Tentative plan will be (19-21)/(26-28) ?of September > 2014 depending on?availability.? Some of the issues with NIMHANS are 1. Hall sizes are very different. We'd have to predict which talks will be popular and schedule them accordingly. 2. No good places for workshops. We need a classroom style place to do a tutorial. We *might* be able to schedule the workshops at a separate venue like TERI. This came up during the AGM but was voted against by most people (including me). I'm less tired and therefore less sure now. Sree had some suggestions about alternate venues mostly hotels. Kiran has mentioned how hotel chairs are really poor for long hours and so not ideal for a conference. This might be something worth considering. In any case, once the venue is decided, we should make some plans about areas to conduct various things and flow of the crowd. Not arbitrarily decide on locations. Some of the places in the venue were very much undertilised because of this.

It has an excellent professional touch to it. I believe it is INR 8000 per day for the hall. We will have to take Internet connection separately. However, I have been doing workshops there and I know the contact people for getting it done. The only problem is that workshops will be at a different venue than the main conference. However, I don't see any obvious problems with that.

We need that time to setup things and fix stuff that fail (as they do always). I agree that the big auditorium is too big for workshops. We can consider using some rooms in the first floor rooms as Vijay suggested. Anand -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If we take Oct 10-12 as option ?i might not be able to help much . For?Dussara?(oct-03-05) ?everyone will be out of station to celebrate so not sure how much help volunteer can do to run the show. For Oct 17-18 it just 5 days before diwali so that not good idea. I still think Sep 26-28 is right date as its just take 2 days of navarathi which might not be major problem. Please let decide date soon as we need to check availability of NIHAMS and do advance payment to move forward.

We usually start working couple of months before the event. We have enough time to break that habit and start planning early. If we stick to our plan of getting the website up by December end and CFP in a month or two after that, we should be in a position to do the event in August. While I don't have objections to Sep 26-28, I strongly suggest to make sure all the volunteers who did the hard work this year are comfortable with these days.

I think we should plan to get the CFP out by this year as much as possible. The moment we push it to Jan it has a tendency to leapfrog into May and June - speaking from past PyCons. Let us discuss the items to get the CFP out ASAP - that is very important to push up the quality of talks for next year. I suggest to open a thread to discuss the sub-tasks involved in getting CFP out by Dec. > > While I don't have objections to Sep 26-28, I strongly suggest to > make sure all the volunteers who did the hard work this year are > comfortable with these days. > +1 I think we should make a call for early conference than later.

If we can get one small room for rent/lease, we can use it as a place to store things. May be we can use the same as an office address, if required. -- Baiju M From hiddenharmony at gmail.com Thu Oct 10 06:57:25 2013 From: hiddenharmony at gmail.com (Vivek Khurana) Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2013 10:27:25 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] Hasgeek dependency (was: Venue for PyCon India 2014) In-Reply-To: <87k3hlk9zb.fsf_-_@sanitarium.localdomain> References: <1380690602.45950.YahooMailNeo@web192204.mail.sg3.yahoo.com> <1381120545.30084.YahooMailNeo@web192203.mail.sg3.yahoo.com> <1381121237.26993.YahooMailNeo@web192206.mail.sg3.yahoo.com> <1381128544.72857.YahooMailNeo@web192204.mail.sg3.yahoo.com> <87fvsdsgqq.fsf@sanitarium.localdomain> <52526DD9.7030304@letterboxes.org> <1381292592.62084.YahooMailNeo@web192204.mail.sg3.yahoo.com> <1381299320.45385.YahooMailNeo@web192202.mail.sg3.yahoo.com> <1381323168.93431.YahooMailNeo@web192201.mail.sg3.yahoo.com> <1381332944.99935.YahooMailNeo@web192202.mail.sg3.yahoo.com> <87k3hlk9zb.fsf_-_@sanitarium.localdomain> Message-ID: Well for number 2 (Wifi) we can arrange for donations.

If we can start planning now for next year, we would be able to commit to finishing things. I agree that 1 and 2 should be done by someone with proven design skills. If we cannot find such a volunteer, and the resources are available, it makes sense to hire a professional designer. Anand, while I think that you should be the one taking major decisions for the site, I would advocate moving to a CMS-based site, with HasGeek's funnel. My choice would be django and feincms, but that is open to debate. For future years, I strongly feel that all the work that should be needed should be content population, and restyling.

