[Inpycon] Venue suggestion for PyCon India 2015

[SUMIT KUMAR RAJ]

I was the second time attendee of Pycon. First time I attended in 2012 and
second 2014.
I am also disappointed with the quality of workshops and some talks being
given. With my watch I can say 2012 workshops in Christ were better than
2014 workshops.
Talks on Day 2 were better than Day 1 this year...this was the feedback of
some of my friends as well who attended Pycon this year.
I agree with Noufal than just for the sake of pulling crowd we should not
compromise with the quality.
I would tell you honest feedback of mine. Paying 1000 bucks for one
workshop and then you come to know that's not worth peanuts .
Definitely we should concentrate on quality speakers whether be it for
intermediates or experts .
