We'd like to announce the first Django Dash (http://www.djangodash.com/) to the community. Django Dash is a web application building competition for Django developers. The gist is that you and (optionally) one other person can form a team and have 48 hours to crank out a full Django application. Your application will then be pitted against others for bragging rights (and hopefully some prizes).
====== What Is Django Dash? A 48 hour, start-to-finish race to produce the best Django-based web application you can. Mostly for fun/bragging rights but we're working on upping the ante. Who Can Compete? Anyone but myself and (hopefully) three other judges, though this is subject to change depending on popularity. When Is It? We'll be hosting the Dash on May 31 - June 1, 2008. Where? We're running this over the web, so you can be anywhere you like. Coffee shop, work (though we're not responsible for the ramifications of that one), at home, wherever you can find internet access and power. How Can I Compete? First, please peruse the rules and judging information at http://www.djangodash.com/. We will be opening registration for teams on May 3, 2008. You're not allowed to start anything but ideas and paper mockups until the competition begins on May 31, 2008. Why? It's a chance to test yourself and push your limits. A chance to show people what you're capable of. Maybe some exposure. But mostly because we've found competitions like this to be a lot of fun. ====== More details can be found at http://www.djangodash.com/. We will keep it updated as things develop. If you're interested in competing in the Dash, we'd appreciate if you'd fill out the mini-email form on the front page so we can get an idea of how many people are interested. How can I help out? The Dash is really missing two things right now. First, we'd like to have three fair judges signed on to help judge the apps once the competition is over. Second, we're looking for sponsors who can provide prizes as awards. No minimum/maximum dollar value is required/requested. More details on this can be found at http://www.djangodash.com/sponsors/. Thanks and hope to see some of you competing!
