Nice to make your acquaintance, Nis! Yeah, I would really like to have some sort of meetup sometime. The 14th is out of the question though, I have work at my old job (night shift at that). This is the last month I work there, so I'll spend the night blocking Visa cards per the requests of drunken swedes, but come October: no more. :-)
I know at least one Django developer here in Malmö, not personally but we have had contact via email briefly. If we put something together I'll let him know, if he's not reading this. Too bad no one else has replied. (Yet, that is.) Where are you, swedes? Nice to hear that you're into web standards too, standards and best- practices are real important to me. I'm an ambassador for WaSP ILG (Web Standards Project International Liaisons Group) in Sweden, btw. Unless you've heard of it, it's a "grassroots coalition" of web-people from all over the world, aiming to promote sharing of knowledge and spreading standards awareness globally, among other things. Just for the record, I'm probably considered a newbie by any standard when it comes to Python and OOP, so I'm just beginning to learn, but I have some fairly strong HTML/CSS skills and a decent general knowledge in the IT field, and I think I'm a pretty fast learner. Which means I'll be in "sponge-mode" and just try to absorb as much as I can when it comes to Django. Or we could just compare rants on the importance of web standards. Over 2+ beers. :-) Let's keep in touch about this, and I hope other swedes (and more danes) join in too. E-mail me directly if there are any specific plans, Nis, and I'll do the same. (Now I'm off to the first day of work as a tutor: wish me luck trying to teach computer beginners find their Home-drive on the school network.)
