Just had a WICKED awesome start to Wagtail Space! Loved the energy in the Zoom room y'all. Join us and you can feel the good vibes too: https://events.zoom.us/ev/AtWesoZI_eMUAZtG3IN1jHe29h3D8ymQo_CtHXHif8OXHxce920A~AmKLzn7GfJ8vV51FiJz9pNpTy55HaWLo4t8I4dqDbTM5nbyP41_CgAYz_fXVvA638XHQaKXNrH9jlJGSyHzvQwF6lQ
Wanted to check something before bed. Walk through a couple code samples, tweak them a bit.
Yep, nanodjango is pretty cool. Define an entire #Django project in a single file, and blow it up to a full normal project layout as needed. Kinda like the #Mojolicious approach where you start with a code sketch in Mojolicious::Lite.
Except it's Django, so your one-file project can include models and admin screens, no problem.
Definitely need to play with this more.
pip install Django==5.1a1 ✨🎊

🎉 I hadn't kept up with what Django's Steering Council had been up to outside of random board updates, and I'm happy to share how impressed I am with how transparent they are.
They are meeting several times a month and sharing their minutes as they go. https://github.com/django/steering-council
They are even sharing on the Django Forum to bring more visibility to what they are doing https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/django-steering-council-meetings-2025/38306
These are very welcoming changes. 👏👏
