[TriZPUG] informal Triangle Django Users Group starting

[Josh Johnson]

I agree with Chris.

I honestly don't think the problem has been that we focus on Zope/ 
Plone, it's just that most of the people who talk happen to be doing  
Zope/Plone stuff (it's sort of a group therapy thing ;)).

Like Chris, I'd come to Django-related meetings, even though my work  
focus is different, but I have a hard time justifying the devotion of  
more of my free time for something specific.

I kind of resent the idea that people who know Plone/Zope aren't  
interested in Django and vice-versa. My interest in this group has  
always been python first, and congregating with other python people  
second.
