Hi

 Right now we have 143 proposals! A sweet number. Funnel doesn't support
filtering of proposals based on types like workshops. Shreyas -

PyCon India fork for funnel already supports that.

That is nice. But UI was missing to filter. It would be nice to have

Subject: [Inpycon] PyCon proposal review process
Message-ID: <CALWxmCTmg6YwdwoT=TfH6sdhWv14a5s_jUPoH3K-y94Qry+9Eg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi

 We received 143 proposals and 30 proposals on last day.

Review process:

 Review process will happen in two phases. During phase1 of review, each
reviewer will give +1, 0, -1 for each proposal. After the phase 1, any talk
with no negatives will be accepted and with >3 negatives is rejected.
Remaining talks will move to phase 2. In Phase 2, reviews will happens in
group. After phase 2 final list will be announced. Reviewer is free to
communicate to the proposer through funnel.


What does votes mean ?

+1 -- The topic sounds good and the proposal is solid. This vote means
reviewer is willing to put his/her reputation on the line in favour of the
proposal.

0 -- This topic is good and the proposal is solid. The speaker is capable
of correcting any deficiencies, and significant number of attendees want it.

-1 -- This talk or its proposal has significant problems and would be worse
for having it.

Some criteria for evaluation are

- Will I attend the talk if it is selected ?
- Are there a significant group of attendees who want to attend the talk?
- Do author know enough about the topic?
- Is the proposal too ambitious for the time allotted?

We will be publishing this as blog post soon.

Sounds good. A couple of questions:
1. What are the timelines for Phase I and II? I am going to be a
little tied up till this Wed.
2. Re your last sentence about communicating with the proposer through
Funnel. Presumably, that is for Phase II, right?

First of all, congratulations!

I have some experience in reviewing talk proposals and I would like to
volunteer and help reviewing a few proposals, which I can or know about.

I'd like to clarify a few questions before getting started.

1. Is the review process public?
2. Is there someone who can override suggestions from the review team?
3. Is this how it was done last year too?

I'd like to propose a *slightly* different model. I don't think a single
number from [-1, 0, +1] will be good enough.

Julia Evans recently wrote an interesting article[1] on the point. Rather
than counting votes of +1 and -1, it could be more useful to give grades
for talks and make the reviewer advocate for it.

Here is the important section from the blog:

>> Talk review: Letter grades

>>[...] Each of us assigned a proposal a letter grade (A-D), from ?I will
fight for this talk?, to ?I will fight for this talk to be rejected?. We
then looked at the highest & lowest grade for each talk and binned them
into AA, AB, AC, AD, BB, BC, BD, CC, CD, DD. We rejected any talk that
didn?t have an A.

So in effect, any talk which got a D from any of the reviewers need to be
checked again. For example, If I have attended a previous talk from the
speaker which went really bad, I'd vote a D. Same goes for A too. An A from
a senior experienced person can be given more weightage.

This obviously require more discussions.

Comments appreciated.

For phase 1 tentative date is june 25(end date). The date for phase 2 will
depend on remaining proposal.

Funnel can be used for communication during any phase.

Let me answer these from my experience of managing the talk selection last
year. They may not apply to this year, but will help to get the picture.

The review process was not public. It was mainly buried in emails.

The numbers only give an indication of what talks are good to be selected,
but more work is required to finalize the talks. Sometimes there'll be more
than one talks with similar topic and all of them get good rating. Those
kinds of thinks need to be discussed and only one of them must be selected.
Also, we need to make sure there are enough talks in each section, etc.

In my experience, it is hard to put -1 on any talk. Usually people put +1
on good ones and ignore the rest.

What I did last year was to ask each reviewer to pick the 5 talks that they
think should be selected. Quickly we were able to come up with 10 talks
that almost all of them agree up on. Now the problem is to select the
remaining 10, which requires lot of discussion. I think that worked very
well.

Hi,

How many workshops are we going to select this year?

I've noticed that there were some "introduction to Python" workshop
proposals this time. Are we going to give away some of the already limited
slots for these newbie workshops?

I'm in general not in favor of having "learn python" talks at PyCon India.
I think PyCon India should be conference for python programmers, not a
place for people to start learning Python.