I think what I did could've been split and done by multiple people, but couldn't do it because of last minute. If we plan well, we'll be able to manage that this year. But I still think the designing has to be done by a one person who understands the design. > Anand, while I think that you should be the one taking > major decisions for the site, I would advocate moving > to a CMS-based site, with HasGeek's funnel.

EventFrame is the opensource software that we used, which is again written in Python. It can have multiple pages and those pages can be edited by admins. I think what we lack is good editors. People who can think about how to organize content and write well. I'm fine with trying out new CMS, if it is considerably better. If not we can stick to what we have now.

It is hard to clone a repo, add an image, commit and send pull request when you are in time crisis. Ability to edit and add pages quickly is very useful.

Yes, I am aware that eventframe functions like a rudimentary CMS but IMHO: (a) There is just too much work involved in cloning the repo, configuring and setting things up. Once a CMS is set up, all work can be done through the admin back-end. (b) The CMS is far from where it can be comfortably used by non-technical people. Agreed with you that we need good editors. Technical people are typically bad at writing content, and we should get to a level where someone can contribute content with as little difficulty as possible. > I'm fine with trying out new CMS, if it is considerably better.

A CMS is useful for getting non-technical people involved in writing content: Witness the popularity of Wordpress for blogging. IMHO, the technical barrier to developing content should be as low as possible. Also, CMS pages can be aggressively cached so that they function essentially as static content so that I do not see the argument there.

Also, as I've learnt during my work, there are a few different styles of designers and those are some of those conflict with what people would expect. E.g. I got a person whose design style is minimalist, it didn't go too well with my team who expected more colourful and visual style. It's also important to go with ones who go ahead and understand the idea behind the website and PyCon as a whole. I guess which is why Vijay would be favouring volunteers. If we do consider getting professionals involved and Kiran doesn't want to take up this part, I can volunteer with this task.

Whether it's a volunteer doing it or a design firm or an individual designer the design should be top notch. If we do take the process of getting volunteers to do it someones got to look at their previous work if any, engage with them, look at the final product and decide. I believe it increase the work, now vijay/anand or whomsoever is doing this work is willing to put in the efforts then it worth while.

I've seen that idea repeatedly fail. Forget about design, I called for help to improve the PyCon India website, created github issues detailing each one, but haven't got much response. Usually there'll be initial enthusiasm, but that dies out slowly. Even if we take a professional help, there is a lot of volunteer work involved in reviewing the design as it evolves, giving feedback, suggesting alternatives etc. And someone from our side has to drive the whole thing. Believe it is a lot of work even if we hire a professional designer. We also need volunteers to: * integrate the design into our website, writing code/templates to make all things fit together. * write the content on the website, plan how pages should be organized etc. So, having more volunteers is always welcome and we have room for people with artistic talent help even if we hire a designer.

We have looked around for Months for a volunteer designers. But couldn't get anything good. Result: none of us really like the designs for those years. In 2013 we took help from actual designers, result: (almost) everyone loved the website design. We have enough time to get help from a feasible good designer. I'd suggest we do that. It's fine if we decide to go with volunteer effort. But If we decide that, I'd suggest asking the enthusiasts to submit a sample design first and let everyone vote on the design. Design is not like code. Even crappy code that gives output might be acceptable, but a crappy design that shows all the desired info is not. Again, I'd suggest getting a pro designer.

The conference, atleast in my opinion, is not about showcasing local young talent. It's about creating a space for Python developers in India to meet, interact and hopefully work together on something interesting. As organisers, I consider our role is to give people as good an event as possible with good talks, excellent facilities (wifi, food etc.), a comfortable environment, good workshops and an overall good experience. To this end, I'd prefer that things be done by professionals. Whether they're doing this as volunteers in the spirit of the event or as a company is not relevant. The focus is on the quality. The "branding" of the event is something that should be taken super seriously if we want to attract the industry side of the community and present a nice public image among other things. It's something I've been pushing for and something which thankfully has become an important topic early on. The volunteer base should have the reigns in their hands and drive everything but when there's a task that needs to be done, it's our responsibility to make it happen in the best way possible. We, and other events do this by using external services (e.g. doattend etc.). > Imagine saying something, This entire design was done by self > motivated volunteers. it may not be the best but it is our work. Wok > that came out of passion. I think I can best convey my point by comparing this to hiring a caterer. If we had a volunteer passionate about cooking and we decided to have them take care of the food instead of hiring a professional caterer, I think it's a recipe (no pun intended) for disaster. We need good food at the event because we owe that to the delegates. The way to get good food is to hire a professional caterer. We (the volunteers) do that and make sure that they deliver. Whether the catering agency is someone already in the Python community and is therefore willing to give us a discount or do it for free is a separate issue. > I am also suggesting that we keep the option open for running to a > nearby design shop. Not to be wholly closed on that aspect either. That's missing the point. I'm saying that we should get a really good designer for the branding right away.

