[socal-piggies] Next meeting: Thu Nov. 10 @ DreamHost

[Grig Gheorghiu]

We have a 3rd presentation for our next meeting:

David Litwin (cinely.com): "Approaching technical challenges from a
startup's perspective"

Brief Description: This talk will outline the technical challenges
faced for a first build of a Python/Django website, and explain how
these challenges were approached and dealt with. Specific cases
include search, making the best of Django's ORM, video transcoding,
real-time feeds, and prioritizing features.

Each of the 3 presentation will last for 20-30 minutes, so we should
have enough time of all three.

I'll send out another reminder as we get closer to the meeting date.

Grig
