Hey Konark, Thats a lot of support. Thanks for that. I am giving a lighting talk at Pycon this year. I have spoken to Anand Chitipothu regarding that. Yes, I will make sure that I will include all the points that you have mentioned and a little more as well. There has been a lot of support off the mailing list as well.
Keep the suggestions coming. I am sure Pyladies Bangalore will definitely benefit from all of them.
