Here in Northampton, there’s a fun annual music festival called Django in June. It’s all about gypsy jazz -- performances, music clinics, and jam sessions.
During the festival a small group of Django (web framework) developers are planning to get together. We'll do it during the day on June 16, with the evening free for gypsy jazz!
The Place
We'll be meeting right in the heart of town, in the public meeting room of the Media Education Foundation. There's a projector, a big meeting table, and plenty of chairs. The MEF shares the building (which used to be the town firehouse) with one of the best cafes in Northampton (map, pic). As long as we're buying some of their excellent food and drink it shouldn't be a problem to use their free wifi, though we'll want to take care not to overload it. The meeting room is reserved for us from 9am to 5pm.
See the NorthamptonArea page for a little more info about the locality, lodging options, etc.
