DjangoCon US 2011: September 6-8, in Portland, Oregon

Hi all,

The DjangoCon organizing committee, led by Steve Holden, has just
announced that DjangoCon US 2011 will be held in Portland, Oregon,
from September 6-8 2011. This will be followed by a couple of days of
sprints. We are also exploring the possibility of running tutorials on
the day before (September 5).

There will be a change of venue from the last two years -- we've
shifted to the Hilton Portland and Executive Tower [1]. This is
located right in the middle of downtown Portland, so it should be a
lot more convenient for dinner and other social activities.

The budget hasn't been finalized yet, but we will be aiming to keep
registration fees comparable to DjangoCon US 2010. However, we have
already negotiated complimentary internet for everyone staying at the
hotel, and throughout the ballroom where the conference will be taking
place.

Although there was some interest in looking at other venues, due to
the relatively short time frame, it was necessary to stick to Portland
for at least one more year. To that end -- if you are interested in
hosting DjangoCon US 2012 in a location other than Portland, now is
the time to start organizing. Jump on the DjangoCon organizers mailing
list [2] and let us know that you want to help out. And if you want to
help organize DjangoCon US 2011, jump on the same list!

Hope to see you in Portland in September!
