Makes sense. I will add that as well. > 1. The Aims listed on the Draft page are huge in terms of scope and > would take more than one conference to achieve. Best aim for the stars. In any case, I wanted to start us off. I'm not really clear on what a 'proposal' should contain as of now. We should trim down the aims though. > 2.

I'm not sure if any of the other python groups in India are planning a conference, if so, I think we should talk with them to decide the venue. If not, we can (atleast this year) hold it in BAngalore somewhere. > The "ProposalForPyConIndia" wiki page has a community discussion > section with varying opinions.

I think it should not become a "Newbies only" thing. People who have been hacking python for a long time should have good reason to come as well as the newbie. > 1. Please clarify/define "dedicated conference".

The conf planning page was a nice read :) so > how about a "volunteers" page ? Youre' right. We should try to keep the costs low. I however don't want to miss anything which we want and hence went for a rather over the board proposal (as you've noted). Let's work on trimming it down. -- ~noufal
