Apologies if this is a bit off-topic, but Django has it's roots in online news, so I thought this would be relevant to some folks on this list:
Mozilla, Hacks/Hackers, Medill School at Northwestern University, and The Media Consortium are collaborating to run a free online course for journalists and programmers on the Peer-to-peer University platform. This is an experimental six-week course exploring the ways that technology is changing news production and how professional journalists & programmers can work together to innovate around these changes. Here's the tentative course outline: + The fundamentals of journalism and coding + Project management + Edit it. Fork it. The art of collaboration and journalism + Big Ugly Datasets For Thumb-Fingered Journalists + Maps. Maps. Everywhere + Data journalism and government You can read more here: http://p2pu.org/general/open-journalism-open-web We are specifically looking for a few more programmers with an interest in learning about journalism to join the course, as we're heavy on "hacks" and light on "hackers" at the moment. We'd really like to have an equal number so that folks can work in teams -- you know, like pair programming. ;-) If you're interested, contact me directly here: http://p2pu.org/users/phillipadsmith and let me know a bit about yourself, your experience, what you might contribute to the course, and what time zone you're in. Many thanks in advance, Phillip. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group. To post to this group, send email to django-us...@googlegroups.com.
