Thanks everyone for submitting the bid for DebConf in India.
If we are thinking of IIT Mumbai as a venue for DebConf 20, then we need to make sure that IIT Mumbai gives us solid WiFi and mobile carrier signals in the campus. During the Mini-DebConf there, we had big issues with internet connectivity. This is something which we can easily fix with help of current students.
We have good volunteer numbers in Pune and Mumbai combined, for on the ground support before the event (if it does happen). Also, Mumbai has many hotels to accommodate a large contingent and the IIT campus is large enough to accommodate multiple parallel tracks. Plus, we have many good sightseeing places nearby the city.

Kerala is a better place according to me.
In 52 years of life thus far I found no other complelling reason to reach there despite it being called "God's Own Country".
It may change with this option... Debcon may be irrelevant for me, Kerala isn't..!
Can you stop insulting and put the proper name 'Debconf' rather than 'Debcon' .
It's insulting.
I second that, always mention it with a proper name DebConf.
Also you took a thread which is happening in debian-india and plugging it in 'plug-in' . Is this some ploy to drive some traffic to 'plug-in' ?
That's like taking somebody's code and claiming it as yours :(
If you have no interest in Debconf then nobody is stopping you from visiting Kerala now or in October/November .
FSF does their thing every year, even Amrita University does a free software program every year, it doesn't need a Debconf to appreciate what Kerala has to offer. You will find more free software activities which happen there all the time, at least much more to what Pune does.

As someone who works in IIT Bombay and a member of Debian, I can make this happen. We have quite a big operation in IITB with regard to FOSS push, and Debian is one of our major work items.

Indeed. I'll be happy to facilitate and participate.
