Officially Lucky

Rob LoftHouse just announced on his Twitter that DjangoCon 2008 will be taking place at the GooglePlex (that’s Google’s Mountain View, California headquarters) on September 6th and 7th! Woo!

Rob also indicates that a Djangoproject.com posting will be up soon.

The official post is live:

I am pleased to announce that DjangoCon will be held on the 6th and 7th of September, 2008 at the Google headquarters in Mountain View. This will tie in with the 1.0 release of Django, and so we’ll be also having a 1.0 release party on Saturday September 6th.

All the details including a schedule of speakers will be made available when we launch the conference website on Friday. Space will be limited to about 200 attendees, so we’ll be releasing tickets in batches to give everyone a chance to come to the conference. Admission will be free, but we’ll be asking for an optional donation to the Django Software Foundation to help cover our costs.

Thanks to everyone who has been helping out, and also thanks to Google for working so hard to get everything done!
