On one hand... On the other: if we want Django to catch on in Israel as a technology used for commercial ventures, then educating the VC's on why Django is a Good Thing(tm) is essential. Otherwise, your average VC will say "I've never heard of this python thing. Build it in PHP or we don't give you any money."
We have a relatively easy case to make -- google is big on python, appengine is python, Rails is becoming popular enough that we can reference it as a "we're like that" story. VC's will not magically learn this stuff on their own. Just my $0.02. Purists might not like it but the VC's influence a lot of the money out there, directly or indirectly. Evangelizing django and python to them would not be a bad idea. As for location suggestion: the Hub is still an option. It's not free (but not expensive). -I On Jun 25, 2009, at 11:16 AM, Tal Einat wrote: > Personally, the 20 minute discussion with the VC people would be a > major turnoff for me. > > But I have no other location to suggest... > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyWeb-IL" group.
