Django 1.0 release party
Come help us celebrate the release of Django 1.0!
Next week is going to be huge. We’ll be releasing Django 1.0 early in the week, and then the first DjangoCon kicks next Friday.
To celebrate the release of Django 1.0, we’ll be holding a dinner party at the Tied House in Mountain View on Saturday, September 6th at 7pm. The date and time are designed to tie in with DjangoCon, but anyone is invited — especially those who can’t attend DjangoCon.
We’ve reserved the whole restaurant for Django friends and fans. Dinner starts at 7pm, and the festivities should continue until about 10:30 or so. The party’s free, though the dinner and drinks aren’t. Tied House has good food and great beer; come hungry!
To make the night extra fun, we’ll be holding “lightning talks” at the party — five minute presentations on various Django-related topics. We’ll be asking speakers at the conference to present vastly twimmed-down versions of their conference talks, and we’ll be opening the floor up to anyone to present their own cool shit.
Tied House is located in downtown Mountain View (map). For DjangoCon attendees, that’s about 15 minutes away from the conference venue; we’ll caravan over (and provide transportation for folks without cars) right after the day’s talks end.
If you’ll be coming, please RSVP so that we can get an accurate headcount.
We’re also looking for sponsors for the party, so if you’re interested please contact us.
We hope to see you all there!

Cheers for all those who worked hard for this moment.
It really sounds so good when you work hard for some goal and one day you achieve it.
Congrats to all who contribute to make it success :)

Congrats, wish I could be there, stuck in the UK.
Jeremy August 27, 2008 at 7:11 a.m.
Release party without an open bar? Get a sponsor for that, trust me it will make the networking process all the more effective and enjoyable.
Yuli Cherkashin August 27, 2008 at 7:17 a.m.
True Django spirit in that, no doubt. I so want to be there.
But I reside in The Devil's Butt, so it's a long trip for me, and you don't really want something out of Lucifer's ass attending the release party, right?
You've done and keep doing an awesome job, Team Django.
BillVienna August 27, 2008 at 9:14 a.m.
I wanted to checkout the restaurant web site, but I get 404s. Is it just moi?
Jason Peddle August 27, 2008 at 11:20 a.m.
Can't wait! First time in the US.
John M August 27, 2008 at 1:33 p.m.
Damm, I've gotta find a way to attend this historical event!
Congrats to eveyone who has helped make this possible. I more of a lurker in the project.
Good Luck.

The party can be webcasted?, I think a video source to see it?, I really like to see the 5 minutes presentations live, and maybe if we can setup a local party(I'm @South America) we can show live the event.
Cheers.

I've just finished reading django's definite guide book. I don't have much knowledge about it right now, otherwise, I would definitely attend the party.