I'm not against the idea of spreading/teaching Python along with the
conference. We could run workshops in different cities as part of Python
Month. We can even host a 1 full-day python workshop on the tutorial day at
a different venue. (TERI has hall with seating capacity of 100+ and that
costs less than 15K.)

What do you think?

Amen!

It should be newbie friendly, but not this much. Completely agreeing to the
point.

Learn python can be extended to learn 'this new flashy library which won't
be there a year or 2 from now. A lot of 'how to do this' talks rather than
'why'. Infinite number of Flask/Request tutorials. Those talks do have a
place, but probably not at Pycon.

There's no topic decided yet and no people invited. I'm not sure we can

The only people I know who are into Python3 here in India are Anand
C. and Dhananjay. The latter is not coming and one man is not enough for
a panel. Any other suggestions?

Michael Foord, Kushal(Indian Keynote) are confirmed.
Jessica McKellar(can be made guest speaker) if she agree we can make guest
speaker as there is not confirmation.
Am not sure if we still discuss with Firefox developer as invited speaker
also.

For panel discussion  can we plan for python3 as last year it was in the
list .

Even I'm not a Python 3 expert.

How about something like "Python in government projects"? Find some people
at NIC who are using Python and let them share their experiences about:

* using Python in government projects
* what are the issues preventing them using Python
* how can the python community help

What do you think?

All of this depends on people we can get who are good at it. Can you
suggest 3 or 4 people who might be good on a Panel (also Anand for the
govt. thing). I can take care of talking to them and stuff but need
names.

I know at least two people who have contacts with government organizations.
Satyakam and Sreekanth (gnuyoga). I think even Sree (mahiti) may have some
contacts.

On the other hand, data science is emerging field and python is playing a
big role in it. I would be good to have a panel on it. I can only think of
Anand S. Let me ping him and see if he can suggest us some names for the
panel.

I think it would be nice to have 2 panels, one in each day like we did last
year.

+1 for the Data Science idea.

Yeah, Data Science is a really fast advancing field, and on top of that,
Python is emerging as the the most powerful tool for Data Analytics.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/termie/3393726450/in/faves-mfoord/ is a
good one (although perhaps a little dated).

I'll mail him and Jessica again tonight to move things forward.

Hi All,

Most government projects use a blend of languages based on merits and
compatibility with systems. A classic example of this is the BHUVAN-NUIS
project under the aegis of Ministry of Urban Development executed by
National Remote Sensing Centre, ISRO, Hyderabad.

They have developed a Python plugin for QGIS to integrate landuse mapping &
planning with cloud computing etc. You can find out more about the project
here [1].

The person incharge would be Dr. P. G. Diwakar, Deputy Director, National
Remote Sensing Centre, Hyderabad.

With regard to NIC - I think the guys at National Knowledge Network (NKN),
one of the ambitious project of Planning Commission executed by NIC, are
heavily relying on Python. They can be reached on piu at nkn.in

Hi,

Speaker Updates from Mozilla:

Both Eric Rose and Tarek Ziad are busy with their schedule and won't
be able to make it. I have approached Andy McKay and he has shown
interest, more details about him [1] . Also i will be approaching
James Bennett [2].

Thanks

Das. https://github.com/iambibhas/inpycon14/issues/6 /

I haven't emailed Jessica. She said she'd get back but I should probably
ping again. Unless we've decided on just Kushal and Michael. 

What's the status?

Kushal Das is Indian Keynote speaker
As  Michael Foord has provided confirmation he is second keynote.
If Jessica agreed we can have her as guest/third keynote as we are not sure
of panel discussion yet.

Does either speaker have a 'stock' stub which can be re-purposed?

Is anyone taking care of the twitter/FB accounts at all? There's no buzz
around the event as far as I can tell.

We have just added recipes on IFTTT that'd push posts on Facebook and
Twitter when a new blog post comes up. I guess we need some more
event-related content to push. Any creative ideas would be welcome.

