Our President speak about the future of Django at DjangoCon Africa 💚🌍
> The Django on the Med 🏖️ name (and the emoji) is a bit of fun — it's a holiday theme based on the location — but we have serious goals.
We added a “What are we going to achieve?” and “What does success look like?” to the Django on the Med 🏖️ website. Two goals: get you thinking, and help you make the case to your boss, for attendance or sponsoring. Check it out! 🦄
New post, about a new talk 😅
Know your limits: On Surviving Open Source.
I was honoured to be invited to talk to the latest batch of @djangonaut volunteers, and we had a great Q&A afterwards.
The video has just been posted to YouTube.
