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.
Fediverse pals, I'm currently #OpenToWork!
The backbone of my experience is big #Python and #Django B2B apps, but I'm open to other ways to apply those skills.
If you have leads, feel free to hit me wth a DM here, pass my info along, or email me — address is on my resume, which is on my portfolio site: https://paulbissex.com/

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.

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`. ✨

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.
