hexagonal Django
by Jonathan Hartley Sept. 11, 2014

Sept. 11, 2014

The last few weeks I've been thinking about the architectural pattern known as Clean, Onion, Hexagonal, or Ports'n'Adaptors <http://blog.8thlight.com/uncle-bob/2012/08/13/the-clean-architecture.html> (http://blog.8thlight.com/uncle-bob/2012/08/13/the-clean-architecture.html). I'm curious if many people are applying it in the Django world? I haven't, yet, but I'm thinking of refactoring a vertical slice of our monster Django app into this style, and I'd love to hear if you think it's crazy / brilliant / obvious / old-hat, etc. Jonathan -- Jonathan Hartley tartley(a)tartley.com http://tartley.com Made of meat. +44 7737 062 225 twitter/skype: tartley

by Tony Ibbs Jan. 30, 2014

Jan. 30, 2014

From our Google Group: he next meeting will be Tuesday 4th February, 7.30pm at RealVNC (http://goo.gl/maps/ktqpS). We normally stop about 9.30pm, and go on to the pub. This will probably be a "doing stuff" meeting. There was some discussion of what to do last meeting, but I haven't got a note of what was said. Alternatively, if anyone would prefer to give a talk, feel free - although notice either way beforehand (in reply to this) would be good. Meetings after that will be: • Tuesday 4th March, a talks meeting • Tuesday 1st April, a doing stuff meeting • Tuesday 6th May, another talks meeting See the group for more details. Tibs

Python/Django lightning talk in London: is anyone interested?
by a.grandi＠gmail.com Jan. 24, 2014

Jan. 24, 2014

Hi, a very quick introduction for anyone who doesn't know me already: my name is Andrea, I'm a Python/Django developer and I moved to London less than 1 year ago. I usually attend Python-Dojo monthly and other events organized by DJUGL and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in organizing a monthly "ligthing talk" evening in London. I'm writing this email to understand if there is enough interest, where we could host it and who we could ask to give these talks. I can volunteer for a couple of talks and with the organization of the event, I just hope to be at a good level for the audience that will attend this. What do you think about? Please let me have your feedback :) Cheers. -- Andrea Grandi - Software Engineer / Qt Ambassador / Nokia Developer Champion website: http://www.andreagrandi.it

Open day at Django Weekend Cardiff
by Daniele Procida Jan. 18, 2014

Jan. 18, 2014

Dear UK Python users, Django Weekend Cardiff <https://djangoweekend.org/> is completely sold out. Our open day remains open however, and you're invited to attend the numerous talks, tutorials and demonstrations in the programme. <https://djangoweekend.org/tutorials-demonstrations/> There are fifteen different sessions in the open day programme, on all kinds of subjects. We may even be able to squeeze in a few more over the coming days. All the sessions are free, and refreshments will be provided. Registration is required so we know how many people to expect, and places in tutorials will be limited. The sooner you register the better it is for us, because we have to plan catering, access and other practicalities - so please do it as soon as you can! Register: <https://djangoweekend-open-day.eventbrite.co.uk> One of the purposes of the open day is to showcase Django and Python to the local community - developers, researchers, government and business, school pupils and teachers. We are extremely grateful to the sponsors and supporters of Django Weekend <https://djangoweekend.org/sponsors/>, because they have made this open day possible, and to the numerous speakers and instructors who are presenting these sessions. Daniele
