Bangalore

The poll had around 100 people voting with around 64 percent for Bangalor and 36 for Chennai.

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 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.
• The Poll results are in favour of Bangalore

Cons

• 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.

• Kausik has met people at the recent Barcamp which indicates enough volunteers for ground work.

Cons

• humid climate
  • Decent climate in September/October.
• Farther away from the North
  • People will be taking flights anyway. If it's train, it's just a few hours more than Bangalore
