Techcrunch: 25 startups that will be shaping the next web. For Fashiolista we’ve been able to utilize a great deal of best practises learned in previous Django based sites. More on this topic later. For now I’m wondering if there are many other Django fans attending the next web conference.

The conference itself should be very interesting. Definitely looking forward to Werner Vogels and Joe Stump. The later seems to be running Django for SimpleGeo.

We’re probably one of the largest Django projects in terms of codebase. Pretty soon the famous nextweb awards are coming up. (remember those guys which broke into Michael Arrington’s house?). And we need some love from the Django community. Lots of it.

Pretty please nominate youtellme.nl for the next web!

With the crazy work schedules any entrepreneurs lives by, we didn’t really get to enjoy the city yet. In fact, I went to more Amsterdam based events when the company was still in Rotterdam.

This Thursday my fellow YTM entrepreneurs and me will be visiting the Open Coffee Amsterdam meetup. For me its a first timer on the long  standing Open Coffee tradition. Hope it will be fun :)

Usually we don’t see too many hi-tech companies visiting a business university. Google has an amazing brand name amongst students, this was very clear from the crazy amount of attention they got. The staff from Google was representing their Dublin headquarters. Working benefits seem pretty amazing over there.

Good job Google! (why don’t other tech companies do this?)

The movie they recommended us to watch:

The eagerly awaited version 1.1 progressing rapidly with the delegation of 1.0 development; Plugins are developing at an amazing speed (example, example); Great posts are being written to further enhance one’s understanding of Symfony: such as Understanding Behavior and tomorrow will be the start of the highly anticipated Symfony Camp.

Hope that all the participants will have a great time. With speakers such as

It should certainly be a good event. Congrats to Stefan Koopmanschap and the entire team at Dutch Open Projects for setting up a nice event in The Netherlands. IT is not very progressive in our little country and it is great to see such an event being organized!

Since I am currently on vacation in Romania I will have to miss the great event, but I surely hope everyone will blog and post the slides online!

According to a recent Techcrunch article it seems to be a pretty fun event though.

We should have one of these in Holland as well.
