In response to the recent discussion of SOPA on the django-dev list (and to the recurring phenomenon of having no clearly defined space to congregate to discuss "deeper" issues), I have started a new google group, django-deeper.
As a relative newcomer to the django community, I have been overwhelmed by the awesome vibes. Djangocon 2011 was one of the best conferences (probably top 5 even) that I've ever been to. >From the very first peek at the project, it's clear that django has a much sharper focus on community building than is typical for a software project. The emphasis and effort on documentation, for example, sends a strong signal that "this is not just a piece of software, it's a group of passionate people." The mature and open-minded atmosphere of the django IRC presence also suggests this. As the django community expands in breadth and in depth, we need a way to ensure that our underlying aspirations - expressed sometimes in the form of python code but sometimes as political, philosophical, or psychological prose, are likewise cultivated. My hope is that django-deeper will provide a forum for those of us who welcome growth in this direction. http://groups.google.com/group/django-deeper -- Justin Holmes Head Instructor, SlashRoot Collective SlashRoot: Coffee House and Tech Dojo 60 Main Street New Paltz, NY 12561 845.633.8330 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
