+Djangom on OpenShift Express
+============================
+
+This git repository helps you get up and running quickly w/ a Django installation
+on OpenShift Express.  The Django project name used in this repo is 'openshift'
+but you can feel free to change it.  Right now the backend is sqlite3 and the
+database runtime is @ $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/sqlite3.db.
+
+When you push this application up for the first time, the sqlite database is
+copied from wsgi/openshift/sqlite3.db.  This is the stock database that is created
+when 'python manage.py syncdb' is run with only the admin app installed.
+
+
+Running on OpenShift
+----------------------------
+
+Create an account at http://openshift.redhat.com/
+
+Create a wsgi-3.2 application
+
+    rhc-create-app -a django -t wsgi-3.2
+
+Add this upstream seambooking repo
+
+    cd django
+    git remote add upstream -m master git://github.com/openshift/django-example.git
+    git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master
+    
+Then push the repo upstream
+
+    git push
+
+That's it, you can now checkout your application at:
+
+    http://django-$yourlogin.rhcloud.com
