After the DjangoCon Europe coffee break, back into the room for @jake ☕️
Django supports multiple database connections, but leaves it up to you to manage how to use them and which queries to send where… let’s dig into this 🙂

Last talk of the first day at DjangoCon Europe 2026 🇬🇷
Now listening to Tim Bell 🎤
As tables get extremely large, the abstraction starts to break down and performance issues show up… curious to see how partitioning helps in real-world cases 🙂
First keynote of DjangoCon Europe 2026 just started 🎤
Really happy to see @carlton on stage opening with a talk about keeping Python dynamic while adding small “static islands” where they actually help, curious to see how this lands 🙂
Just got back from #DjangoConEurope2024 in Vigo 🇪🇸 and it was a blast! 🎉
Huge thanks to the organizers, volunteers, sponsors, speakers and attendees for making this happen. Can’t wait for
@djangoconeurope Dublin 2025! 🇮🇪 🍀
We hope all our #DjangoConEurope participants had a great time ❤️
Just a few links to add, and this month's #TheStackReport is ready to go. I'll be expanding on the points about Locality of Behaviour from my talk at #DjangoConEurope.
Going out this afternoon:
Day 1 of DjangoCon Europe 2026 in Athens is done 🇬🇷
As always, the best part is the people. Old friends, folks I’ve shared so many moments with, volunteers, and lots of new faces.
Also had a few people come up during the day to chat, ask about my talk, share feedback… those small moments really stay with you 🙂
This is the human side of the Django community.
DjangoCon Europe 2025 in Dublin 🇮🇪
Looking back at DjangoCon Europe 2025, a few months later, this was a really good way to start the in-person conference season ✨
I was there as a speaker and a DSF board member: a talk on mentoring in Djangonaut Space, a short PyCon Italia mention during the lightning talks, and many good hallway conversations 🎉

Day 2 of DjangoCon Europe 2026 in Athens is done 🇬🇷
Talks, chats, drinks, gelato 🍦 and, more than anything, a lot of people I got to meet again today.
These days are intense, but in a good way 🙂

Took part in the “Django and AI: A Community Conversation” workshop at DjangoCon Europe 2026 🇬🇷
Really appreciated the space that Laura Gates and @thibaudcolas created for an open, honest discussion around AI in the Django ecosystem.
I joined the "Core maintenance of Django" group with @EmmaDelescolle @marcosilva0000 ... and the conversation was thoughtful, grounded, and very real.
I hope this is just the starting point for something bigger 🙂
@jochen getting ready to tell us about shipping Django as a desktop app! #djangoconeurope #djangoconeu2026
Second talk of the morning at DjangoCon Europe 2026 🇬🇷
Now listening to Laís Carvalho @Laiscarvalho 🎤
Talking about observability in Django, going beyond print() and logs to actually understand what’s going on inside your app… this is one of those things that makes life much easier once you start using it 🙂
Final and third day of DjangoCon Europe 2026 in Athens 🇬🇷
Starting with the keynote by @EvilDMP 🎤
He opened with the story of Socrates, condemned to death here in Athens 25 centuries ago, just a short walk from the venue… quite a way to begin a talk about knowledge and documentation.
We hope all #DjangoConEurope attendees have a great time! For those wanting to join online, virtual attendance tickets are still available from https://2025.djangocon.eu/
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 🙂
Closing session just wrapped up at DjangoCon Europe 2026 in Athens 🇬🇷
Final thanks, hugs, goodbyes… and that feeling that it went by too fast.
See you somewhere down the road 🙂

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 🙂
