Hello everyone, Though I understand that everybody wants to be able to attend the meetups, on the scale we are talking about here (+45 on the last Django meeting) it is simply not possible to please everyone. So whatever date gets picked, not everyone will be able to join in. That's just the way it is.
Furthermore the event is entirely sponsored, the ABC will host us this year for free and to be able to make use of such a generous offer we need to adapt to their schedule (paying customers go first, of course). Also w've noticed that having a rhythm like: every last wednesday of the month every 3 months (for the Python meetup t), works out in making sure that people can anticipate on upcoming events. The next Django meetup is also already planned, so I hope you'll be able to free your agenda and be able to attend. But let's just not try to find a date that works for everybody, since trying to do that for a group of over 50 people means that there simply will no be a next Django meeting/Python meetup.