I guess we should increase the number of blog posts, which might spark
some activity on the social media platforms.
May be one ( or even two) post every week will do, given the number of
volunteers once a week should not be a trouble.
The topics can be discussed in the channel itself, the channel has
also been silent for sometime now.

Again just an idea, I am willing to initiate if it sounds reasonable.

[...]

There needs to be a human being who makes sure that these things
happen. Automation is fine but only under a watchful eye. There might be
a mistaken blog post which shouldn't be tweeted about for example.

Right now, the last tweet is on June 4 and the twitter widget is empty.

I'm not sure we need more creative ideas. We first need to make sure
that the usual routes are saturated. Once that's done, whoever is in
charge of the publicity via. social media should make sure that it
happens.

Agreed. We' need to keep an eye on that.

I remember @nischalhp had volunteered for this but someone stepped up
saying they were taking care of it.

Maybe they could work together on this.

@nischalhp: are you still open to taking this up?

Thanks a lot Sankarshan.

Also, the template has spaces for a tag line for each speaker. Something 
like "Core Pythong Developer", "IronPython Developer" etc. Can you 
suggest something nice for the two speakers?

Would it be possible for you to explain how that would look when you publish?

Hmm... should one ask the speakers to decide on the tags or, should
the organizers do that?

There's going to be one more. Jessica has hinted that she'll be
available and free to come. I'm waiting for a final confirmation and
that's why I hadn't mailed the list.

Hi,

What's up with the G+ page[1] of PyCon India? It seems it was never used 
after the 2012 PyCon! I found this thread[2] from 2012 that suggests 
someone named Vikash Agarwal is the owner and AnandC is one of the managers.

@Anand, can you check if you still have control on it?

Hi Bibhas,

I'm a manager of that page, but the owner is Vikash Agrawal. Can you try to
find him and ask if he can transfer ownership to one of us?

Mock[1] is part of standard library, it is not a third party library.
It was introduced in standard library in Python3.3

Message-ID: <CAC7wXFwW9o24Hs7RGatEWVBeaX2UbnSahbN1wnK4GsnH7=bnfA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

How many workshops are we planning to have this year? Last year we had 9
workshops with 3 parallel tracks. There are couple of small rooms and big
open space upstairs and we can potentially use them to accommodate another
track, if we need.

So how many workshops are we going to select?

9 workshops. If the proposed workshops have good quality then increasing
the number of workshops make sense. At the max 11.

Message-ID: <CAEkH89O5X34EM92rJtFpZk-6NhUhi7xMBbhsey_BfGqXKO2-eA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I was watching talks from 2014 Pycon and there is a lightning talk[1] where
Greg of the aosabook fame talks about how they want people to come together
in an open space and work on something. I feel that we should make way from
great discussions like those.

Last year, I do remember that we had open spaces but they were tucked away
in some corner of the place and it didn't attract too much attention
(correct me if I am wrong)

What I feel is this time, we should bring more (way more) focus to Open
spaces and Lighting Talks. It is a great way for people to connect, do
things together and learn SO much more.

What do y'all feel ?

/Shrayas

Hi Shrayas,

It would be awesome to make open spaces more attractive. But problem is we
are always short of people to take lead and make things happen. Would you
like to volunteer to make openspaces more exciting this time?

+1

 I too think we should stick to 9 slots and think of adding more slots if
we find really exciting workshop proposals that we don't want to drop.

Last year it was a struggle even to select 9.

Hi Anand,

I Agree. I think that people should be self motivated. Let us have a
discussion, based on that I would be able to commit.

Shrayas,

I would love to volunteer.  But, as I stay at Jodhpur, I think I can't be
of any physical help.

So, please let me know, if I could be of any help.

Hi Raj,

Will surely contact you if anything comes up from my side.

Do you have any points on how to make open spaces more interesting?

I see that you're a Mozillian.. Can we do something with that? Have some
kind of an activity where people can contribute to Mozilla during the
conference? Thoughts?

Awesome :)

Any thoughts on how to motivate people to participate in open spaces more?
Conferences are a means to meet more like minded people. This could be a
nice opportunity to bring them together.

Vinay,

Really great that you'd be available for help.  So, can you please add up
to our ideas or suggest some new, cool ideas for making open spaces more
interesting, and also get people motivated for participation?

