Keeping Up with the Django Community

Posted by Tim Schilling on June 30, 2026

The Django community runs on volunteer effort spread across several different groups of people. Most of it is public, but it isn't always easy to find.

Here are the public places to find it:

DSF Office Hours

Most of these are places to read and follow along, but one invites you to show up in real time, the DSF Office Hours. From the website:

These are weekly office hours to work on anything related to the DSF. At least one board member will try to attend each week. Office hours take place every Wednesday at 6:00 PM UTC.

All you need to do is bring something DSF-related to work on. This is intentionally broad, as long as it's vaguely DSF-related you're welcome to come. It's not a general-purpose Django coding session (you're welcome to be writing code but it should be related the DSF, e.g. working on djangoproject.com or something).

They are friendly and casual. People are welcome to bring topics and discussions for everyone to cover. I personally find them helpful in staying on top of community news and finding impactful ways to contribute to the community.

To help set expectations, here's a list of what we discussed in the latest office hour:

  • Executive Director position and fundraising
  • Marketing / broadcasting office hours to the rest of the community
  • Analytics on the website
  • Community updates (Steering Council, Djangonaut Space)
  • New prospectus discussion for DSF sponsors
  • djangoproject.com website updates to reflect new prospectus pricing
  • Google Summer of Code Working Group charter
  • Contributor experience in Django

Each meeting the topics will change based on who is there and what's new, but if this sounds interesting to you, we'll see you next Wednesday!
