🤔 Maybe I could squeeze a “print debugging” section in with these tips?

Sprint day at DjangoCon Europe 2026 🇬🇷
This morning we kicked off the first sprint session, hosted by Bespote, in a room full of developers working on all sorts of Django topics.
We started by sharing goals, then everyone spread out into different groups and got to work.
Lots of energy in the room, and a great chance to collaborate and move Django forward 🙂
At #DjangoConEU2026, we had a community conversation about #Django and AI usage, hosted by @thibaudcolas and Laura Gates: We had a tiny sub-group of esteemed people (@jong0uld! @williamblackie!), we talked about the "Who Gets Left Behind by AI".

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.

Fixed and extended until May 7th. Including RETURNERS AND RENEWALS, and new users, 30% off, and 100% goes to the DSF!
