Anyone up for helping @npub1rex…daam and I run the 2026 DSF Board elections? https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/preparations-for-2026-dsf-board-elections/42836 No one’s volunteered for this yet, which I’ll take it to mean you all trust us to do a great job 😛 feedback would be nice though!

Just the other day @npub153q…fhe2 and I were discussing how for @npub1apg…0ejz we try hard to always _keep things open_ for further input for weeks if not months if the proposed changes aren’t so clear. Or if something’s not a good fit for a ticket, how we’re the ones transferring it to forum-style discussions & getting the discussion going at the same time as explaining the rationale. How we spend lots of time encouraging people to consider alternatives. None of this is particularly hard to do

This is such a poor process, you come motivated with good ideas, you’ve managed to find your way to the tickets, and then the next comment is "oh noes, you’re holding it wrong, instead you should’ve proposed that on the forum!"

🫠 why oh why does Django’s triage process need to be so harmful to new contributors https://blog.hartwork.org/posts/django-security-hardenings-that-are-not-happening/

Let’s see how the Django 6.x Steering Council will help drive that proposal towards a decision 👀

Applications for
@npub1zcc…afwd close *today*!
It’s the best way to upskill in open source contributions IMO. Very reasonable commitment, outstanding community, and the potential for high-impact, high-purpose contributions 👉 https://djangonaut.space/sessions/2024-session-3/
Consider it!
