first step. Publishing it widely and
educating
the attendees is another. Reporting violations/enforcing is entirely another
matter, especially in India, where gender sensitivities are not very much
enforced in public life and is more or less left to the value systems of
people.

Let us try and do the first 2 steps at least this year. IMHO, such things
cannot really be "policed", but are better done through awareness and
education.

We shouldn't also just adopt the PyCon CoC in its entirety, but go through
it and adopt a gist of it and modify wherever culture sensitivities change
things
for us.

20-30 years - 79%
30-40 years - 9%
40+ - 8%

Average Age: 25 years

Prefession:

Student - 23%
Software Developer - 59%
VP/CTO/CEO - 5%

Other - 12%

Years of Python experience:

0 years - 14%
1 year - 28%
2 years - 24%
3 years - 16%
4 years - 6%
more than 4 years - 10%

Can someone please add these to the sponsorship prospectus as pie-charts?

Yes. Sponsors are interested to know their audience. IIRC, there were
couple of such requests last year.

If you think it is not appropriate to include in the sponsorship
prospectus, we can write a blog post and add add it as link to
sponsorship prospectus.

That makes a lot of sense. Software developers want to pick up
new skills  and Managers don't give a shit as long as the devs get it.

Hi,

      Just a thought. Alex Gaynor is an up and coming Python core
developer and emerging star. He is core dev at Python, Django,
PyPy (you name it).  He is also young, very much so :)

     Might be a good idea to invite him - he would set a good example
for college kids wanting to do good in Python - a good role model.

    I could have talked to him while I was there. Anyway, Ramki is
still in the U.S so we can still get this done.

Regards,

--Anand

+1 .

Had an opportunity to meet him during the sprints at US Pycon this year.

Really is very motivated and passionate about his work.

Correctly said, would be a good role model.

Steve Holden also might be able to come down based on availability.  I
had a small chat with him regarding the same. His only issue was
Djangocon 2013.

He's an excellent hacker but I'm not sure about a keynote presentation
by him for a predominantly non American audience.

I'd love for him to come down but as a second rather than a primary
keynote speaker.

It would be great to have Van Lindberg or Steve Holden come down. But they
may not be available. David Beazly said he is strongly avoiding long
international trips.

Good to have chats with more people. I'd also like to suggest: Ned
Batchelder.

That is a plus in favor of young folks like Alex, right ?
I am sure he can make the trip in a jaunt :)

No dis-respect intended, but I think Van and Steve represent the
older generation. I am not too excited about inviting any of them.

Well, I dont want to push the point too firmly, but I strongly believe
we need to prefer the younger bunch over rather than the older
generation -The Armins, Alexs and Maciejs of the Python world.

My previous wording wasn't clear I guess. They (above) are the younger
generation

I'm in favour of getting 2 people (atleast). One who can speak from a
PSF non-tech perspective and the other who can do something hardcore
technical to raise the bar a little.

Hello everyone,

I'm very happy announce that Kiran Jonnalagadda will be one of the keynote
speakers for PyCon India 2013.

Kiran needs no introduction. Most people in the group know him in person.

Kiran is a long time Pythonista. He has been a very active member of Python
community in India since very long time. Kiran is the founder of HasGeek, a
company that runs tech conferences and creates discussion spaces for geeks.
Apart from running events, HasGeek builds great open source software. PyCon
India 2012 website is running on software written by them.

I'm excited that Kiran agreed to be our keynote speaker. This year's
conference promises to be very exciting!

Anand

+1 for inviting someone from  PyPy Gang.

How about making Python implementations a major theme of our conference?

I know an interesting project of implementing Python in Racket.

https://github.com/brownplt/lambda-py

(disclaimer: I've contributed in a small way to that project)

We can see if we can get one of the key devs of the project to come and
give a talk here.

 Joe Gibbs Politz is leading the project. I think is a student/postdoc of
brown.

Other key developers are Alejandro Martinez, Matthew Milano and Sumner
Warren.

And of course, Sriram Krishnamurthi is overseeing the project.

 For those of you unaware of lambda-py and the cs173 course:

lambda-py is a project to build simple core language for Python based on
Racket. This also includes a translation process that translates Python
code into this core. With that we'll be able to reason about semantics of
Python programs better. We'll be able to build better refactoring tools and
other code transformations etc.

