From noufal at nibrahim.net.in Tue Feb 7 02:55:00 2023 From: noufal at nibrahim.net.in (Noufal Ibrahim KV) Date: Tue, 07 Feb 2023 13:25:00 +0530 Subject: [Inpycon] Kickstarting the conference again Message-ID: <87lel9gbaj.fsf@sanctum> Hi everyone, The conference didn't happen last year and I'd hate for that to repeat this year too. I understand that the strain and effort needed to pull it off is not sustainable and can have a negative (especially mental) impact on the people most vital to the event taking place. At the same time, the value of a large event has been very clear to me especially for the new folks that come for it. Short term benefits like being able to chill for a few days with like minded folks and long term benefits like making connections that push people's careers forward and provide opportunities that might be life changing. If there are no takers for the organisation, I'd like to be actively involved in doing it this year. Perhaps take the lead on it. There are several details which I've not thought about but I'd like to hear thoughts about this before I commit.

We do not want to miss this year's train. Different chapters of PyCon India Local Python user groups have already started the chatter. They will be sending the proposal on the mailing list in sometime. Thank you everyone for showing interest. Once the proposal is out, do reach out to the team. They would be needing a lot of help to make that happen.

Just so that it doesn't end up being an endless wait and the people who're available to take things up can start laying the groundwork. Since the chatter has already started, I say let's keep the deadline as Feb 18th? If potential proposals come in by 18th, we can start discussions around it on 19th. If nothing comes in by 18th, then we can move ahead with the planning here itself on 19th. > With Regards, > > Chandan Kumar > _______________________________________________ > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/inpycon > Mailing list guidelines :http://www.shakthimaan.com/downloads/glv/presentations/mailing-list-etiquette.pdf -- Haris Ibrahim K.

Our team has experience in organizing conferences, including the "PyConf Hyd" (a relatively smaller-scale conference) and PyCon India 2018. Although some experienced members of our team have relocated, we believe we still have the capability to pull this off. If the larger community is open to giving us the opportunity, we would be happy to send a detailed proposal and a tentative timeline by the end of this month. Please feel free to ask any questions, either I or someone from the HydPy group will be happy to assist.

Yes, I also concur that it would be good to hold an event this year. My time is limited, and will mostly have to be restricted to joining remotely, but for example, I would be happy with helping with the CfP process. Let's get this done.

Thanks Noufal for the lead. Having been to PyConfHyd in december I concur with Sanchit as it was a well organized conference and they have a team in place who would be able to pull this off with the leadership of Ram and Sanchit. >From my heart I would like to vote for Bangalore but I believe it may be quite difficult to pull off assembling a team here from scratch again considering many of the key people are not in Bangalore anymore. My suggestion would be to do it in Hyderabad for 2023 and then take it forward. But definitely a big +1 for PyCon India this year. I do have some time on my hands this year so I will be quite happy to volunteer. Thanks --Anand -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We at Pydelhi had a discussion on ; if we have a team or volunteers interested in holding pycon. There are enough interested people that it warrants a exploration of the same. We would be holding another meet in about 20 to 30 days to do a show of strength. In order to figure out how many people would be willing to take lead positions. Plus a discussion on other logistical challenges. This exercise would be carried out regardless of if another team is selected to do pycon in mean time, as in that case we would simply focus on doing a Pyconf Delhi in that case. Kind regards. Akshay Arora - team PyDelhi.

Just so that I bring a closure to my own comment, it is the 19th today. We haven't had any detailed proposals come in yet. Having said that, we've had: 1. Sanchit on behalf of the HyPUG (Hyderabad Python Users Group) mention that they'd be interested in taking it up since they seem to have a volunteer base who organized PyConf Hyderabad recently. Corroborating Anand Pillai's point, I was at the event as well and had a good time. Sanchit also mentioned he'd be happy to put together a detailed proposal by the end of this month IF the community decides to hold PyCon India at Hyderabad this year. 2. Akshay from PyDelhi mentioning that they seem to have had a get together already and saw a lot of interest from people who are ready to volunteer. They seem to have decided to move on regardless of whether the community decides PyCon India to be held there or not and anyway use their volunteer base to organize Pyconf Delhi. Obviously, the sooner we decide and finalize on a place the sooner the preparations can begin. Personally, from a practical point of view, I believe having an on ground post-Covid experience of organizing an in-person gathering / conference would be of tremendous help to the organizers themselves who does decide to take on PyCon India this year. I'll leave it to the community now to come to a decision. In any case, seeing the enthusiasm on the thread, all of us really do want to see it happen one way or another and get together this year sometime.
