This one was more for local volunteers from Pune as I understood after
reading the
piratepad.

PyCon India happens in a different way and following a complete different
structure. The community is also different. FUDCON is much more focused
to the Fedora developers and users than anything else.

Fedora always welcomes new people to join in to the project. Most of
the conference
work, which is supposed to be done before the event, has to be done by the local
city volunteers.
