Django testing sprint on GMT-2 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 ​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 1.0 roadmap). More details will be posted here and announced on django-dev as we get closer to the sprint.

("GMT-2"? Woot? Local time is, BTW, UTC+03.)

What's a sprint? How do I participate?

See 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 ​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
