Suggestions for future events (maybe 2010/11(?)) : + Alternatively PyCon-India could be held multiple times in a year, in each city which finds enough volunteers (read critical mass) to get such an event going. + Heard a Colombian researcher (at the national coalition meet last week) mention that they hold a day long event for Libre software across 20 cities all over South America. They do this simultaneously as a Libre s/w event. Am not sure if a Python-only event will scale that well across cities.

Yup, ground events/meets/(un)confs is definitely where the action and (daresay) fun is :) My point was wrt the sponsors POV, who may (or not) come on board in future, especially if promised the stars and left undelivered. Not to suggest this will happen but a smaller set of expectations is easier to achieve. Maybe a stock-taking "after" the event, if need be ?? > I think it should not become a "Newbies only" thing.
