The colleges call us and ask to reschedule the workshop, sometimes we need to follow up with the college to make sure they are with the schedule and we never got time to follow up what happened after the workshop. At that point, I've decided to build a software to automate most of these interactions. I've been moonlighting on it since a month or so and finally I have something to show. It is not complete, not ready for production use, but none the less you can review and let me know your feedback. Python Month will no longer be a suitable name for it as we are planning to continue running it through out the year, not just for one month. I've decided to call it Python Express and the demo website is live at: http://demo.pythonexpress.in/ There is lot more to do. I need help in writing the code, making the site look better, making sure the text reads well, people to administer the site, follow up the workshops and finally people to conduct the workshops.

Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2014 06:42:48 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] On using QR codes for sponsor-participant contact exchange. Message-ID: Ladies and gentlemen, During the last offline volunteers meetup, we discussed about alternatives that we could use for contact exchange between the sponsors and participants. We had using Bar code readers in mind. Sayan and I took it up. In between research, Praseetha suggested using QR codes for this purpose. We investigated on that end and here are the observations. Create QR codes for each registered participant before hand using this API http://goqr.me/api/. Put them sorted alphabetically and hand it over to the participants during registration. Printing it during registration is a no-no. Tons of things that could go wrong. Have a tablet (labelled with sponsor name) at every sponsor stall with QR code app installed. The app is called QR Droid. It scans and stores the information within a database. The sponsor can see the history at any time they choose to. After the event, the app allows you to export the data as a CSV. We'll have to write a CSV parser to parse the data and send it to the respective sponsors. The API allows 10k requests per day. So we're good there. This approach will have the side effect of participants being able to exchange contact info. Guess that is good side effect to have. This approach requires neither a centralized server nor an Internet connection. The Internet is usually the main problem in these scenarios. Hence, we avoid that. Sayan tested the API and the app. It seems to be working as expected. We would like to hear your thoughts. With the exception of Murphy hanging around PyCon India as an uninvited guest, unless there is something that could obviously go wrong with this approach, it seems reasonable to implement. Oh, as for the Bar code reader, bar codes can only store numbers. Then we again hit the problem of having a centralized server where we can look up the details of the corresponding number.

Anand ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Arvi Krishnaswamy Date: Thu, Jul 17, 2014 at 9:31 AM Subject: Proposal - Panel discussion for the Web Track of Pycon To: inpycon at python.org All, I'd like to propose a panel discussion topic for the web track of this year's Pycon. I'm volunteering myself to help run the panel if this is a topic we think is worthy. I think it's good to have a topic that has a heathy debate. Such topics are engaging for the audience, and also bring forth a number of useful takeaways. Topic: Flask vs Django vs Bottle vs Pyramid vs YAPWF The specific frameworks we choose will depend a bit on the panelists, their expertise and how relevant the comparisons may be. I will likely have each panelist choose a framework that they will be a bit vocal about, in order to keep the discussion engaging. How does this sound? Should we do it? Are there panelists you'd like to recommend? Thanks, Arvi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ultimately, every framework is a tool, and each has its pros and cons and it's not always easy to compare apples to apples across them. So, I'm totally with you there. However, I've found that certain formats work better for panel discussions. The format I'm proposing will be a 70/30 split of time between an A vs B format discussion followed by a more balanced summary towards the end. I'm looking for stronger opinionated positions on each of them since I've found in the past that this is important in order to keep a panel lively and engaging. However, this doesn't mean there shouldn't be mutual respect or a dog fight on stage. It also doesn't mean that there wont be a balanced perspective across the different options being discussed. If you'd rather have someone present a talk that compares the different frameworks, that's something to consider for next time. But, that's not what I'm proposing.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: We had this suggestion and discussion the last time after the event. We decided to not use any software for contact exchange. The problems we faced last year in contact exchange was due to the technology involved. It's much much easier and smooth if the participants just go to the stall and write their contacts. The hardwares showed faults, network was faulty at some point, that made the volunteers run around and spend too much time debugging things. It sounds easy when you write like that, but during the event, the smallest glitch will require at least 3-4 volunteers run around all the sponsor tables to debug and fix it.

I'm not sure how writing contact info at the sponsor stalls would look from a sponsor's perspective, but if it is all good, then yes, we should try and avoid technology.

But that also mean we have to generate QR code for each participant and get them printed. There is some cost there. Not sure if that's worth it.

We plan to have a few backup talks. In case for whatever reason we don't pull enough people together for a panel, we'll fall back on one of the talks. Instead of gating the decision based on who is in the panel, lets make a decision to move forward with this, since we have a plan B to fall back on if good panelists aren't available. It will take some time to pull some of this together, and I'd prefer that this is independent of the schedule development. We can update the schedule with the names of the panelists once they are confirmed.

