DjangoCon & Django 1.0 updates
A couple of quick updates:
DjangoCon tickets
Tickets for DjangoCon will be made available in a couple of batches of 100 tickets each. The first set of tickets will be available at 12:00pm (noon) UTC on Thursday, July 31st, and the second set will be released at 6:00pm UTC on Friday, August 1st. We’ll add a registration link to djangocon.org at those times.
Update: tickets are sold out.
We’re very sorry that we couldn’t accommodate more attendees; we’re limited by a tight schedule and a limited budget. The good news is that all the talks will be videotaped and made available online for those who can’t attend.
Django 1.0 release schedule
We’ve been plowing ahead towards Django’s 1.0 release in early September. Since last week’s 1.0 alpha release we’ve continued to make some pretty nice improvements, including more flexible syntax for admin registration, support for custom cache backends, and “else” option for the “ifchanged” tag, and — the biggie — support for intermediary models in many-to-many relations.
We plan to release Django 1.0 beta in about a week. This first beta release will mark feature-freeze for 1.0, so this weekend’s sprint will be critical in getting the final features for 1.0 wrapped up and out the door. We’d love to have your help this weekend!

I also like the "patch" of tickets part. It shows me that you're really working on that 1.0 release.

Nice!! That was my only concern :)

Great! Making the talks available on video is such a nice touch!

Wow! I didn't even realize the M2M addition. Glad to see that's made it into the 1.0 release! Doesn't make Composite PKs any easier ;)

I'd just like to point out that tickets to DjangoCon are limited. The Django folks might be too nice to say it, but I'm not...
Please register only if you are actually going to attend! Don't just hold a spot for yourself then not show up. That's just rude.

You are never "too nice" Leah! :D

On djangocon, a lightning talk session seems to be scheduled at Aug 7th lunchtime. Is the session opend for participants, or already organized?
I'd like to apply for LT if I can get a ticket :)

Lightning talk signups will be at the conference itself; they're supposed to be spontaneous.

No golden ticket for me.
Have a good time!

Would be awesome to find really all talks online later.
