Hey, I haven't been doing much meetup lately but I always enjoyed the djugl.. organizing talk is hard (I think that the London Django meetup know well about that) and I'm very thankful to Jon and his team to spend the time of doing it. If they do that from interest, I'm 200% fine with that as the

Thanks Anand, There are some interesting points raised. I love that the Django community has grown so much in recent years. Likewise the number of events happening in London, each offering something different. One thing that I have always encouraged at DJUGL if for speakers to promote the fact th

Jon, I, for one, appreciate the efforts you have made to dispel the stereotype of a recruiter. If only all recruiters were as conscientious as you. I guess the lesson learned here is to, er, flag such events asap on this list so they get the visibility they rightly deserve. Given enough notice,
