I'm not a regular so take it or leave it... I believe it's helpful to think in terms of the topic and the content that is presented.
In terms of topics, Django is a subset of Python so it seems fine to me that some non-django-specific topics appear in the Django Meetups. Particularly fundaments like coding style and how to use a debugger/profiler. Having said that, one would probably expect is that presenters at the Django Meetup deliver content that explicitly links the general topic to Django. Without being overly critical (as I thought they were high quality) here are suggestions on how I'd do this for two talks I saw: - How to use the profiler to investigate and optimise a Django view - How to setup pylint to ignore the core Django codebase and 3rd party packages I wouldn't mess with the formula too much as judging by attendance it seems to be working. A tiny bit of up front screening and coaching for the presenters and their topic is probably all that's needed.
