Just looking at the Key Roadmap Items from the informal roadmapping session that @thibaudcolas facilitated for Django last year.
https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/informal-roadmap-retrospective-workshops-for-django/26835/28
"Django active developers Sprints" was Number 2.
That means you should all come to Django on the Med 🏖️. Just saying. #Django #DjangoOnTheMed

🌟 Announcing the 2025 Malcolm Tredinnick Memorial Prize! 🌟
We're proud to open nominations for this annual prize, honoring those who embody the spirit of Malcolm's work supporting our community. Do you know someone who does? Nominate them for our award: https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2025/sep/13/nominate-a-djangonaut-for-the-2025-malcolm-prize/
> 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.
