Re: Django 1.0 or trunk

I think we are overdue for a 'simple apps with django' talk, anyone want to present this in December? On Sat, Nov 08, 2008 at 09:06:18AM -0500, Derek Willis wrote:

If you were tracking trunk before 1.0, you'll probably run into the same issues (like suddenly incompatible code). As long as you aren't running this in production then it's probably fine. If you are running in production, then hopefully you have a test/staging area where you can test out the newest django before breaking everything. It's probably a good idea either way to note which revision you're working off of before doing an update, so that you can roll it back if the worst happened and you just don't have time to bring your code up to speed. -kpd

Re: Django 1.0 or trunk

Derek Willis — 2008-11-08T14:06:18

I think either is fine, although you should definitely assume that 1.0 is safe and stable. Django is now doing timed releases, so trunk will have new features under development, but 1.X releases will have bug fixes, etc. as development continues.

Michael Hans — 2008-11-08T03:32:29

I've stepped away from Django for a couple weeks and now returning with an odd question. Before 1.0 to me it was almost assumed that trunk was the way to go, has that perception changed now? Starting a new project can developers now rely that 1.0 is safe/stable creature for baselining or should i stick with trunk? Thanks Michael

I will be there tonight. For a while.. Then later I will go watch the returns. I will be a little later than 7 getting there though.

Looks like we are not 100% back, as evidenced by the fact I forgot include a link to the event page and directions. Sorry about that! I can assure you we are very friendly! And "teaching Python" is certainly a subject we like to discuss and have discussed in the past. So please, do consider yourself welcome here :-) Unfortunately, I'm now unable to make it down to Science Club tonight and Matt Bowen is short on time as well so I suggest that we postpone to December when we can discuss: - ZPUGDC/Python Meetup in 2009 and beyond. and other exciting Python related subjects. I will update the meeting pages accordingly unless Reed/Chris you guys want to entertain the Python crowd tonight at Science Club ? Alex P.S. Is anyone on the meetup getting these messages? I think our mailing list there may be broken.

Re: We're back! November 2008 gathering of ZPUGDC and Python meetup

Reed O'Brien — 2008-11-03T20:34:55

Normally the meetings are at one of two places and the link to the meeting location directions is included. Usually in DC they are here: http://zpugdc.org/meetings/where/rfa and usually in Arlington they are here: http://zpugdc.org/meetings/where/tnc This particular meeting was cancelled due to election day. But several of us noted we would be happy to get together informally without a presentation. You are **more than welcome** to join us. It is a warm friendly group, I promise. Usually the "more information about this meeting..." link goes to directions, but as this isn't a regular meeting space Alex most likely linked to the place we are gathering. I would assume they have directions on their site (Science Club) but I don't see any on there. I, too, enjoy discussing and learning more about Python. Please do come if you are interested. I am sorry we made it seem click-ish. That is definitely *not* intentional. ~reed

Thanks for the link--but it still does not have directions--ok, I can google that--but when I would like people to actually come to an event I provide DATE TIME PLACE and DIRECTIONS It feels very in-group and unfriendly the way this was done.

We hosted one of their meetings this summer; it was about xmonad (Haskell tiling WM), and it was packed: around 50 people showed up. Fun group, but the meeting schedule seems erratic. Cheers, Kendall Clark
