[Baypiggies] Contract Developing: An impromptu Meet after BayPIGgies Meeting Thursday

[Glen Jarvis]

BayPIGgies is this Thursday. I sent an email a few days ago trying to help
my customers get other developers (because I've just gotten too busy with a
new job).

What I found was that a lot of developers were interested. They either
hadn't don't Django yet or didn't know how to contract. I shouldn't be
surprised, I've seen this a few times in the past.

So, I've invited my customers to the meeting on Thursday. One is already a
regular. Both are interested in coding on some level themselves but want
more experienced developers to help them.

After our meeting is over on Thursday, we'll have a quick impromptu
meeting. Not only does this help introduce a lot of people to each other,
it also helps new developers answer some questions. How do you get a Django
contract? What's involved? Do you need a business license? How do taxes
work? How much experience do I need already? etc.   We can only answer
questions on a high level on Thursday, but anyone is involved.

There really is a need for a small course in learning how to develop as a
contractor. If you're interested in sharing your knowledge, or learning,
feel free to pop by for our impromptu meeting after the BayPIGgies talk.

Cheers,


Glen
