I’m attending to DjangoCon from São Paulo Google’s Office.
Some notes on the first day of event:
- I expected more news from GvR on his talk about GAE (nothing really new).
- David Cramer talk about High Performance was kinda heavy (but good things learned)
- The history behind Django is hilarious (State of Django by Jacob and Adrian)
- It seems Django is getting bigger (contributors) and better (features). Good!
- Really good talk by Malcolm Tredinnick about the Django ORM
- GeoDjango seems very interesting, but it’s not for me (at least now…)
- Cal Henderson made good “feature requests” and “bug reports” live, the unreadable SQL generated by Django scares me a bit… but not that much
In general it was great. I can’t wait for the lighting talks tomorrow (probably the best moment on any Python conference 
).
Oh, the snacks @ Google (Sao Paulo) are awesome!
