Last meeting

Thank you speech

1. Thank you for contributing your precious time to PyCon India 2023. I would not thank you much as you all have done your tasks within the provided time.
2. Some of you even promoted yourself to do rehearsals as a mentor. That's very kind of you.
3. With the amount of effort and unbiased review that went into the process, there was no doubt the conference Talks and all would be superb. Those are reflected in the social media comments. This will come up as a testimonial on the website soon.
4. Besides all the good things, I had a few setbacks in planning. I could not complete the CFP shortlisting on 3rd September, and it went till 6th September. There are a few more mistakes I made, too. I got a good lesson from those.
5. Again, I would like to thank Dr. Murali as he covered for me whenever I got some other work.
6. You can apply this PyCon India experience to any future opportunities. Thank you, and all the best for your future.

Praises and feedbacks

Thanks all for joining. This is the MoM. I will put up a fine-tuned version on Junction wiki consolidating the feedbacks you gave on the form.

• Sanchit:
  • Chandan's spirit for the conference from last many years.
  • Together, 50 volunteers did well.
• Kalyan: Comments could be more straightforward and polite when replying to Junction and Email.
• Chandan: Diversity, FTC, and Level of Talks were good.
• Ashok: First-time volunteer, all good.
• Sanchit: Female reviewers and the core group needed. Washroom complaints could not be handled.
• Dr. Murali suggestions
  • More time after closing the CFP deadline
  • Without the core team, we could have gone; we need more consistent reviewers.
  • More time for experienced people for 1hr duration talks, we can extract more from the speakers.
  • Poster presentation: we could have done better promotion across universities.
  • The mentorship process could have been started earlier. First-time speakers needed more mentorship.
• Koti:
  • Extending sessions to a few speakers is challenging.
  • Speakers like S Anand and Jaidev said to call them instead of asking for Slides.
    • Murali: Reviewers need to be anonymous.
    • Kalyan: Proposers should also reply to the comments. Add this detail to the CFP page. #TODO
• Aman:
  • Standardization of Outline and Slides. Where to ask for Slides and where to outline.
  • Speaker best practices: We can add don'ts.
  • Speakers put their files but do not give access.
• Sanchit:
  • Document instances where our reviewer and mentor could have responded differently and politely.
  • Asking for a slide, he said I have already given the talk.
  • Speaker feedback form with the reimbursement form. -> Murali and Soumendra #TODO
• Bhanu:
  • Rumanu and others said they want their talks to be private. #TODO
