Currently in the #Django sprint room at #PyConFr and @thibaudcolas is stressing the importance of gathering quotes/testimonials from Django users…
So if you have ever used Django and liked it (as a dev or as a end user), don't hesitate to fill the survey https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfkkvFZnLi_Mg_DnMwMC8g3V5ke2RnA4y4yXiTyaBU-zPFJ8w/viewform (and then ping me here, please 👉👈)
Pull requests wanted!
I've just opened a whole bunch of issues in the PyLadiesCon Portal repo and all of these are up for grabs.
Check it out if you know some Python, Django, and maybe a little of HTML or CSS.

Just released v0.5.0 of my django-litestream package, now compatible with Litestream 0.5.2.
The main changes include updates to match the new Litestream CLI, and I’ve also removed the old `init` command — it turned out to be completely useless. I also removed dbs auto discovery, I don't remember why I did that initally, but it was clearly a stupid idea.

If you need to convince someone about the importance of "Locality of Behavior" (LoB) in #Django, show them a large project that attempted to do "don't repeat yourself" (DRY) on a bunch of Django Rest Framework serializers 🍝
It's a pattern I've seen repeated with both models, forms and class-based views. Class-inheritance invites DRY'ing of loosely related objects that often turn out to diverge once the project has evolved.
Anyways good luck out there with the DRY'ing, LoB'ing and YAGNI'ing 🤹♂️
Been working on a new feature for @reviewboard extension developers. TemplateHooks today let extensions inject arbitrary HTML into parts of the page, but now we're making this more flexible via a new Page State Injectors feature, as part of our Djblets for #Django project.
Djblets (https://github.com/djblets/djblets/) is a series of reusable apps for Django that help make more involved web applications.
Today we’re at the first ever #DjangoDayIndia ✨🇮🇳✨ at Scaler School of Technology! It’s really special to be at the first edition of a new #Django event, and the crowd here is loving it 💚