I think we can print 2 copies of 1000+ random QR codes and stick one on the back side of the badge, write the ticket number on the other and keep it safe for later mapping. That way we won't have any dependence on any technology. The mapping part can be done manually, not a big deal for 1000 participants. We could automate it by mapping the ticket number to QR code, if required. Anand -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

That is very low already. They are paying just for their food. It is hard to see someone who is motivated to attend the conference and is put off by the fee. I'm -1 on giving free passes to students.

The fees is not much,in any way.

What we should rather do in that case is provide accommodation for out station students. Are there any lost options? Is there any option of staying up at NIMHANS it self?

I don't think the issue here is about money. I think PyCon India can easily support, but the point it is what kind of support will benefit the right kind of people. My +1 for providing accommodation/travel support for outstation participants. How about providing a travel grant up to Rs. 1500/- for outstation students attending PyCon India?

However, we should make it easier for them to find accommodation. The reason I suggested travel grant instead of accommodation is because it is hard to find accommodation that satisfies every one.

A couple of years ago, there was an Open Data Camp in Bangalore ( http://odc.datameet.org/odcblr2012) that offered financial support for outstation participants by pairing them up with sponsors. I'm not 100% sure how they went about the mechanics of it, but here's how I imagine they did it (or alternatively- an approach for Pycon): Ask outstation students to apply for travel/accommodation ?support to the conference. In this application, they provide a brief profile on themselves. Have a deadline. After the deadline, pass the list of applicants to the sponsors- send it to the top sponsor first, let them choose who they want to support, remove those names from the list, pass the new list to the next sponsor, let them choose and so on till all the sponsors are covered (of course- the conf organizers let participants know that this is going to happen). This is a win-win situation for everyone involved. The conference organizers don't have to get involved in choosing whom to select, the participants who want financial aid get avenues to access financial aid, the sponsors get to reach out to bright participants. The aid is settled between the sponsor and the participants they choose- so the conference organizers don't have the accounting and other overheads. This method may also entice additional sponsors to get on board. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It looks like there is a lot of place to conduct this, in addition to having the whole Auditorium 3 (i assume) for the open spaces, there is a whole bunch of space on the first floor AND small rooms (prose rooms I believe they are called) there as well. If these aren't going to be used for sponsor office hours sessions, we could surely use this for open spaces. Having rooms brings in more focus and direction. It would also help if multiple people are working on the same thing (a bug bust, or whatever) Vijay had suggested that we put the announcement off till the schedule comes out which makes sense. I will try to put more info into the one post or if need be we can make it a small series of posts. Thoughts?

It seems that the demo domain is still the default one. I'll have to wait for @Anand to make it final before we can start using it.

FSMK recently conducted a 9 days Summer Camp on Free Software Technologies which was participated by 183 participants and 30 volunteers. As part of the camp, we had a screening of the movie, The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz followed by a discussion with Lawrence Liang from Alternative Law Forum. The screening was received very well by participants and there were quite a good number of questions and opinions from participants. The movie is very well made to make the general public understand the whole circumstances which lead Aaron to commit suicide. I was wondering if there is any chance for PyCon India 2014 to make a similar screening for its participants/general public whichever it seems fit and possible in the evening on the day of conference. Apart from Aaron's connection to Python through many projects, web.py being one of the popular ones, I think one of the main reason why PyCon India needs to do the screening is that it is one of the premier conference which brings in good mix of people from various interests and backgrounds to Bangalore and hence very good place to inform people about the story of Aaron Swartz. Currently I dont think there is any other conference like PyCon India which is organized in Bangalore which would be suitable for such screening, especially since FOSS.IN is no longer being organized. Another reason is that it would be very difficult for anyone to organize similar screening in as good venue as Nimhans Convention Hall which has a very good seating capacity and can accommodate large crowd. Hope the community will consider the request and will make it possible so that ideas of Aaron Swartz and his story reaches and inspires many more people.

Last year was my first time attending PyCon and I had absolutely NO idea what the concept of open spaces meant. I think this year, there will be a lot more first timers and it would be a great win for us if we organize it in such a way that these first timers are also able to have open talks themselves. > - Nimhans is fairly spread out, and I often found myself trekking from one > far end to the other and back and forth.

Another thing that was suggested was that we can have a place for? people whose talks didn't get selected to hang out. One thing that comes to mind is having something like Reddit AMA sessions? Where people hang out in a place and say Ask Me Anything. > - It was hard to find people with whom you shared common interests. Having > some way to indicate this on your badge or a sticker would be great. > ?Agree. We could have some kind of a wall where people write "Name - Interest - Twitter handle / Phone number" so that they could work things out. But that would still be a 1 to 1 reach. We need a way to reach a bunch of people interested in a certain topic. Not sure how this is done, but I think that this is the real use case of open spaces? One thing would be have designated areas in the? open spaces where people can socialize. Something like "databases", "security", etc. We can work something out regarding that. This is just an idea. > - I felt the main auditorium projector screens were a bit small, and it > made it hard to read some of the slides if you ended up withs seats in the > back. > ?Very true.
