      <content type="html"><![CDATA[# We’re happy to announce the second DjangoNL meetup!

This time, we’ll keep things small and informal. There will be no talks, no fixed agenda, and no formal programme: just coffee, conversation, and a chance to meet other Django and Python people in the Netherlands.

The meetup will take place at **Café Werkplaats in Volkshotel, Amsterdam**.

# Event details

- Date: Sunday, 19 July 2026
- Time: `14:00` to `16:30`
- Location: Café Werkplaats, Volkshotel
- Address: [Wibautstraat 150, 1091 GR Amsterdam](https://maps.app.goo.gl/V7DQt1j6Mo2BQewU6)

We’ll start at `14:00` with arrival and coffee, and wrap up around `16:30`. People are welcome to stay longer if they want.

This meetup is for anyone interested in Django, whether you use it professionally, are learning it, or are simply curious about the community.

Coffee and tea are kindly sponsored by [Yesglot](https://yesglot.com), a localization platform.

Please RSVP on Luma so we know how many people to expect.

There were around 15 of us and the biggest surprise was seeing [Adrian Holovaty](https://www.holovaty.com/) join — one of the two people who created Django 20 years ago.

We introduced ourselves, shared some Django stories and then played a round of [lightning questions](/pdfs/20th-birthday-lightning-questions.pdf) with asks like “What’s your favorite third-party Django package?”, “Have you ever left the Django debug toolbar running on a live site?” and “If you could meet Django’s creators, what’s the first question you’d ask them?”. With Adrian there, last question wasn’t just hypothetical.

Being part of the celebrations all over the world for [Django’s 20th birthday](https://birthday20.djangoproject.com/) was truly special.

And yes, we ended with cake. 🎂
