💡 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.

@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 ❤️)

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`. ✨

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

Cool lightning talk by Samuel Searles-Bryant
They argue you should eagerly adopt new linting rules even if your existing code violates them.
The idea is that you stop your code from getting worse and fix the issues in your existing code if and when time permits.
They even created a python tool that automatically adds the appropriate ignore comments to your code after activating new rules.

Thank you to the amazing team @djangoconeurope for making this event happen again.
This was my 4th DjangoCon in the 6th year of working with Django and I've once again met many great people and heard lots of interesting talks.

🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT 🚨

We just released a new episode about building #Django #REST APIs! We give our hot takes about DRF, Django Ninja, and when to use one versus the other (spoiler alert: it depends!).

Episode 5: Chocolately Django REST APIs 🍫

We also talk about movies and give coffee updates. @sjbitcode also discovers who Pee Wee Herman is and @adamghill STILL hasn’t watched all of Severance!!! 🤦

And as always we would appreciate a 5 star review! ✨

We'll have a full recap blog post out soon, but we wanted to take a moment to celebrate a fantastic #PyConUS! We all had a great time. Thank you so much #PyConUS2025 organizers! And a special thank you to our friends @django, who shared their booth space and collaborated on meetups with us. We were a powerful team of advocates for Python web dev! 🙌

1 year later and there's a proper domain and site up for #Django Commons

https://django-commons.org/

I'm not a developer, I just know enough python code to get into trouble.

I'm trying to find the simplest way to run a python script which queries an api and displays the results on a Wordpress website.

I'm guessing I need to make a simple standalone website and embed that in a wordpress page... should I be looking into making a #django app?

Finally! Got my write up of my talk @djangoconeurope done! 😅
