Bangalore

The poll had around 100 people voting with around 64 percent for Bangalor and 36 for Chennai.

Pros

• Held it there last year. Twice in the same city rule useful for remote delegates.

  • It also helps to learn from past mistakes and smooth out any rough edges in the second year. Larger volunteer traction can be generated.

• Larger number of small sponsors in Bangalore (is this really true?)

• More convenient climate and location for delegates from the North .

• If held twice in a row, its easier to negotiate contracts with vendors on the basis of repeat business.

• Bangalore weather is nicer and the initial.

• The Poll results are in favour of Bangalore

Cons

• Accommodation, Auditorium and Food are expensive.

Chennai

Pros

• High amount of enthusiasm shown by ChennaiPy and some ground work already done.

• Good student participation from Chennai last year.

• Change in PyCon location would create awareness about Python in Chennai and would be helpful for college students.

• Kausik has met people at the recent Barcamp which indicates enough volunteers for ground work.

Cons

• humid climate

  • Decent climate in September/October.

• Farther away from the North

  • People will be taking flights anyway. If it’s train, it’s just a few hours more than Bangalore
