Re: DjangoCon 2011

Have you guys seen adoptahacker.com? I'm sure that Jon Wegener and the team at New Work City would be happy to help with finding places for visitors to stay (as in couches/extra rooms). In terms of getting hotel rooms sponsored, we might be able to VCs to offer sponsorship for this (though we

Steve, This seems totally reasonable. Looking at this from a different perspective, given that there are a large and increasing number of python-based startups in NYC, would it make a difference re: which city was chosen if we (in NYC) were able to solicit sponsorships from VCs and tech firms

Re: DjangoCon 2011

Without wishing to seem non-responsive, can I just point out that we can't keep extending the search indefinitely. First of all, we need to make a decision reasonably quickly.Secondly, these venue searches take time. While it costs nothing to "toss something out there", there *are* costs involved

It seems like no one has suggested New Orleans yet, so I'm just going to toss that out there. -Johnny On Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 7:31 AM, Franklin Einspruch wrote: > You might also have a look at Providence, RI. There's an airport, it's > an hour from Boston by car,

Re: Re: DjangoCon 2011

You might also have a look at Providence, RI. There's an airport, it's an hour from Boston by car, and they have an active tech community there: http://rinexus.com/ http://providencegeeks.org/ http://www.pbn.com/Schillings-38-Studios-signs-lease-at-One-Empire-Plaza,52603 Good restaurants abound

Re: DjangoCon 2011

There seemed to be a general feeling that a change of venue should head Eastwards rather than South. So we are looking primarily for East coast locations as an alternative to Portland for 2011. regards Steve On 9/27/2010 11:49 PM, David Zhou wrote: > Is the bay area right out for cost reasons?

Re: DjangoCon 2011

I live on the east coast, but the past two DjangoCons have caused me to fall in love with Portland. It would be a treat for me to get to go there again in 2011. In fact, if it's in Portland next year I plan to make a family vacation of it. So, that's my vote, for whatever it's worth. Hope to
