Of course, I messed up the tweet on this one.

[Tim Schilling @CodenameTim]

I wrote about why I believe the Django community is in one currently, specifically around adding new features. If you sit and look at the tools and processes being built, we're headed in a fantastic direction.

@KatiMichel Oh, definitely. It seems like most are published within the quarter.

[Tim Schilling @CodenameTim]

Better late than never! I wrote some thank-you's after my first #DjangoCon US in 2022 and finally decided to publish them. It's wild how much things have changed for me since then.

[Tim Schilling @CodenameTim]

@KatiMichel How many years did yours go unpublished? 😆

[Tim Schilling @CodenameTim]

The other major thing we've defined are the variety of ways a project can be funded! Any package can have their own Open Collective project.

This means is that any project can do their own fundraising however they'd like. 💸

Django Commons has been making significant governance changes to better support the community-maintained #Python and #Django packages.

- Allowing dormant and archived projects
- A trust ladder for contributors
- Adopted a default security policy

django-devbar 1.0.0 is out. I've been using it for almost a year and now consider it stable. No major changes planned for now. I'd like to hear how it works for others before deciding what's next.

There are only a few days left until nominations close for #Django's only community prize. Please submit a nomination or three!

I realized sort of late that I needed an allow list on all the APIs that are shown in the reports. That sort of puts a damper on the idea of supporting a broader set of Python/Django packages, but doesn't make it impossible either.

[Tim Schilling @CodenameTim]

And we're live! https://t.co/6XoqsENM7C This page contains basic stats on how projects use Django.

It's a small sample size (21 projects), but `transaction.atomic` is used in 76% of projects and `JSONResponse` in 52% of projects.

@RamatAkintola Because with an outline, I think the specifics here gets murky. PR descriptions don't need to be perfect. Recaps or summaries don't either. It's harder to take an absolute stance.

[Tim Schilling @CodenameTim]

I think I'm settling on the policy of "don't use AI to generate a first draft of any* communication meant for humans."

While I say any, there's always nuance and exceptions. But for the most part, c'mon.

We're happy to announce new teams of Session 7 🚀

New and familiar faces from the community have joined our Officers team and volunteered their time to make these 8 teams possible. 🤩

[Frank Wiles @fwiles]

I guess on one hand it's an honor to be targeted like this? Be super careful with your credentials everyone. They're targeting people and they're sneaky! https://t.co/Zc1tGLPBtm

Keeping track of Discord events is annoying, so I added support to allow people to add the events I host directly to your calendar. I hope to see folks soon!

We're coming up on #Django election season. 🗳️ The six months before the 7.x Steering Council election feels like a long time, but it's going to be here before you know it! Plus, sometimes, ideas need time to permeate the community.

I read a book from the 1950's about speaking persuasively. The ideas in the book were good, but yup... Things are better nowadays.

We're doing some basic debugging skills building on the #Django discord server (https://t.co/TlNKNg8wSY) in ~15m. We'll be going over Lab 1 of the debugging tutorial here: https://t.co/Mrt9UczOVA
