How about the Condorcet or the Schulze (internal elections?) method, both of which iirc are used by debian. If its too complicated a procedure, maybe each voter could write the number next to their name indicating first, second, third... choice.

Re: [BangPypers] What's the latest with Pycon India?

When you are having a **real** conference, we must have a few **real** meetings for organizing them. Frankly there were too much of line noise during the last virtual meetings we had... There was little clarity on many things. Concur, as I dont parse IRC conversations well with too many folks speaking at the same time. Anyway the bigger confusion was about the scope/goal, probably because there were too many ideas and suggestions, which are great in itself, but its the implementation that worries me. Too many ideas and too few volunteers is the part where I am stuck at. Before a F2F, wouldnt it be better to take a roll-call on tasks and volunteers on the list or the wiki and then take a step at a time? At the first irc meet, I had volunteered to handle the media and publicity for the conf. -- ciao, || Vid || http://www.svaksha.com || ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

Re: [BangPypers] PyCon India Proposal

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. Anyway, ideas dont cost (not as much as implementing them :)) The PyCon (US) used to accept everyone, including newbies; sometimes non-coders also coming as speakers. They have tutorials targeting non-hard-core programmers. Remember, Python is a language which can be learned within one month (or one week ? ;) +1.

I'm not really clear on what a 'proposal' should contain as of now. We should trim down the aims though. 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. People who have been hacking python for a long time should have good reason to come as well as the newbie. true, this also depends on how the tracks/sessions are planned, speakers, etc... which a structured conf has more control over, unlike say an unconference (the analogy is probably not correct since the focus is different for each event). Dedicated meaning that we're not planing to be part of a larger event like foss.in. vielen danke for including low hanging fruit like me :) @Bani : Hi *wave* long time no see :) -- || Vid || http://www.svaksha.com || ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

I can probably pitch in for stuff like writing the proposal and talking to companies. i would help with the above (and the local media) but wanted to discuss some things on thelist instead of editing the wiki and annoying folks. Good ideas. I have a page at http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyConIndiaProposalDraft which I'm working on. 0. Should'nt this page include the proposed dates (September 4,5,6 (Baiju M)) or is that still under discussion ? 1. The Aims listed on the Draft page are huge in terms of scope and would take more than one conference to achieve. 2. Would this be held only in Bangalore or would it be possible for local groups in different cities to hold their own 1/2/3 day events? The ProposalForPyConIndia wiki page has a community discussion section with varying opinions. Before editing I wanted to clarify the following: 0. Earlier discussions on this list gave an impression of the conf being open to all (read newbies) but this is not clear on this wiki page. Has that changed? 1. Please clarify/define dedicated conference. (As in, is the pyconf open to people like me who dont code for a living and yet grok technical concepts?) +1 for the low budget, sans swag concept but some clarity on what is the scope of the event, since its being held here for the first time, would be a lot nicer. The conf planning page was a nice read :) so how about a volunteers page ? -- || Vid || http://www.svaksha.com || ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
