Help PyCon India '19 discover the hidden gem of Pythonista speakers in India, from diverse backgrounds and experiences. https://forms.gle/pUm6VxKXinsE5bpb6

Hint: You can be that gem too.

I am starting grow little skeptic about this @sharmi We can give it a try if you want. There seems to be no motivation for people to do this.

This is not the case with recommending women speakers, because the women-in-tech are standing up for each because of a shared common cause. They want to change the status-quo.

So it is better to target specific crowds, that feel strongly for each other, rather than the general crowd. Let me know your thoughts on this.

We can send this out to specific communities like http://www.visionaid.org/about-vision-aid where people stand for each other. And another is http://inclusivestem.org/
