Applications are open for the 2025 Django Software Foundation Board of Directors – you can apply until October 25th. So, in this post I’ll do two things: try to convince you to run for the board, and document my goals and priorities for 2025.

Epic Debugging, Hilarious Outcome - Building SaaS #205

Oct. 18, 2024 » Django on Matt Layman » [Archived Version]

In this episode, I dug into an issue with sign up. What I thought was going to be a minor issue to fix turned into a massively intense debugging session. We ended up going very deep with the django-allauth package to understand what was going on.

Announcing weekly DSF office hours

Oct. 16, 2024 » The Django weblog » [Archived Version]

And there I have to add an “Again”. Read on… 1. Hire an Executive Directo…
