Hello Everyone,
Last Thursday we sent the proposal for PyCon India 2020 at Bangalore and we have already started prepping up for the Conference. The date and venue are available on the website[1] now.

We want to start the process of selecting Keynote Speakers for PyCon India 2020. For people new to the conference, the keynotes at PyCon India, are inspiring talks from speakers, that leave a lasting impact on the conference attendees. The keynote speakers also help to tip the scales, for people having second thoughts about attending the conference. This increases participation in the conference and enriches the overall experience of the conference.

As indicated in the CFP MoM we will be having 4 keynote speakers. Please send in your keynote speaker suggestion, to the mailing list. Please send in one keynote speaker suggestion per mail, containing a brief description about the speaker or Speaker Bio Link. If you like a suggestion, use +1 
style voting to indicate preference for a particular keynote speaker.

We will start approaching keynote speakers in the order of preference within next 2 weeks.

As a gentle reminder please do not use top posting for the email thread as it will be harder to follow the conversation.

In case you want join the PyCon India 2020 discussion you join the #2020/discussion stream in pyconindia Zulip [2] domain.

LGTM, just limit lines with 30 or 35 words so that it will be easy to read in mail.

I tried running the above mail through Grammarly. It suggested a LOT of changes.

@ananyo2012 Do you want to sync up on a call regarding this?

palnabarun commented 4 years ago

This is the proof-read content.

Thanks a lot @ananyo2012. @abhishekmishragithub @ananyo2012 Send the email as plaintext and it will be automatically wrapped

ananyo2012 commented 4 years ago

@sayanchowdhury Should we mention the COVID-19 alternative webinar measure we thought in this email ?

sayanchowdhury commented 4 years ago

I don't think so. That is something we can mention while communicating with the speakers.

ananyo2012 commented 4 years ago

Ok. Going ahead with the post
