Whilst I have not turned around and developed an application, I figured I might as well share some of the knowledge I have gleaned with a wider audience. I have reserved the function room for Thursday (27th Nov) at The Lamb http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/10/1093/Lamb/Bloomsbury from 18:30 onwards. I am envisaging an informal evening; meet up and have a beer, and around 19:00 a review of what has been happening with Python & Django in November. After that I'll talk about Facebook, Django and Python. And we can continue having a beer and socialising. If you are interested in coming along, please let me know. Regards, Anand P.S. If you have a projector you can bring along, that would be also handy -- otherwise we might all be crowding around my laptop.

Much appreciated. The consensus amongst those who were able to make it, was that mid-week would be a lot easier for people to get together. With that in mind, people were suggesting the 10th Dec and this time just a festive / pub meeting. We could do it in the same venue -- but we can not reserve any tables; or try another venue closer to Holborn. Any preferences from those who could not make it last night? Regards, Anand
