Just released is Django 1.0-Beta 1. This is another huge milestone in the push towards Django 1.0. This also means that we are likely to see a more stable trunk, so it looks like it’s heads down on Django once again. Check out the release notes for more information.
But the coding never stops. Tomorrow begins the Release Candidate sprint in Austin, TX and via IRC on freenode #django-sprint. Jump in and squash bugs.
I want to thank all of the contributors for their very hard work.

This Week in Django is a weekly podcast about all things Django.
This week we are pleased to have Eric Florenzano on the show. We discuss PyCon 2008, the world-wide sprint, all of Eric’s projects and a few notable blog posts, a few source commits, a new Django book, and recent changes to the Django Bot. This is definitely one of our best shows yet!
NOTE: Bumper music for Community Catchup is missing. So just sit tight for seven seconds or so.