Some points till now:

* A getting started session discussion on open source contributions sound
good, where starters can pour in their doubts, and the experienced ones can
help. (RAJ)
        - If the response comes out good, we can even try organizing
sprints, where people get to have a hands-on on bug squashing and stuff
(even documentation too).

Shrayas,

Yes, we can surely help people get started at Open source and bug
squashing, with help from other Mozilla contributors and other experienced
people.

These kind of getting-started sessions would be really helpful for people
who have some programming experience, and want to gear up for the open
source experience.

Hi

 Last year I managed open sessions for one day. It was quite well received.
We had good decisions but we didn't publicise well. Following are my
thoughts to improve open sessions

1. Publicise in web site, schedule and mailing list.
2. Announce in social media and send open session notes to all participants
and rejected talk proposers.
3. Make announcement about open sessions during breaks and have sign board
for open session.

Last year we decided to have two tracks. This year it is not clear about
number of tracks, it will depend on selected talks. If it is dual track I
think we will get that last room else we may end up in first floor.
Talks for open session & flash talks should be decided on that day only. If
we decide early in mailing list, people who are not in mailing list don't
get enough chance.

Conducting Hackathon or Bug smash during event days leads to lot of
logistics work and needs lot of volunteer. Having sprints,  hackathon et
all should be on different day from main conference.

I am all up for helping new people to getting started with open source,
have diverse talks given there are enough volunteers and logistics are
planned ahead.

Yes, totally agree with you sir.

A good, healthy discussion on getting started on open source, and some good
projects (or even open source organizations) to discuss or glance upon
wouldn't need much logistics.

But yeah, if we are into organizing a hackathon, or a hands-on on bug
squashing, then we need a good amount of logistics to take care. So, this
has to be an on-the sot decision (whether to have one, or not), depending
upon the rooms availability and some more criterion.

But, I guess a good discussion can be possible, with experienced people
giving out their views and opinions on some FAQs like:

"How do I get started at open source?"
"How to identify bugs? and what pre-requisite should I possess for
bug-squashing".,  et cetera.

I guess there is a proposal in the full about "Document your code", which'd
be very helpful in this aspect.

SO, we need people who can actually publicize well on social media, and
yeah, if we decide quickly on this, somebody can as well send a PR to the
website, too.

@Krace:

Yes I agree it wasn't publicised well. We really need to do that this time.
A blog post about it would be great! I'll try to write something this
weekend. We can add on as necessary.

I really like the idea about "rejected talk proposers". That makes a lot of
sense. Some people might have been looking forward to listening but they
just don't get that opportunity since the talk wasn't selected.

I can take up announcing during the breaks and all.

Actually speaking, the place really doesn't matter. If we have a room that
is cool else I think that the first floor makes sense. We could just get
some tables and then people can discuss around them. Personally I feel that
if we get the idea across and people bite, they will FIND a way to get
stuff done.

Here is a different take on hackathons/bug smashes: Think about it this
way: I as the maintainer of an Open source solution will announce saying
i'm doing a bug bust from so and so time on so and so date and I will do
it. The others can join if they want to. The idea is still the same from my
last point, if they want to do something, they will find a way to do it.

@RAJ:

I like the idea of addressing questions like "How do i get started with
open source" and "How do I document/test". I think for people just getting
started with python, these things would be really helpful. If we have
enough people doing their own open source projects, they can share their
learnings.

@All:

How shall we proceed with this? Are there any other ideas?

Hello Guys,

@Shrayas - its an extremely cool idea and the idea that is running in my
head right now is people come to Pycon cause of 2 things .

1) They love python
2) People want to figure out why python is cool.

I think we should have things in the open space that will make people get
the idea of power of python.

For example, using Flask you can get a webapp up in 5 mintues.

Things like that will be really really cool.

I can pitch in and volunteer too.

Thats the best part of open spaces, It is completely open. We cant "have"
anything there. It is purely based off peoples interests.

However, we can put it in our blog posts and our announcements.

There are a few good things worth mentioning about unconferences/open table
discussions/hack spaces.

