Yes, we do. And this is the wrong mailing list to ask about Python-Pune
group. Please visit [1] for finding regular monthly meetups.

Hi,

Welcome to the PyCon Pune mailing list!

It is time to decide the dates for PyCon Pune 2018. The format of the
event is the same as last year. We will be having two days for the
conference followed by two days of developer sprints.

We have three options for the dates and you have a chance to vote! The
dates which get the most number of votes will be chosen for the event.
The suggested dates (Thursday - Sunday) are as follows:

* January 11 - January 14, 2018
* January 18 - January 21, 2018
* February 8 - February 11, 2018

Can you tell me why the conference is scheduled during the week and the dev
sprints during the weekend?

I would highly recommend organizing the conference during the weekend and
the developer sprints during the week, which is how PyCon US 17 happened.
If there are tutorial sessions being planned, they could happen before the
weekend. This way, everyone can attend the actual conference without having
to take time off from their work.

Finally, I would suggest using something like doodle (http://doodle.com/)
for voting on which dates are comfortable with the most people. IMO It'd be
easier to get a summary than having to go through an email thread.

Because of two things:

1. We want to create enough value in the main conference that people
should see this
as an investment. By attending the conference we will enrich our knowledge,
which is something important for the conference attendees.
In the 2017 edition we actually had a full house during the weekdays,
so that means
people are interested in coming in a conference which provides value.

2. Having devsprints in the weekend help us to organize it in any
company premises.
This provides certainty that we will not disrupt the day to day
operation of the venue
sponsor.

We decided to track it by using the mailing list. It is easy enough for us.

To elaborate on this, we will strive (as we did last year) to get a
speaker lineup that will justify the potential holiday that people may
have to take to attend the conference.  Additionally, PyCon Pune is
really about the developer sprints with talks being an added (very
lucrative!) bonus, so we want to make sure that we convenience those who
see value in the sprints.

We use Doodle for the kernel meetups because the idea there is simple -
the majority wins and we have full control over other variables.  That
is not the case here though since venue availability and other logistics
will also end up playing a factor and using Doodle will send out the
wrong message of "majority wins" when that may well not be true.

There is no doubt that the PyCon Pune conference adds value to the
participants who attend it. After all, they pay to attend the conference. I
don't see how that makes a difference on the scheduling.

But, the founding principle (?) of PyCon Pune that dev sprints take center
stage, with talks being an addition helps understand the scheduling. So
does the fact that holding the dev sprints on the weekend so as to provide
flexibility in venue.

Finally, are there any tutorial sessions being planned for this PyCon Pune?
There were none the last time, IIRC. I think there is enough interest in
basic and advanced tutorials, on topics ranging from Python to the
ecosystem of libraries we use on a daily basis.

Yeah, the venue bit is secondary for me personally since I am confident
we can come up with something more reliable this time, but I know Kushal
has a different opinion about it :)

That idea is still kinda in play.  It's not final yet because we don't
know yet how to schedule them in a manner that does not undermine the
developer sprints and talks.  Nisha had expressed interest in doing a
Python for kids tutorial and that seems like something that can run in
parallel with the dev sprints, but for anything else, we will have to
think a bit more.

Also there is the problem of trying to do many things at once, we want
to make sure we build up slowly through the years and not commit a
massive budget in just our second conference :)

That said, I'd say keep specific suggestions for tutorials coming in and
we can then figure out if/how we can accommodate them.  If nothing, we
could do something via reserved-bit that can lead up to the main conference.

I'm sorry for not being clear but I meant that the tutorial sessions could
happen before the conference i.e. on Wednesday. Again, this is what PyCon
US traditionally follows, AFAIK.

Organizing the tutorial sessions alongside dev sprints also makes sense
because not all conference participants might be up for the dev sprints.

Ahh. Monies. Makes sense to take things slowly and be cautious with the
budget.

Also, I apologize if I'm poking my nose but is there a sponsorship
prospectus being worked on? I couldn't find one on last year's PyCon Pune
webpage.

Finally, I apologize to everyone for muddying this thread, which was meant
for something else entirely. If there is a different thread or avenue where
I can follow discussions on the organization of upcoming PyCon Pune, please
let know.

Cheers,
Rahul :)

Oh OK, no, I don't think we have budget for that at the venue.  Again,
may be possible at reserved-bit, but it doesn't make sense to make it
part of the conference since we can't scale that well in the makerspace.

Don't apologize :)

Yes, Sayan is working on the prospectus and once the date is final we
should have one ready to send out to prospective sponsors.

This is the list to stay in touch with the organization and to volunteer
as well if you have the bandwidth.

People drive in the right in the US, while in India it is mostly on the
left (and sometimes on the right :).

In a community, you are welcome to give suggestions, but, you also need to
give sufficient justification for the same.

What works in the US need not necessarily work in India.

Hi,

Just to check in quickly, Amanora "The Fern" is available only for the
11th Jan and 8th Feb slots, they're booked for the 18th Jan slot.  We
should probably look at other venues as well if we want to keep 18th as
an option and also to give us an alternative to bargain against.

Any preferences?  We can reach out to Conrad (it's on Mangaldas Road and
has similar capacity) and Radisson Blu (similar capacity again) as
options.  Any other options?

Independent of this, lets decide on a date and start with the
sponsorship brochures.  Those should go out in the next week or so.

Yes, the main design work is still in progress. But, the initial
website is almost done. Hopefully, it should be deployed within next
1-2 days.

This seems to a good option considering we won't be clashing with 
FOSSDEM (hopefully seeing the last years trend)

Thanks you all for your opinions.

The third options is the one we all going ahead with i.e. February 8 -
February 11, 2018.

The reasons for not selecting the other two was:
1st option: As Shakthi mentioned about the festivals clashing with
this dates, this option was ruled out.
2nd option: The venue has been booked so we cannot choose this option.

So, we were only left out with the third option.
