[pdxdjango] Next PDX Django meeting: Wed May 19th

[Adam Lowry]

Greetings, Djangonauts,

Our next meeting is Wednesday, May 19th, at the usual place & time: 7pm at PIE (1227 NW Davis St). This week we'll hear from Lennon Day-Reynolds about his in-house model migration library, and from Jeff "rozwell" Kistler about fromagerie [1], his private package index reusable app. In addition, we're putting together a few lightning talks covering some of the things new in Django 1.2 [2], which might be in full release by next week.

So far we've got Chris McDonald on what's new in the feed class, myself on the new CSRF protection system. At the very least we should have someone go over the new multi-DB. Any takers? Anyone have another spot jump out at them?

We still need at least one more "What's new" speaker. Multi-DB is probably the most important change, but smaller ones are useful, too.

Any takers? Maximum of 5 minutes, but if shorter gets the job done that's ok.

I'm sorry but I will to miss this despite what I said at the bar after
the pdxpython meeting :(

I need to pick up my daughter from the airport Wednesday night at 8pm.

I really wanted to go, and get some Django tips and perhaps have some
discussion about app-engine/webapp vrs app-engine/Djando comparing and
contrasting.

I'm starting a simple app (farmers market web page, with a few dynamic
features, location, recipes, weather, ect.) It seems that webapp uses
the Django template engine, and I'm thinking of doing a first
prototype in webapp, and then perhaps move to a more full up Django
(mostly to harvest existing Django stuff I could re-use) after getting
something working.

I'll start an email thread on this topic.

Ok, Dermot's on for multi-db. Anyone else? Messages or model validation are good candidates, too.

Here's a link to the slides on Fromagerie I didn't really get around
