DjangoCon
July 20th, 2008 | Published in django
The first-ever DjangoCon will be held Sept. 6-7 at the Googleplex in Mountain View, Calif. The preliminary program looks incredible, and I’m sad to be missing it. My summer travels have been plenty and another West Coast trip, especially over a weekend, is a bit too much (there’s also the nagging point that I’d have to pay for it myself!). Matt Waite will be there, on a panel discussing Django in journalism, just one of the really strong sessions. If you’re a West Coast CAR person dabbling in frameworks, it’s worth checking out.
But I’m trying to do my part, beginning with a donation to the Django Software Foundation. Doing so will help pay for conferences like DjangoCon, sprints and other activities that help improve the framework, and it’s such a small thing to do considering the benefits I’ve realized from using Django. If you feel the same way, please think about supporting Django.
