Getting back into Camp spirit, we (as in Gašper Ž. and I) thought about doing something for our growing Django community. Since a lot of things that we built runs on Django it feels just right.

What: Django (python framework thingie) community driven unconference for people that are already using Django. It’s not that we don’t like newbie’s, but we’ll invite them to event that is more optimized for them.

Where and when: Kiberpipa, Ljubljana on Saturday, 11th of December 2010

Language of event: Slovenian but you can present in English or Croatian

We plan to limit event to 40-50 people so it doesn’t get complicated with budget and organization. For the same reasons we probably won’t be recording the sessions, so that we can have group discussions and fingers pointing toward laptop displays.

Extra rule is that every participant should prepare a short presentation on something Django related. It can be a full-blown sessions tutorial, GIS Django example project or just a clever middleware hack.

Reading Pratchett’s latest novel – I Shall Wear Midnight (a Tiffany Aching story), I was reminded that witching is mostly a matter of stopping to think and look around and observe what people are actually doing. Witches in his stories call this headology – headology, a sort of folk-psychology which can be summed up as “if people think you’re a witch, you might as well be one”.

Which brings us to modern day with all the experts in soft fields like community management or social media marketing. They’re both fields where two things happen:

• You have to know how to stop and observe what all the people around you are doing and understand their reasons for doing these things.
• Since you’re mostly not producing things, the only way for others to accept you as a witch of this field is by you acting like one in the first place.

After you understand this, everything else is easy. Oh, and you’ll have to figure out what your pointy hat is.

Klemen has done excellent job organizing Slovenian HTML5 and CSS3 meetup that’s going to happen on 29th of October in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

While submitting our carpooling app into Nokia OVI store, they asked something interesting: what is the mood of your app?

The question seems promising, but they make it hard to respond with so many choices. Take a look at the list and consider the mood of the page you’re building:

How far are you willing to go to spread your knowledge and make world easier for people to use?
