To all whom it may concern: Some djangonauts from #django-de would like to meet informally at this year’s 24C3, the Chaos Communication Congress organized by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC), Berlin Germany, probably sometime on friday afternoon. Just drop us a line at IRC or leave a comment here. And stay tuned for more.
Howto use Django on a Virtualmin server
The setup and administration of a shared-hosting server is of course quite a topic. I don’t want to go into too much detail about that, because it’s beyond the scope of this tutorial. I assume you have a running Virtualmin (Pro) server and the need to enable each user to run Django in the shared environment of your root server.
German Django community - Deutschsprachige Django-Community
Despite yesterday’s bitter-sweet post I’m very proud to announce the availability of a new meeting point for all German-speaking Django developers and users: Django-de. We totally owe David Larlet and his pals of Django-fr a barrel of beer since most of Django-de’s backend comes from them. Meeting cool people during the Django sprint last weekend in Dresden and afterwards also speeded things up and got this community thing started.
Our first goal should be the translation of Django’s trunk documentation which becomes 1.0’s docs in the near future, just like django.es and django-fr.org are already doing. If you’d like to participate in the growing Django community, please hop over to Django-de and get in contact with us at the Django-de Google Group or #django-de at Freenode.
PS: I know, writing this post in English seems weird to me, too.
Django’s Hotclub of France
Dear Djangonauts,
I’m a little baffled right now and I guess you all have a lot to do, so please forgive me if I’m disturbing. Going back to the begin of the Google summer of code, my mentor James and I discussed the best strategy to start implementing reusable Django-apps and the so-called “Hotclub of France” conventions (e.g. a public web repository for reusable apps). Unfortunately, a real discussion did not really take off, neither on the discussion list nor on IRC.
It now seems to me as it could just be to early for Django to have such a repository. Everybody, including me, loves to fiddle with Django in some degree and is suspicious of automatic and ready-made products. After creating ticket #6080 I’m a little tired of bringing up the same arguments again and again on the net. That’s why I wanted to ask you, if you generally see a chance for this to come before Django 1.0 and how you handle this at your projects if at all.