How about getting 4 keynote speakers in total?

* David Beazly to talk about GIL
* someone from PyPy team
* Sriram Krishnamurty to talk about lambda-py

With this we'll set the theme of the conference as Python implementations.
I think this also raises the quality of expectation of the talks that we
get.

If you think we can 4 keynotes is too much, then:

* someone from PyPy team as keynote
* invited talk by Sriram/Joe to talk about lambda-py

What do you think?

How about getting 4 keynote speakers in total?

* David Beazly to talk about GIL
* someone from PyPy team?
* Sriram Krishnamurty to talk about lambda-py

With this we'll set the theme of the conference as Python implementations. I think this also raises the quality of expectation of the talks that we get.

If you think we can 4 keynotes is too much, then:

* someone from PyPy team as keynote
* invited talk by Sriram/Joe to talk about lambda-py

What do you think?

+1. Let us not dilute the keynote weight.

2 keynote plus 1-2 solid invited speakers  seems about right.

I would think 4 "keynotes" are a bit too much. A keynote speech is
expected to underline the theme and, set the framework for the agenda.
In a way, it is both an introduction and, an explanation of the
rationale behind the agenda.

2 keynotes could work fine in setting up two different but parallel
agenda/tracks. 4 is a bit of too many cooks ...

This is a much better alternative.

Message-ID: <CACavVu21wN4ryrO8bnirOTUAsomwmBRYG_368GA19kQYmGRnmQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

We have been talking about encouraging women to join PyCon and start
working on python. Why not take a step towards it? How about we decrease
ticket price to some amount or maybe waive it totally for them?

This could bring some questions like how'd we know that the ones joining
are bringing some value to the conference. Well, if more women are
attending, that's already a plus. To ensure even more, we could start a
program, like, ask them to create a github account, create 2-5 repo, show
us and they get a free ticker. Sounds odd and silly, but this will also
encourage them to start using git or any VCS. And this also shows us that
those participants actually made some effort to join the conference. They
are not just drove by the offer of freebies.

I haven't seen many girls take up the initiative to become a developer,
only couple of my college friends did. They have no one to encourage them
in becoming developers. So to do that, we might have to put some extra
manual effort. But it should be overall good for the community.

PS: Should have put the gender field in last year's feedback form. Could
get a statistic. This year will definitely do it.

I'm not sure if decreasing ticket prices is sending the right
message. It's kind of condescending. I've always thought that the idea
is equality in the domain rather than special treatment.

However, initiatives like what the pyladies group does are useful. I'm
just not sure how to go about this. It would be nice if there were a few
active female members in the organiser group.

Umm... I am kind of taking offence at this. If we girls want to attend, we
can pay too. The only way to increase the female attendees is to go pitch a
demo of python at a girls only college.

I remember that girls from my college had a tendency to 'flock' and if a
few key people go, I am sure the rest would too. Secondly accommodation for
outstation girls. It may also be just a room at the girls hostel for 4
girls at a time, but even as a girl developer staying was my first
challenge.

Another challenge is transportation. If you talk in the college to give
their transportation to and fro after the evening time with drop off at key
places in the city, I think it would personally help.

I personally remember my mother being all anxious to let me attend
conferences that are in different cities or requiring a travel in the
evenings. I had to find some good male community member support to travel
'with him' after telling about him to my mother and assuring I was not
alone.

Anyway, this was my two pieces of personal experience wishlist items.

Best,
Priya

Hi All,

+ with Bibhas that decreasing prices is not a good option.

As I've seen women participation quite good specially in other forums like
Management forums and if we at Pycon want to encourage more participation,
the better way is to

#start the ad-campaign quite and see that the poster / site banner
represents(shows) images of all genders
# send emails/ lists both to colleges and companies;
# encourage presentations;

Thanks,
Christopher

Sorry, but I didn't mean any offence. The sole reason behind this proposal
was that I want to have more female developers to join PyCon, and have
faced couple of friends who said that cost is an issue for them because
they are from other cities. I always encourage my friends to join
conferences like this, and have faced the same argument more than once. I
know it's not a good option, but it's a starting point to think how we can
go about it. Because now we have some feedback on why it won't work. Let's
get more views on what will work.
Maybe other members of this list who are more experienced will be able to
share their views.
