Hi Django Committers,
My name is Meet Bhagdev, I work in the Database Systems engineering team at Microsoft in Seattle, WA. My focus is the APIs used to connect to and use Azure SQL Database and SQL Server (MSSQL). Example APIs are ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc. We’d love for Django users to have a solid option to use MSSQL and Azure SQL if they wish, and it would be great to make this option a reality. Our goal is to partner with committers like yourself to bring first-class support for MSSQL to Django. We want to bring the benefits of Django to millions of existing MSSQL and Azure SQL customers as well as folks that would like to evaluate us as a database option for Django. I have been in touch with Tim Graham and Russell Keith-Magee related to us building such support. We are prepared to make the engineering investment required on our end and to work with the Django community to make this happen, the right way. We are willing to do all the heavy lifting, but we do need your help and guidance. At Microsoft we have an existing program for bringing partners and eco-system developers to Seattle, WA, all expenses paid, and we’d like to extend this to the Django committers. This would be a great way to get started. We would love to get a group of you here during our October workshop. The idea is to get developers from both sides to meet and learn from each other—Django and Microsoft. Please reach out me at me...@microsoft.com or give me a call on +1 425 722 5342 if you would like to attend. Would love to get you more details. Sincerely, Meet Bhagdev | Linkedin <https://www.linkedin.com/pub/meet-bhagdev/47/980/9b2> | Github <https://github.com/meet-bhagdev/> P.S. This is not a sales pitch; we are excited about bringing the benefits of Django to our customers.:) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
