🚀 Feature Friday: {% querystring %} !
The new {% querystring %} template tag in Django 5.1 makes it easier to access and modify the query string in your Django templates, letting you work with links that use query parameters.

✍️ I just finished writing the new pdb chapter for Boost Your Django DX. Lots of good stuff about pdb and ipdb.
🖨️ I’m not against print debugging though, per this past post:
https://adamj.eu/tech/2021/10/08/tips-for-debugging-with-print/
🤔 Maybe I could squeeze a “print debugging” section in with these tips?
Does anyone here know about #django events in Pakistan? 🇵🇰 We’d like to know if there are any Django-specific events there which we could recommend on our website (https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com/issues/1659)
🤔 Want to test your Django knowledge?
Here’s my blog post version of last night’s quiz at Django London. It’s been our annual tradition since 2016.
We're kicking off our new DSF member of the month series! This series will spotlight individual members of the DSF and help you get to know our members better.
The first member of the series is Hiroki Kiyohara! He is the creator and a staff member of DjangoCongress JP and a key member of the Django Japan community.
Read Hiroki's interview here:

The Django 5.2 feature freeze is tomorrow. If anyone has some spoons and/or energy left to get the BoundField change landed in #Django that would be awesome.
PR here https://github.com/django/django/pull/19043
Thanks :)
I found another useful pattern in my current #Django project, so also wrote about that.
"Make Django show dates and times in the visitor’s local timezone"

My next Modern frontend development with #Django, #HTMX, #Tailwind, #Playwright and #AlpineJS workshop is happening on 1 and 2 Feb. There are still some tickets left!

I also have some really cool bonuses for you.
Please share this with whoever might benefit!
I've been pushing for more mentorship in the #Django community for a while. I think an approachable step we can take today is holding more small group meetups.

💡 I built a #Django web app with a small team for a local non-profit. This article describes my experience going from complete concept to a live site serving my local community. https://www.mattlayman.com/blog/2020/concept-to-live-with-django/
This International Women's Day, we're celebrating a historic milestone in Django’s journey!🚀
For the first time ever, Django has women in every leadership position within the project.
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.
Each month, we're showcasing a DSF member to help you get to know the community better.
This month, we're featuring Cory Zue ( @czue ), member of the Social Media Working Group! 💚

@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 🏖️
If that's something you might be interested in, we have a newsletter (Thanks @buttondown ❤️)
🚀 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`. ✨

Building accessible web forms in Django

We've just donated $5,000 to the @django Software Foundation
I've written a blog post about why it is important to @foxleytalent to support the great work they do.

I have also mentioned the @opensourcepledge in the post and why their movement is helping Open Source Funding
