Most definitely! Community-wise there's a low volume mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/pdxdjango And an IRC channel: #pdxdjango on Freenode Professionally, I'll just shamelessly promote Chris Pitzer and I's web development consultancy: Lo-Fi Art[1]. Urban Airship[2] was just officially launched, and I know they're Django users. Chris & I have definitely found a *lot* more Ruby on Rails shops & freelancers in Portland than Django shops. Guess thats good news for us right? ;-) Although the community may be too small as we've heard the same complaint about finding Django devs as you mentioned someone having with Zope/Plone. Chris & I will do our best to scale, and any Django freelancers out there please contact me (off-list is probably best?)! There may be a Django Lunch tomorrow (6/9/09), check the list. Started by Michael Richardson[3] iirc. I don't make it to that nearly as often as I'd like. As for a specific project to pair on, the Django lunch or the Portland Python Users Group would be excellent places to discuss that idea further!
