The Django Software Foundation (DSF) has now become a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA).
Big congratulations and thanks to both the Django Security Team and the Fellows: It's their merit on security which has earned the DSF status as a CNA.

This is a great move by the #django community. This adds even more stability from my point of view. It also makes an internal discussion way easier. Thanks for that.

The Django team is happy to announce the release of Django 6.1 - a harmonious mélange of new features and usability improvements 🧑🍳

Good news if you're thinking about going to @djangoconeurope in Innsbruck by train: the winter timetables are out, and some direct fares are very cheap
Examples I found: Munich ~2h €13, Venice ~5h €16, Zurich ~4h €23, Budapest ~7h €37. Night trains too: Zagreb ~11h €25, Hamburg ~13h €35, Amsterdam ~14h €35.
I got my direct train from Bologna for just €16 on https://www.oebb.at
That makes DjangoCon a lot more accessible, but the cheapest tickets probably won’t last long

After the morning break, I'm enjoying @frank and @calvinhp comparing @django and @FastAPI .
It's fun to watch two very experienced consultants and long-time members of the Django community challenge each other in such a friendly way.
I especially like that this feels constructive rather than competitive: not “which one wins?”, but understanding where each approach fits best.
