= Django testing sprint on UTC+3 in Tel-Aviv, Israel, on August 17, 2008 =

We'll be holding a Django testing sprint in Tel-Aviv University campus, Schreiber building, room 319,
on Sunday, August 17, 2008. 
See [http://www2.tau.ac.il/map/unimapl1.asp map].
If attendees are interested, we can also carry the sprint over to Monday.

This sprint will focus on testing the 1.0-rc release (see [VersionOneRoadmap#schedule 1.0 roadmap]).  
More details will be posted here and announced on django-dev as we get closer to the sprint.

== What's a sprint? How do I participate? ==

See [wiki:Sprints] for information about how sprints work, how you can participate, etc.

Anybody, anywhere around the world, can participate and contribute.   We'll be gathering in person in Tel-Aviv, but if you can't make it you can also help out through IRC.
Knowing python really helps; here's a [http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/tut/node3.html simple tutorial].

This sprint will examine the behavior of Django players to test if '''1.0 release candidate''' is ready.  
We will focus on two types of users: first timers and experienced users. First timers can either show up or use IRC to get instant help from the experts.

Experienced Django users can help by:

 * refactoring an existing project to 1.0 rc
 * start a fresh project on top of 1.0 rc
 * set up a day of work with a friend and help him as he learns django 1.0 rc
