TurboGears, which has been at 1.0b1 for a while now, was released as 1.0 today. Here’s a link to an IRC chat that describes what that means, and more about the future of the TurboGears project.

This is all great timing, since the TurboGears Jam is starting in just a week and a half, here in Ann Arbor. It’s January 14-16 (more details on Bruce Eckel’s site: http://mindview.net/Conferences/TurboGearsJam/).

Here’s Kevin’s mention of the TurboGears Jam from the IRC chat:

Next minor item: I'd just like to remind folks that Bruce Eckel's TurboGears Jam is happening here in Ann Arbor, Michigan in less than two weeks. It should be a lot of fun and I hear that Bruce creates a great learning environment at these kinds of events. I will be at the Jam as much as I can. Also, I'll be introducing TurboGears at CodeMash in Sandusky, Ohio later that same week.

I’m really looking forward to the TurboGears Jam, and I’m excited to see what 1.0 has to offer that I haven’t already seen in 1.0b1. If you haven’t already signed up, I think that there’s still room for a few more people. Join us! Sunday is “introductory day” with pricing that allows you to attend Sunday only (great for those who want exposure to TurboGears, but can’t justify it to their bosses … yet). Monday and Tuesday should give us a lot of time to experiment.
