I was one of the people supporting that idea. I guess my point was not
saying no to first timers, but making sure they can give a good talk by
asking them to present at a local meetup before coming to the bigger stage.
I didn't want PyCon India to become a testing ground.

I guess the mentoring program addresses my worries while welcoming
first-time speakers.
