I'm very happy to have been approved as an Individual Member of the DSF @django .
I take this as motivation to contribute more and become more involved in the Django community 
. Thank you to everyone who endorsed my nomination!
@sabderemane @katianakamura and @cgl attended @europython 2024 at the invitation of the EuroPython Society (EPS). They managed a DSF booth, participated in the OSS sustainability panel, and joined the PyLadies lunch and the Python organizers' lunch.
The DSF board election is close to ending. Please don't forget to submit your nomination!
I'd love to see a diverse board this election! People from each continent, different genders, different cultures. To make that happen, I'm offering my help to review personal statement if you believe that you would contribute to make the board more diverse.
