Hi everyone,

We would like to submit an official proposal to organise PyCon India

has been a while and we are eager to bring it back.

Other tracks such as poster presentation, hallway tracks, and so on

We've been able to bring in an initial team to make the event
successful (in no particular order).

The above is not an exhaustive list, and more people will be joining
in. We welcome anyone and everyone to join us, especially our previous
year organizers, to help us organize a great conference. We’ll be
following the same working groups model and hope the shadows from last
year to take on more involved roles.

Mediums of Communication:
All Moderators coordination - WhatsApp (temporary)
Individual team workgroup coordination - based on convenience
All Volunteers coordination - WhatsApp (temporary)
Community-wide communication + Periodic updates - InPyCon Mailing List
Social Media - Twitter/LinkedIn/Insta/Facebook
Task Management tools - Github

We would appreciate everyone's go-ahead to proceed further. Once
finalised, we'll officially start with public volunteer calls on each
workgroup as needed.
If you have any questions, suggestions, feedback or concern, kindly
bring to them to our notice here.

Cheers,
Kumar Anirudha
