Django turns 10! A birthday party for a web framework :D
Details
Django's turning 10 years old this month! Come join us for a humble celebration of a web framework and its awesome community!
This will be an informal event - we'll have snacks and drinks for people to enjoy as they swap stories about using Django over the years. There will also be a few prizes to raffle off, including copies of the excellent best practices book Two Scoops of Django (http://twoscoopspress.org/).
Instead of a structured talk, we'll open the microphone for a few minutes to let people share short personal stories about anything related to Django - using it, learning it, participating in the community, or even your favorite features or third-party libraries.
We hope everyone can make it for this very special Django-district - even if it's the first one you attend! It's not every day a web framework turns 10 :D
Agenda:
• 6:30-7:30pm - Show up, grab a drink, eat some snacks, and catch up with folks
• 7:30-8:00pm - Short lightning talks about Django and you (sign up at the event)
• 8:00-9:00pm - Keep chatting, snacking, and drinking
Sponsors:
We need a little extra help to make this event a success! iStrategyLabs (http://istrategylabs.com/) is graciously hosting us, but we need corporate sponsors for:
• Food - potentially more than our usual meetup
• Drinks - alcoholic and non-alcoholic
• Raffle prizes - we have a couple Two Scoops copies, but it would be nice to raffle other things (like High Performance Django (http://www.amazon.com/High-Performance-Django-Peter-Baumgartner/dp/1508748128))
Sponsors get a special shout out during the announcements and Andrew's undying gratitude. Please email him (andrew@atbaker.me) if your company can help!
