Keys to fighting political fatigue are belief in political power and knowledge of actual government operations. If knowledge is power, then the amount and nature of exposure of government data is crucially important. To what degree can Django empower application developers to consume this data in an intelligent and cognizable way? Moreover, can consumption mechanisms at the framework level actually influence government agencies to expose data more transparently? This is what Eric Sterling, president of The Criminal Justice Policy Foundation will encourage his audience to think about.
PC software displaced mainframes; the web displaced PC software; now HTML5, JavaScript, and Cocoa threaten to drive LAMP-stack derivatives like Django to extinction. The apps of the future must be written in a radically different way. Meteor is a new web framework that automates nearly the entire process of writing a so-called "thick client" application. Geoff Schmidt, a principal developer of Meteor, will share insights from Meteor's design that could benefit Django and discuss how Meteor and Django can work together to build the real-time APIs of the future.
