Do you wish to submit a proposal to PyCon India 2021 but cannot figure out the flow of your talk or how to present it?

Do you have that one lighting topic that can make the Pythonists feel awesome? (Silicon Valley Fans, Assemble!)

Did you solve anything great in Python recently and think it would be great to share it with others?

You have been working in Python for years and interested in presenting your first conference talk?

We know it's not always easy to find the right words when you have something to share. It happens to the best of us. But no need to worry, we’ve all been there. The PyCon India mentorship team is here to help you out with your proposal. Whether you are submitting a proposal at PyCon India for the first time or you are a veteran speaker with years of experience behind you, our mentorship team will guide you through the process and help you wherever required in a number of ways as mentioned below. We want to help you put your best foot forward when it comes to submitting proposals!

### **Open Mentorship calls**

In the hopes of providing better opportunities and assistance for first-time speakers at PyCon India 2021, we are starting weekly mentorship calls. This would be an open call for participants and potential speakers to interact with PyCon India mentors to review, share, and discuss draft proposals. Details of the call are as follows:

* **Date:** Weekly on Saturdays
* **Time:** 15:00 to 17:00 IST
* **Platform:** Google Meet - Join with the [invite link](https://meet.jit.si/PyConIndia21Mentorship)

This way you can interact with the mentorship team instantly and clear out queries on a more real-time basis.

### **Reviewing Proposals**

Whichever platform you choose to opt for interacting with the mentors, you would be asked to share a Google document with comment access to a mentor, who will then review and help you polish the draft. If you don't get any response in 48 hours, please send a ollow up message to [#wg/mentorship](https://pyconindia.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/245487-wg.2Fmentorship/topic/pre-cfp-21) on Zulip. And that’s all you need to do.

Hope this helps in the process of framing a proposal and make it easier for you to apply for a talk at PyCon India. After all, PyCon India is a community-driven event and our foremost priority is to help you learn and grow. So, keep your worries aside and just keep on submitting them proposals. If you need any help, we are just a text away!

P.S. Looking forward to reading your proposal.

Summary: Announcing talks based on Web development in PyCon 2021.

## Core Python in 2021 & where is it heading?
Core Python in 2021 & where is it heading?
Core Python - just as a programming language, far easier to understand than C / C++. Acts as a base for any kind of application - from command line apps, security apps, web apps.

Python is a developer-friendly language, since the syntax is simple it makes it easy to learn. As the web comes into the picture, using python for your project will make it easy to find developers. To overcome in performance standpoint where python was behind java and javascript due to its synchronous nature interpreters like PyPython are emerging better. In terms of community, python has huge community support. it will make it easy to debug and make your program running. Python has a wide variety of libraries. If your product has a need for those libraries then python can become the best choice of language for anyone who needs to achieve something like a batch job or so.

## Where does Core Python play its part?
Starting from data science to nuclear plants python is used due to its simple but powerful nature. So learning python can help us to automate any process. With large community support, it's easy to sail through this vast sea of programming with this ship Python.

Summary: Announcing talks based on Web development in PyCon 2021.

## Web Development in 2021 & where is it heading?
In this era of social distancing, minimizing physical contact and human-to-human infraction becomes critical. In this space "web development" has become a very large scope. Any work done through physical interactions requires a digital alternative. Now many enterprise applications started to be built over Python. New frameworks like "Fast API" are coming up with many advantages like async support. Django is also getting matured and getting towards easy to learn.

## Where does Python play its part?
As I mentioned above there will be a large need for automating things that have been done earlier through physical human interaction. To meet such high demands a large number of developers will be required by the market. This makes web development an important skill to be learned in 2021.
