The Django Software Foundation recognizes Individual Members for their contributions to the Django community: code, docs, community work, events, or governance. ✨ You can nominate someone you appreciate, or yourself 🙂 Details here: 👇 www.djangoproject.com/foundation/i... #Django #DSF

This year I didn’t write a big “Year in Review” 😅 I preferred to spend time on smaller, focused write-ups: DjangoCon Europe & US, EuroPython, PyCon Italia, Django Groups workshops, and a year of building Python Pescara. All those stories are there 👉 www.paulox.net #YearInReview #Python #Community

I’ve published a personal retrospective on Python Pescara and our 2025. Meetups, Django Girls, conferences, and what community building looked like for us over the year. #Python #Pescara #Community www.paulox.net/2025/12/31/l...

I’ve published a retrospective on Django On The Med, a small standalone Django contributor sprint A few months later, I reflect on what worked, what didn’t, and the value that emerged beyond code when the focus was on people and being together www.paulox.net/2025/12/30/d... #DjangoOnTheMed #Django

The 1.2.1 release of django-simple-deploy allows plugins to extend the core CLI. For example, the dsd-flyio plugin now supports a `--vm-size` option. This is what was needed to make plugins much more powerful than simply "give me the smallest possible working deployment". #Python #Django

The PSF Board elections are underway and will close tomorrow! 🗳️ I just cast my vote, and it was great to see so many strong candidates. Happy to participate, and I encourage everyone in the Python community to take part and vote too! pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/09/the-... #Python #OpenSource #PSF
