I promised to send you the latest projects and jobs on the site as well as any other interesting Django content I encountered during the month.

News and Updates

• I have been working on a new project lately that might be related to you (it might replaces Django Jobs). It's called Tech Job Alerts. I parse a few places on the web for the latest jobs in tech. You can subscribe to any technology you feel the most comfortable with (e.g. Django) and you will receive a digest every week with the freshest jobs. It's free.
