[BangPypers] PyCon India 2014: Regular Registration Closing Dates
Us being a very compassionate bunch at PyCon India, we can't bear to see people coming to us and saying they missed buying tickets and asking whether there is anything they could do to attend the event. Unfortunately, the conference venue itself has a limit of ~1000 attendees, we won't be able to fit more people in. Getting to the point, the ticket sales are nearing its very end. Both in terms of time and quantity. Seriously. There are only a few left in both the Regular registration as well as Student registration category. First come, first serve. So, if you really want to come for PyCon India 2014, which absolutely is something that you don't want to miss, then buy your tickets now! Right now! http://pyconindia2014.doattend.com/ Assuming we have tickets left, regular and student registrations will remain open till 31st August, midnight. From September 1st onwards there will only be a single category of ticket priced at Rs. 1500. See you there! ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

[BangPypers] Announcing the 3rd keynote speaker for PyCon India 2014!
Hello people! Surprise, surprise, surprise. What is better than 2? Definitely the answer is 3! We were extremely happy when we announced Kushal Das and Michael Foord as our Keynote speakers for PyCon India 2014 (http://in.pycon.org/2014/ ). Now we are ecstatic to announce our 3rd keynote speaker - none other than Jessica McKellar herself! Jessica McKellar is an entrepreneur, software engineer, and open source developer from San Francisco, California, USA. She is a Director for the Python Software Foundation, PyCon North America's Diversity Outreach Chair, and a maintainer for several open source projects, including OpenHatch and the Twisted event-driven networking engine. For her outreach efforts in the Python community, she was awarded the O'Reilly Open Source Award in 2013. This edition of PyCon India promises to be the best so far and is absolutely going to be one that you don't want to miss. Not just in terms of our 3 excellent keynote speakers, but in terms of the 143 talk proposals that we have as well. We wish we could give all of them a chance, but unfortunately we only have 2 days of conference. Maybe we should consider making it a 5 days conference next year huh? ;) So jump in and vote for your favourite talks now! (http://in.pycon.org/funnel/2014/ ) Oh, and better make sure you grab the tickets (http://pyconindia2014.doattend.com/ )before they are sold out as well.
