Django Dash Lists Their First Sponsors
Django Dash, which I linked to the other day, have just announced two sponsors: Apress, publishers of the Django Book, and WebFaction, web hosting favourite of Djangonauts everywhere.
Congratulations to the DjangoDash team for managing to get these two great names involved, and top points to Apress and WebFaction for generously supporting the open source community.

The Django Dash competition has opened registration - you've got to get in before May 24th to be able to partake in the event which will run over the weekend of May 31st to June 1st.
I've registered, hoping that I will have nothing on that weekend!
It also looks like they've done a great job getting a few big-name sponsors - this should be some good fun.

This is a great idea that should see Django developers from all over the world compete to produce a fantastic Django application in only 48 hours.
This puts real emphasis on Django's origins as a framework for perfectionists with deadlines. The aim is for small teams to build applications, from scratch, in a tight timeframe.
No word on whether there is a particular focus yet, and no details on sponsors and judges just yet, but this looks like it'll be great fun for those who are into this sort of thing (and, of course, those able to compete at the exact point in time when the competition is open!)
