I can help. I am available after 12th March. But to handle about 150
people, who are new to Python we will need about 10 - 14 volunteers who
are familiar with Python. These volunteers will help with
troubleshooting and clarifying basic questions, during hands-on practice.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi All,
I am from Central University of Pondicherry (http://pondiuni.edu.in/).
We are inaugurating a club / community of students, professors &
technicians inside the University to promote Freedom of Knowledge
(Free Software, Open Access, etc.,). We also have mobilized people
from various schools of Engineering & Sciences who were interested
with this.
We are looking for a someone who could introduce Python to a crowd of
150+ (comprised of Students, Teachers & Technicians). I have been part
of Chennaipy for more than a year till now. I also gave a talk at one
of Chennaipy's meetup (end of 2014, I remember). We wanted to invite
people from outside to deliver a talk / hands-on session, I can assist
the speaker with technical needs during the session.
We have also sent out invitation to Dr. Ajith Kumar, Scientist(H) at
IUAC (http://www.iuac.res.in/) which he accepted.
For the past several years he has been involved in promoting Free
Software tools in Education and leading a project for developing open
hardware laboratory equipment for teaching science, that uses Python
for data analysis and visualization. Has been pursuing academic
community to include Python in their syllabus and has written a book
on Python. Some of the details are on the website expeyes.in
<http://expeyes.in>
Here is our agenda in brief. It's a 2 Day workshop.
Day 1 - Common to people from all Schools & Departments. Getting
Started with Python. We are looking for resource person for Day 1 (the
reason for writing this mail).
Day 2 - Two Parallel Sessions
1. Python for Physicists, Mathematicians, & Scientists (Dr. Ajith Kumar)
2. Advance Python for Computer based Streams, Multimedia, etc., (We
also need speaker for this).
We couldn't confirm the date yet. But we are trying our best to
organize this within 2 weeks. If someone could reply here or can
contact me off the list that would be better.
