Last sprint morning for me at DjangoCon Europe 2026 in Athens 🇬🇷
Tried to wrap up a few things I had started, helped where I could, and spent time talking and saying goodbye to many people.
Also gave a hand bringing lunch for everyone, small things but part of the whole experience 🙂
Big thanks to the organizers 🙏
Afternoon of the first sprint day at DjangoCon Europe 2026 🇬🇷
We had a hands-on session to continue the Django + AI workshop from the conference, with a few members of the official AI working group and other sprinters.
Really good discussion, helped clarify quite a few points.
A report will follow 🙂
Finally got home. I'm happy I had the chance to present Django Template Transpiler to the #Django community and meet all the brilliant people I met, especially @lilyf, @carlton, @EmmaDelescolle and definitely others I'm forgetting. I'm also happy to have seen again my colleague @anthony. Maybe again at @ParisWeb… Who knows?

Django people who deploy to a VPS: What is your current setup?
I've always used Ubuntu, Postgres, gunicorn, and nginx. But I'm curious how people have deviated from that approach.
Mostly thinking about small to medium projects, which run from a single server.
For the ones who were not able to come and see my talk at #fosdem ( #python devroom - sat ) about rethinking the #django admin, the video is now up:

@paulox and I are putting together some Django Development Sprints. We're going to do them twice a year, in Pascara, Italy, and Palafrugell, Spain. Autumn and Spring. First one in October 🤞
Three days to get together and work on Django.
We're going with the working title, Django on the Med 🏖️

🚀 Django London is live!
Kicking off the evening with Sage Abdullah @laymonage presenting:
🎤 Run your tests against Django’s main!
Ever wonder why the #Django `date` filter uses formats from PHP?! I did! 😂
So, I made a `dateformat` filter which uses the normal #Python `strftime` format strings (cheatsheet here: https://strftime.org). Docs for the new filter: https://dj-angles.adamghill.com/en/latest/filters/dateformat.html
New `dj-call` and `dj-model` mappers were also added. Docs for the tags: https://dj-angles.adamghill.com/en/latest/tag-elements.html
Both included in the newly published 0.17.0 of `dj-angles`. ✨
