Anyone want to speculate on why Django gets so much attention on HN, but Drupal doesn't? I realize they're not exactly the same thing, but the last DrupalCon was in SF, and live video of the keynotes didn't garner a single upvote.


Drupal is in an "unsexy" language and is perceived as slow, unwieldy and more of a CMS than a framework (at least this is my impression).


Drupal fits its model nicely as a CMS, but anything outside this and you are working against the code.


Hmm hopefully will see lots of good videos come out of this! (being a southern hemisphere type has its disadvantages).


Has anyone been to DjangoCon previously? I'm curious if it's at all worthwhile to attend (since I live in Seattle).


I went last year, it was absolutely worth it. I wish I had stayed for the sprints though.
