Events

One of Caktus’ most pedagogically focused developers, Caleb Smith, will be teaching a class to a group of local budding Pythonistas tomorrow, Saturday 26th, and Caktus’ Rebecca Lovewell will be contributing as a teaching assistant. You can read more about it, and sign up via the meetup page for the event. The class is run by the local chapter of Girl Develop It, a group focused on improving the landscape of women in tech via women focused (but not exclusive) educational opportunities.

Here at Caktus, we love Django and use it to make all of our web applications. To help support the Django community, we are hosting a development sprint on November 12th and 13th at our office in Carrboro, NC in preparation for the 1.4 release. The sprint is a great is an excuse for people to get together and focus their undivided attention on improving Django. You will be helping out by providing bug fixes, improving the documentation and also adding features to existing packages.   

Django is a tool we use every day to build fantastic web apps here at Caktus, and a development sprint is a concerted, focused period of time in which developers meet in the same space to get things done on a project.
