[Inpycon] Query: Upcoming Python Workshop

[Noufal Ibrahim]

Hello Sajal,
   The September event in Delhi is more than just a workshop. It's a 3 
day conference. The first day (23rd) is for workshops. These will be 
longer (2.5 hour) sessions with some time for hands on practice and 
limited one on one interaction. 24 and 25th are for talks which will 
last around 30 minutes and will be delivered from a stage to a larger 
audience. There will also be plenty of time to network with other python 
programmers and the community in general. That's the overall idea.

   To address your question specifically, there are multiple workshops 
proposed for the 23rd. The list is  over here 
https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2016/proposals/?proposal_type=8#proposals (you 
might need an account to view this). They're just proposals now and 
we're still reviewing them to see which ones will actually be made 
available. Once that list is up, individual workshops will have  their 
own pre requisites. e.g. 
https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2016/proposals/generators-inside-out~b2WPd/ is 
an advanced workshop that expects the audience to know python quite well 
before attending whereas 
https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2016/proposals/document-your-code-sphinx-workshop~eX5la/ 
is a more introductory workshop without many pre requisites. Remember 
that these are proposals and not yet finalised. So, to answer your 
questions about pre requisites, it depends on which workshop you're 
looking at. You'll have to contact the proposer of the workshop to know 
all the details.

   As for the the tickets, I'm assuming they'll be up for sale once the 
workshops are finalised. I'm not sure when that will be. The list is 
CC'ed in this email so perhaps someone from it will reply. From the 
review calendar, it looks like they'll be available in late August.

Thanks
