We at PyDelhi User group came up with a idea of a dev sprint, Subject: "70th Independence Day of India".? The idea is to make something usefull for the masses in India something that can be used to hel the society. We got 2 amazong ideas on the subject:: ???? ??? 1.?Making a centralized platform for the NGOs in our country. Where people can donate any goods they want. The goods they will donate will be mapped to a location where it was submitted for donation. Now the NGOs which are located near that location will collect these donated goods from the location mentioned. This will bridge the NGOs and Kind People together.?? ???? 2. Creating a specific donation platform for donating and supporting to martyr army families regarding the financial problem and any other issues related to them. ???? 3. App to highlight public inconveniences (potholes, unmanaged garbage dumps, open manholes) and plot them on a map. Idea would be to then get the municipal bodies to put an ETA on it and let the locals put pressure on it. ???? Something on the lines of?https://github.com/codeforamerica/adopt-a-hydrant/raw/master/screenshot.png ????? ? Please feel free to add your ideas in the response to this mail.?https://github.com/BetterIndia?is github org. specially made for this purpose. ???? ??? We prapose that all the Local User groups come together and have a dev Sprint this Saturday 20th with the said topic. ??? If you folks are interested please respond to this mail to make this dev sprint a success. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We put up the latest work PSF is doing, how one can become part of PSF, and contribute in the Python ecosystem. Just a few days back we had a similar table in Python APAC too.

[...] I think tables for community organisations and initiatives related to Python are fine.

How to become contributor is easily available in PSF website , Do you think there is anything other than that people need to know. (Am not opposing but understand need of table for this) We need to understand from all angles.

Correct? As i said my concern is value add to give table for 2 days. Logistics is second problem. We need make members to contribute to Python India community and grow community here, PSF is second to me(My personal opinion) In any ways i request don't involve me anymore on this thread.

When any conference asks for grants, we generally provide the grant budget as a sponsor. This is why PSF is mentioned as a sponsor in PyCon APAC. This simply shows why we should spend more time to spread the work on PSF to the greater Python community.

I second the idea of having a notified space in some form available for community interactions. Any community can huddle into the space for however long (few minutes to 2 days). They can use a notice board (or twitter) to announce key events/ discussions. Providing space where different communities can co-exist and explore some collaboration is cool I feel. It can even be on corner of open-space decked up to give community identity. - sree -- Sreekanth S R Exec Director Mahiti Infotech Pvt Ltd +91-98455-12611 http://mahiti.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

That is exactly why every sponsor pays. The community groups on the other hand are coming to an event run by community for the community. These groups are not for profit company, and they are not trying to compete in the market. This is exactly why PyCon US has community booths present, we showcase them in "OPEN SOURCE AND COMMUNITY" in the sponsor page [1].

The CFP team has been tirelessly working on choosing best possible workshops out there, focusing more on quality than on quantity,ensuring more advance tracks. We will be having just 2 workshops at each track this year. With a total of 6 workshops on the workshop day of 23rd September 2016. Each workshop will be hands-on sessions of 3 hours. This year, CFP committee had a tough job, selecting the workshops that hopefully would appeal to everyone while trying to maintain quality. We would like to thank everyone who took time off from their busy schedules and helped review the talks and interact with the proposers. You are a tough little group; we appreciate all the hard work you folks have put in. Thanks a ton, PyCon India would not be the same was it not for all of you. A big shout out to the community for being such a great support. We would also like to congratulate all those who made it through the selection process. Best of luck! There will be three halls for the workshops; held in two sessions of morning and afternoon. While planning to buy tickets for workshops do make sure you do not buy tickets in the same time slots in different halls. The Selected workshops are as follows 1.Building a Lie Detector: Multi-Modal Sentiment Analysis 2.Docker Workshop 3.Talking to Machines : Optimizing Neural Networks with Theano 4.Productive Coding with PyCharm 5.Demystifying the Django REST Framework 6.Scaling Django with Kubernetes Tickets to Workshops are available at < https://in.explara.com/e/pycon-india-2016> Note: 1. Separate tickets to be bought for each workshop 2. The workshop seats are limited to 25 seats . 4.

"The mission of the Python Software Foundation is to promote, protect, and advance the Python programming language, and to support and facilitate the growth of adiverse and international community of Python programmers." The specific motivation for sponsor(s) to align themselves with the event (this brings about a slight tangent around whether the organization has an plans to involve the sponsor companies beyond the event) is thus somewhat different than what PSF's presence could be about. Of course, the decision on whether to provide table space or, not to PSF is that of the event organizers. There will be a significant set of constraints and such to think about.

I think having one desk titled "Python Community/Communities", could work for all those ( PSF, PSSI, DjangoGirls etc with one representative each only ) who are promoting or advancing the Python Programming Language. Sponsor's usually have very specific agenda like hiring, promoting their open source offering, getting brand visibility. I don't think PSF/PSSI/DjangoGirls dilute or compete against these interest of the sponsors. Yes when we put another desk/stall near by we take away some spotlight / footfall away from them. I can see where the event organizers are coming from, having communicated with sponsors before and juggling their wishlist, issues/tantrums/expectation before and during the event. I understand it puts you in a difficult spot. Having said that these communities play a very important role as they have brought in and nurtured many Python programmers in the community globally. A desk on may be not right next to the sponsors but still accessible could work for everyone IMHO.

To name a few, we have requests from people who are a part of both PyCon India and at least one of the following: - PyLadies - DjangoGirls - RailsGirls - PyDelhi - BangPypers - Wikimedia Community - Openstreet map Community - Datameet Community - HillHacks - BeachHacks - ILUG-D - Mozilla Community - Gnome Asia et el, all requesting for the same. The convention center does not have enough space for so many tables. However, on a positive note, there will be Lightening Talks where representatives of the community can speak about their achievements and invite the audience to join in. There will have Open Spaces where communities are cordially invited to interact with the attendees and spread their message. These sessions can also be conducted in as a BoF like last year: https://youtu.be/IWHH6c3wZVQ. So its a 'No' for now.

What better than a good talk to get everyone pepped up and wishing that the conference was not over at that time? That's my thought anyway. It's something I've noticed in some conferences e.g.https://us.pycon.org/2015/schedule/talks/ and https://tw.pycon.org/2016/en-us/events/schedule/#2016-06-05 but this is probably just confirmation bias.

I second Noufal. A Keynote as the last talk is a great booster to end the conference. You can also use the same time to talk about next years conference, thank the speakers and attendees. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As most people tend to get drowsy after lunch session.
