How to justify attending PyCon sprints
Sad that the PyCon sprints fall on business days? Wishing you could stay but the boss/client won't let you and demands you back so 'you can work'? This is how you make it so that the sprints are something your management is demanding you attend every sprint ever.Make it foremost in your mind that the wonderful thing about the PyCon sprints is that the odds are that anyone who knows anything about whatever you are doing in Python will be there.Write up a list of the things that you are finding challenging, hard, or impossible to do with Python.Now go to the boss and say something like: "Because the experts and leaders of the open source tools we are using are going to be there, I want to attend PyCon sprints. All my time at the sprints will be focused on sitting around them and working on our tools. I'll focus on things that directly impact our agency / company / organization, specifically things I wrote down on this list."If the boss says, "Why not just use IRC or email?"Then you say something like, "Well, IRC/email is not the same as sitting next to these people. I'll be so much … -

Software for business
I am starting a new blog. The reason is that I want to keep this one more technically oriented while the other will be more business and customers oriented. Its name is Software for business and the idea is to show to the business in less technical details how the modern IT technologies like CRM [...] -
Connecting Django Models with outer applications
Preface: Sometimes, parts of the data that you have to display in your application reside out of the Django models. Simple example for this is the following case – the client requires that you build them a webshop but they already have CRM solution that holds their products info. Of course they provide you with [...] -
Join the PyCon Early Birds program!
First off, I want to say that me and my fiancee will be attending PyCon US this year! Hooray! Can't wait to see old friends and make new ones. I'll be chairing one of the Panels at the PyWeb Summit on March 8th. We're absolutely delighted to see all the great talks, hang out in the hallway, and just be in the middle of Python for well over a week. Now on to the extremely unofficial PyCon Early Birds program!PyCon early registration ends on January 25th. If you register at the early bird rate that gets you the benefit of joining the elite PyCon Early Birds group. Being a member of the PyCon Early Birds gets you all sorts of incredible rewards and benefits.Most importantly, you get some serious bragging rights.A custom ribbon that says 'Early Bird' that you get to attach to your conference badge.A discounted rate from the regular ticket rate as according to the registration page.The confidence of knowing you have a ticket before they sell out.A tasty and rather edible store-bought cookie provided by myself and Audrey Roy.If the PyCon Early Birds program gets enough members, I'm going to challenge PyCon chair Jesse Noller to stump … -

Why Read the Docs matters
Documenting projects is hard, hosting them shouldn't be. Read the Docs was created to make hosting documentation simple. I think that we have solved this problem well, but now we need to start thinking about the larger picture. Along with hosting, Read the Docs was created with 2 other main goals. One was to encourage people to write documentation, by removing the barrier of entry of hosting. The other was to create a central platform for people to find documentation. Having a shared platform for all documentation allows for innovation at the platform level, allowing work to be done once and benefit everyone. Having run the site for over a year now, I think there is a third thing that we should be striving for. That is to make the quality of documentation better. I think that we can help a documentation culture flourish within the open source world. Django is a shining example of what a project with great documentation can do, and it has a community that values docs more than the norm. I think we can help spread this culture throughout the Python world, and beyond. This has already started, and I want to think about how …
