Django sprint in the Triangle area of North Carolina, March 20-21 2010

We'll be holding a Django development sprint at ​Carrboro Creative Coworking, 205 Lloyd St, Carrboro, NC 27510 (​map) on March 20th and 21st, 2010.

We'll be there at 9am both days to open the doors. It's a tradition to go out for drinks after the sprinting winds down, perhaps around 4 or 5, but this may be earlier or later depending on the general momentum of the sprint.

This will be a general sprint focused on getting features ready for the 1.2 release. It doesn't require any previous experience and, if you don't have prior experience ​contributing to Django, it is the perfect opportunity to start.

The sprint is being hosted by ​Caktus Consulting Group. If you have any questions, ​contact us. Please don't contact Carrboro Creative Coworking directly with questions about the sprint. If you need help finding the location or have other questions on the day of the sprint, just give us a call at 919-951-0052.

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 Carrboro Creative Coworking, but if you can't make it you can also help out in IRC.

You can find all the gory details on the Sprints page.

Getting there

Carrboro Creative Coworking (CCC) is located in downtown Carrboro and is within walking distance of many restaurants, bars, and shops. The address is:

​205 Lloyd St, Carrboro, NC 27510

After turning on Lloyd St, CCC will be on your left just past Rice's Glass. The sign reads "The Lloyd Street Office Center." You can park in the lot immediately in front of the building or, if space is limited, there's additional parking behind the building (just turn into the main parking lot and continue straight to the gravel parking area).

Sleeping arrangements

If you're traveling to get here and need accommodations, there are ​a number of hotels a short drive (or a 15-20 minute walk) away. The ​Courtyard Chapel Hill (431 W Franklin St, 27516 - 919-883-5058) seems to be the closest.
