Are people interested in what's coming in Django 1.4? I can briefly give an overview of the most exciting 1.4 features and the backwards incompatible changes that just came out of the new development release.

I think a Django 1.4 lighting talk would be awesome. I'd be happy to share some experience with developing multilingual sites and with testing fixtures (including fixture generators).

I can talk about the django app I wrote for CFPB that integrates EC2, Github Enterprise, and Fabric to allow staff to spin-up (and configure) development servers. I wrote a bit about it here: http://karchner.com/2012/01/11/github-ec2-integration-opp...

Multilingual sites and integration with EC2/Github/Fabric sounds great to me. I'd be interested in hearing longer talks on them as well if that's a future option

Matthew: +1 on Django 1.4.

Ariel: I'm +1 on multilingual and could compare with how we've been tackling similar problems.

I can talk about the monitoring work I've been doing using Graphite and Sentry

Chris, Graphite and Sentry sound like great topics, individually or together

Please correct if the following is incorrect... sounds like we have..
Matthew Makai - What's coming in Django 1.4
Ben Lopatin - Sharing experiences w/ developing multilingual sites & w/ testing fixtures. (Ben - is this one talk or two? - Just want to make sure that I have this down correctly.)
Ross Karchner - Integrating EC2 + Github
Chris Adams - monitoring work w/ Graphite & Sentry

@Matthew
RE: Longer talks, may we can turn some of these into future meet ups if there is enough interest. :-)

Heh, seems like I used the wrong comment window to suggest Translations and here Ben beat me to it :)
I could also do a lightning talk about Debian Packaging for Django projects. Or perhaps about 'On the fly' Dynamic Django Model creation (and registration in the Admin) using Shapefiles and the GeoAdmin as an example. Is there appetite for any of those two?

Actually, my suggestions were two talks. Unless you'd prefer to do one of those other talks, Ariel, I'll do a lightning talk on fixture generators.

Sounds like a great idea! Ben, I like the idea of Fixture generators. I would also like to talk about Django-Chartit.

@Praveen - i am going to put you down for Django-Chartit.
@Ben & @Ariel - Can you clarify, which talks you are going to do. I am confused. :-)

Presuming Ariel is presenting on developing multilingual projects and I'm going to talk about fixture generators.

Yeah, I will be presenting on multilingual as originally planned :) Thanks Ben.

@Ariel, @Ben thank you for confirming. I will add you to the list.

Thanks, Jackie.

looks good.

For anyone interested in seeing my Django 1.4 presentation materials ahead of time (and for future reference), you can find them here: http://www.mattmakai.com/presentations/whats-coming-djang...

See you all at 7pm.

For anyone presenting, we have an iMac setup for slides. Just have a USB drive or a URL handy

I am circling around Dupont trying to find parking (with wife + baby) if I cannot make it in time will share the urls for the google doc and github sample repo. :/

I've posted my slides, and I'd love any ideas that'll make Thinglauncher better! http://www.slideshare.net/rosskarchner/thinglauncher-intr...
