All Python/Django-related proposals are welcome. We especially want proposals from: * people who are minorities in the field * first-time speakers (in other words, the people who are less likely to speak at these events). Remember, it's not just experts who have interesting things to say and share, and new perspectives are valuable to everyone. Best of all, you'll be in front of the friendliest and most supportive audience a speaker could hope for. If you are hesitating about making a suggestion, go ahead and make it. It doesn't have to be perfectly composed, it just has to give us a reason to think that you might have something interesting to say. Or, please just ask us. We'll be very pleased to help you formulate your proposal or guide you in the right direction. There'll also be opportunities for five-minute lightning talks. You don't need to register in advance; just put your name down on the day. Anything goes! The last few tickets are still available for the event, if you haven't already signed up.

Our open day remains open however, and you're invited to attend the numerous talks, tutorials and demonstrations in the programme. There are fifteen different sessions in the open day programme, on all kinds of subjects. We may even be able to squeeze in a few more over the coming days. All the sessions are free, and refreshments will be provided. Registration is required so we know how many people to expect, and places in tutorials will be limited. The sooner you register the better it is for us, because we have to plan catering, access and other practicalities - so please do it as soon as you can! Register: One of the purposes of the open day is to showcase Django and Python to the local community - developers, researchers, government and business, school pupils and teachers. We are extremely grateful to the sponsors and supporters of Django Weekend , because they have made this open day possible, and to the numerous speakers and instructors who are presenting these sessions.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Andrea, This is a great idea. The feedback I received from the last DJUGL is that the lightning talks were a success, although some are still of the opinion that there should be longer talks too. Having been involved in DJUGL for a long time, I?ve found that running it quarterly keeps the interest and the level of speakers high. If it?s too often, the numbers drop off and it?s harder to find speakers who are as keen as well as so many venues. For the next DJUGL which should be happening in early March (details to follow in the next couple of weeks) I?m planning two parts of the talks on the night, the first hour will be lightning talks followed by one longer ?headline speaker? talk to give everyone good variety. I have a venue lined up, sponsorship is sorted and I?ll be speaking to some possible ?headliners? in the next week. As this is going out to the UK mailing list, if anyone fancies delivering a lightning talk/headline speaking in March or at a future DJUGL, please shout.

We normally stop about 9.30pm, and go on to the pub. This will probably be a "doing stuff" meeting. There was some discussion of what to do last meeting, but I haven't got a note of what was said. Alternatively, if anyone would prefer to give a talk, feel free - although notice either way beforehand (in reply to this) would be good. Meetings after that will be: ? Tuesday 4th March, a talks meeting ? Tuesday 1st April, a doing stuff meeting ? Tuesday 6th May, another talks meeting See the group for more details. Tibs
