They will be gatekeepers for all CFP reviews and monitor the CFP review process.

This would help in removing discrepancies and prevent further scrutiny.

Based on the different logo options receiving maximum votes, we will start making design components for the website:

• Heading banner section with navigation (In progress)
• About section - Describing decision to go online (in progress)

List down the infrastructure where we need to get access:

• PyCon India Server access
• Domain/Server Account Details

In [1]: from pycon import India as PyConIndia
In [2]: PyConIndia.year
Out [2]: 2020
In [3]: PyConIndia.location
Out [3]: 'Virtual/Online'

Yes! You saw it right. This year edition of PyCon India is going Online. Follow us for more updates. Until next announcement, stay safe!

• Send an email to suggested review panelist
• Create a charter of people from each domain representing in the review panelist

Need to update the information here.

We are writing the volunteer blog for it as well. cc: @rithin-jose @Sc0rpi0n101

Taking backups of the in.pycon.org VM would require access to the dashboard of E2E networks account owning the VM

PyCon India 2020 Call for Proposals is now open! Head to https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2020/proposals/ for more details.

CFP closes on 14th August, 2020

Happy Proposal Writing!

In order to get good list of tasks, We need to reach out to people for that. Pulling the email of previous years speakers and emailing them will help us to get better speakers.

Select Keynote Speakers from this list - https://github.com/pythonindia/inpycon2020-tasks/wiki/Keynote-Speaker-Suggestions

Once created, comment on this ticket the members of the group.

Draft to posted:

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to delay the Call For Papers (CFP) that was supposed to go live today. The conference is scheduled in October as of now and an update regarding CFP will be posted by next week.

Creating this to track the progress of blog design update work

• Create blog design - In progress by @noblebatman
• Update blog website template in https://github.com/pythonindia/inpycon-blog (Under review at pythonindia/inpycon-blog#282)

Get a list of suggestion from the team who would be in the review panel. This also overlaps with the work of the mentorship panel as we can reach out to the review panel for mentorship

i see two variants of logo one on the website and one on the twitter handle which one are we going with ?

As discussed on the call opening an issue for the discussion and creation of the blog design in sync with the website design.

Can someone give me a brief about the design decision and what the logo/design depicts and why did we go ahead with that particular design?

This information would help me prepare better announcement content for social media channels.

I was looking into last year's tweet when the logo was announced: tweet

• Check where the mail server is deployed and get access
• Update magudi pillar with the email ids of members of PyCon India 2020 team

Zulip sucks and has not worked in past as well for communications , put me onto all the Telegram or Whatsapp groups for communications with working groups

Many people are not aware of roles/responsibilities of different teams. A dependency Graph with Roles/Responsibilities of each team will make it clear.

Need to work on Sponsorship Prospectus, tentative contents:

• Attendee Demographics
• Event Details
• Sponsorship Packages
• Sponsorship Enhancements
• Letter of Intent
• Sponsorship Agreement Form
• Event Terms

Update 16/08 07:13IST: [ @sayanchowdhury ] I have updated the original issue comment to include checkboxes

While updating Junction using Magudi, the salt call errors out at several places.

Note: In 2019, Junction wasn't updated using Magudi it seems. The commit hash on the server is way ahead of what is in Pillar salts.

Currently, we already have created different versions of logos with different color schemes.

We need to confirm the logo based on mailing list votes and the upcoming web design along with WCAG compliance.

Following are the options for logo:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1A0Pw0x2SNW5oS5Nl0FFVerjA4j7gVsrL

The different color schemes are:

• Make a single point for certificate storage on the server
• Write a cronjob to schedule certificate renewal

For now,

1. Ordered sections
2. Copyright footer update

We want to move to Netlify for the static websites + blog and move away from the present PyCon India Server.
Advantages

• Lesser things to manage from the server
• More seamless deployment flow using CI/CD
• Remove confusion with deployment from magudi for website/blog which had more frequent changes than junction
• More visibility on deployment setup

Disadvantages

• Dependence on the deployment platform which may change in future
• Additional cost involved with deployment

Requirements

• Access to PyCon India Domain provider account used to register pycon.afrost.org which is currently linked to in.pycon.org
• Select an appropriate static Deployment platform. Netlify is the preferred choice
• Select an appropriate CI platform - GitHub Actions/Travis CI
• Move to git sub-modules architecture for blog and website
• Come with a documentation for the Deployment Architecture

We need to increase our proposals. One way is to post on other relevant streams, including other community mailing lists, slack/discord/telegram channels.
Please add any relevant community list that resonates with the same:

• BangPypers
• PythonPune
• HydPy
• ChennaiPy
• PyDelhi Mailing list
• PSF-Community

One of the things that makes a conference memorable are the keynotes. Since PyCon India is a community first conference, we want you to suggest who from the diverse Python community you would like to see as this year's keynote. We would do our best to make it possible.

To pass on your suggestion please reply to the email: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/inpycon/2020-March/013023.html

Get status of Magudi, and given Vignesh has move out of the country. It would be great we have a second set of eyes looking into the infra problems.
