Hello everyone,
Just a note to let you all know that we've been reviewing talk and workshop submissions for FUDCon Pune this past week, but won't be able to finish deciding on the accepted talk list till a couple weeks more. We had earlier set the deadline for 3 Apr, we now are revising to 15 Apr.
There have been a lot of submissions, and scheduling time + holidays hampered us meeting to decide on the submissions.
Also, we're asking a few speakers for updating / clarifying their talk abstracts, so that adds to the delay too.
Nothing is blocking on this activity, though, and this delay isn't impacting the final schedule, so we're safe for now.

I think Travel sponsorship is blocking on this activity. Good to get exact number of speaker ASAP. It will give clear picture of how many people we need to sponsor.

Not really, we've decoupled those two by having barcamp sessions. Also we're going to prefer Fedora contributors irrespective of talk sessions being accepted.
For non-Fedora or new contributors we will decide on their requests on merit as well as available budget in addition to talk submissions.

IMHO Fedora contributors whose talks are accepted should get hire priority than only Fedora contributors interested in attending conference.

Its good to get list of these people soon for better clarity.

For cases where we really want to know if a speaker's talk was selected or not before deciding on sponsorship, we have deferred decision till the deadline for requesting sponsorship, so the question of clarity does not arise IMO. Also, the deadline for asking for sponsorship is 30th April and the speaker list will (hopefully) be out much before that.
