Bangalore

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 team of people in Bangalore (BangPypers is more active than ChennaiPy).

• 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 enthusiasm from the Chennai team has slowed as September draws closer :/

Cons

• Traffic Problem.
• 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.

Cons

• humid climate
