I think the events turned out okay. My problem is I want them to be
"brilliant" (or at least better than they are now) and not just okay :)

 i have some suggetsions

I reviewed Code Camp. This is *brilliant* Their philosophy of free and never
during a work-day -- exactly the philosophy I've been trying to follow. I
really like that they gave suggestions to the presenters:

I don't see how to submit a presentation, but I'll work on it. And, this
should be enough time to plan for in October.

Actually, if you're doing this course, I can do Django only -- and, since
it's my first time presenting there, it's better not to bite off more than I
can chew.. I usually keep my mouth too full anyhow.

If you do the Python course, can we make it a prerequisite for the Django
introduction?

Excellent :)

Possibly we can review material and make certain it's complimentary...

If you're doing both a Python and Django presentation, I'd be *very* happy
to do a subversion course....  It seems more applicable to the crowd --
(everyone needs source control of some kind -- regardless of which language
they write in)....


Cheers,


Glen
