PSSI is happy to announce that Prabhu Ramachandran, faculty member of Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Bombay is the winner of Kenneth Gonsalves Award, 2014.

Goibibo is yet again the Gold Sponsor for Pycon India 2014, for a consecutive 2nd year.

PyCon has always been more than just a conference. It has been a place where people who have similar interests find each other and have great conversations.

With the event drawing closer, some of you folks might have one or the other engagement unexpectedly popping up, putting your presence at PyCon India 2014 at jeopardy. As much as it breaks our heart to see you go, we understand the situation and are willing to accept a cancellation or transfer.

PyCon India 2014 is happening in a month. As you already know, it is that one time of the year where all the Python enthusiasts come together to share ideas, make relationships, and collectively take the community up to the next level. A lot, and we can't stress this enough, really a lot of stories, hacks, ideas and special moments happen at the conference.

Last year, we celebrated the month before PyCon India as Python Month. It was a huge success with over a 100 institutions organizing Python workshops across different parts of the country.

With just one more month to go for PyCon India 2014, we have shifted gears and switched to hyperdrive. The first-cut of the conference schedule is up! After the long list of proposals being submitted, the community voting and the review process plus confirmation, finally we have everything sorted out and ready to go.

One of the main pain points for outstation participants to attend any event is getting good and affordable accommodation. This year, we have given this matter due consideration. Apart from getting on the road and figuring out hotels nearby the venue and putting them up on the website, we have some more good news to share.

Being a community run event, sponsors are the ones who make PyCon India a reality. The support shown by many organizations over the past years and even this year is heart warming, and much appreciated by the entire Python community, in India and abroad. Apart from letting the world know your generosity by supporting the conference, by sponsoring, the benefits go a long way than just the love of the community.

The first ever Kenneth Gonsalves award was presented to Baiju Muthukadan last year. Read about last year's award ceremony here.
