The community is primarily a communication, so the meeting began with the fact that all who came were told about themselves. 25 people gathered the first MoscowDjango, 6 people called themselves experienced developers ("Yes, I'm on django with 0.9 x versions! :-)"). Many other shy and began his greeting with, "Well, if anyone here is a novice, it's me...". Among the attendees were corporate developers, and freelancers, and startups, experts Ostrovok.ru, polit.ru, RussiaToday and other companies.

After Alexei Vladimir Epifanov (Ostrovok.ru) told about the console, without which when working with django anywhere. "A big part of my job is to press the keys. I want to share my experience and maybe someone to coerce to use the console". Vladimir highlighted common elements and useful details. And finished with a slide "the Island needs more good pythonistas". Mota on a mustache, Gabriele!