Thanks Baiju for the appreciation. Since I was drawing the artwork from scratch, I thought that parallax effect might be an interesting concept to experiment with and learn about. This library got me extremely excited: http://wagerfield.github.io/parallax/ In this the parallax effect will also work on mobile devices based on motion. I agree, that for the a simple conference page, it can be overkill. > From: atul jha > > Good work Pratyush.

There's no > Python/conference specific stuff in there. Thanks Nouful for the honest feedback. I agree that it looks mostly generic as it was a quick prototype. For navigation and sections, I mostly copied the code from the previous years and other pycon conference pages. Vijay suggested to primarily focus on the basic theme (the artwork) to see if the thing can be worked out. > From: Vaikuntham Jagannath > > The design looks nice.But the navigation > can be improved.For Eg: Once i > click on Sponsors, there is no intuitive way > to go back up. That is a good idea Vaikuntham. Recently saw a good design where double clicking on background takes to the top. I will try to implement that effect in next few commits. Thank Vaikuntham for the appreciation. > From: Tarashish Mishra > > Visited the site on a nexus 7. The site > does not have a perfectly > responsive design. Hi Tarashish, yeah, the design is not responsive yet. There are no grids, bootstrap or multiple css. I was working on a quick prototype and this is hardly 100 lines of css. I am sure with the support of volunteers, we can even get it kicking on IE6 :). [Provided we like the design itself] > From: Bibhas Ch Debnath > > Agree with Noufal. When there is an artwork > on the website, it needs to be > greatly related to the subject. Hi Bibhas, thanks for the support and feedback. I have added the artwork file (inkscape svg) to the package: https://github.com/pratyushmittal/pycon-india-2014 I will confess that I am really bad at illustrations, but can make "inspired" stuff from given designs. So if you can provide a link to few good artworks and designs, I will to squees some ideas out of them :). > Using css3 effects are dazzling, but > unrelated here.

Have answered few of them in above replies. [Basically was a quick prototype, and parallax experiment motivated me into this.

It is a brilliant project and has already tought me a lot of things including parallax working, github gh-pages, a lot of inkscape, some vector magic etc. Thanks again everyone.

Thanks Thava for the appreciation and for providing the nasscom link. It indeed looks much more professional. PyCon and DjangoCon pages that I came across (example us.pycon.org and djangocon.eu), tend to be more casual. I thought that it was intentinal and meant that way.

But I agree that it can be easily mis-interpreted and can even hurt someone. > From: Devi > > Going with "import antigravity" is a good idea > but not with the fakir, I guess. > > One more thing - if your learning about parallax > effect is done, that could be removed. > I retained the parallax effect in this one as y-axis mouse movement seemed to enhance the anti-gravity affect.

Hi Mitesh, since these are vector graphics, these can be easily enlarged to *any* size. Retina displays is very easily doable with multiple stylesheets and export of graphics at different resolutions. This was just a quick prototype and I was able to test it only on my desktop (1366x768). Thanks again for the feedbacks.

I don't see much wrong with the parallax effect. But, you could try reducing the amount of animation, it might feel a bit better. Look at how subtle it is on github.

I think Sree can answer the question about funds. I presume you have a good idea of the brand and model of the camera/tripod which we should buy. You should probably let him know the price. -- Cordially, Noufal http://nibrahim.net.in From sree at mahiti.org Tue Oct 29 06:47:22 2013 From: sree at mahiti.org (Sreekanth S Rameshaiah) Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 11:17:22 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] video equipment for bangpypers In-Reply-To: <87ob678gar.fsf@sanitarium.localdomain> References: <87ob678gar.fsf@sanitarium.localdomain> Message-ID: On 30 October 2013 11:13, Noufal Ibrahim wrote: > > I think Sree can answer the question about funds.
