Utah Django User Group – First Meeting TONIGHT

The Utah Django User Group is having its first monthly meeting tonight at 7:00 at Novell’s OSTC (Building A) [MAP].

Gregory Doermann will be presenting on “Migrating Django Databases with South“. Pizza will be provided by my company (Izeni), so please try to RSVP to me directly for a basic head count.

Also, if you want to stay informed about future Utah Django meetings, please sign up for the Google group and the Utah Tech Event Calendar.

I hope to see you there!

UPDATE: My brother and business partner Gabe volunteered to do a mini-presentation on some of the non-standard ways we’ve used Django for some of our clients (like to output config files for VoIP applications). It’s titled “Unconventional Uses of Django” or “When All You Have is a Hammer, Everything Looks Like a Nail”.

Got Contract Work?

Gabe and I want to be sure that our start up company, Izeni, has a cash runway that’s long enough to ensure that we can have a proper lift off. To that end we’ve been doing some consulting and contract work (mostly low-hanging fruit) to slow our burn rate, and it’s worked fairly well because we’re in bootstrapping mode and our expenses are relativity low. So, although we’ve never really sought contract work, we do like it; and I thought I’d do a quick post officially soliciting it.

So without further ado, Izeni will be accepting all kinds of technical consulting and contract work. Our specialities are Python coding; website development (particularly using the Django framework); Linux systems administration (Apache, *SQL, Postfix, Mailman, IPtables, Samba, Bash, etc.); and VoIP-based telephony (Asterisk and Freeswitch).

We can also do general computer and network support, online marketing, and a myriad of other technical and business odds and ends.  :)

Izeni is based out of Utah, but we can also telecommute.

Please let me know if you have any contracting and consulting opportunities or know of any companies looking for web guys, programmers, or other technical contractors. Otherwise, feel free to repost this (pass the word along), or just keep us in mind.