1. A lot of people (including me) still go to conferences and attend no
talks
   other than the keynote. Either they are there to socialize/hire and an
open
   space is perfect for that. Hacking on something interesting in your own
pace
   with a few similar minded people is a lot more interesting than an
average
   talk. It leads to a lot more interaction among attendees.

2. You can always learn from watching good folks work. We tried Debian
packaging
   at last foss.in and it went really well. I remember a vegetable seller
by day
   keenly observing, asking a million questions and towards the end of the
day
   managing to package a small gem. Those moments give you the feeling that
the
   conference actually have some real world value. Such level of
interaction is
   just not possible in a talk. Learning with a small group is awesome.

3. A lot of folks have ideas they want to share, but its not possible to
make it
   into a polished 30-60m talk. I could talk about interesting ways we use
ZMQ @
   Ideadevice or a 10m demo about the awesome things you can do with
decorators.
   Someone could show me an interesting refactoring technique. Its too hard
to
   make something like this into a talk, but it adds value to a lot of
   not-so-beginner folks. Unconferences/open tables are perfect for that.
I've
   learned quite a bit like that.

Generally all you need is a good wifi and lot of open space for things like
this
to happen. I can help if anything is required of me.

Completely agree with everything you just said.

That is precisely what i was going for. The level of interaction at open
spaces is something that i dont think we can achieve in talks or even after
the talks.

I have one thing to mention here though:

Consider the way these things are playing out, it seems like there is more
of an opportunity to have multiple open spaces are compared to just one
session at an open space.

If multiple open spaces make more sense, then I think the first floor would
be the right place for it. We could arrange multiple small tables around
which people could discuss. We could make like the first floor an "open
zone" with multiple things happening at the same time.

Also Jaseem, could you take the lead for this? As Krace said, we need
someone to organize all this.

Yes, multiple open spaces is a really great idea. So, we can have a lot of
interesting topics to discuss upon, with the experienced ones pouring out
their opinions, and the starters absorbing them.

But, let us not have a lot of them. It'd be good if only a handful of
sessions are planned on some cool, trending topics (the ones in which most
of the attendees are interested in.)

Added the filter to funnel. Also limited the next/prev links to the current
section. Hope that makes it faster to review proposals in any one section.

Nice :)

Was a good exercise learning how to write a bookmarklet though.

Thanks for the opportunity!

Subject: [Inpycon] Announcing the 3rd keynote speaker for PyCon India 2014!
Message-ID: <53aba6db.a9df440a.727a.74cc@mx.google.com>

Hello people!

Surprise, surprise, surprise. What is better than 2? Definitely the
answer is 3!

We were extremely happy when we announced Kushal Das and Michael Foord
as our Keynote speakers for PyCon India 2014
(http://in.pycon.org/2014/ ). Now we are ecstatic to announce our 3rd
keynote speaker - none other than Jessica McKellar herself!

Jessica McKellar is an entrepreneur, software engineer, and open
source developer from San Francisco, California, USA. She is a
Director for the Python Software Foundation, PyCon North America's
Diversity Outreach Chair, and a maintainer for several open source
projects, including OpenHatch and the Twisted event-driven networking
engine. For her outreach efforts in the Python community, she was
awarded the O'Reilly Open Source Award in 2013.

This edition of PyCon India promises to be the best so far and is
absolutely going to be one that you don't want to miss. Not just in
terms of our 3 excellent keynote speakers, but in terms of the 143
talk proposals that we have as well. We wish we could give all of them
a chance, but unfortunately we only have 2 days of conference. Maybe
we should consider making it a 5 days conference next year huh? ;)

So jump in and vote for your favourite talks now!
(http://in.pycon.org/funnel/2014/ ) Oh, and better make sure you grab
the tickets (http://pyconindia2014.doattend.com/ )before they are sold
out as well.

Hope to see many of you there!

Baiju,

Could you please post them to all groups at once with [X-POST] prefix
instead of sending one mail per group? I got 7 copies of the email as I'm
subscribed to all the groups.

Anand

Awesome.

@Krace, Now that we have a person who can take up the lead, what do you
suggest are the next steps?
