Time is running out. This is the last call for the 2026 Django Developers Survey, which the Django Software Foundation is running in partnership with JetBrains. The survey closes on July 13, 2026. It is one of the best measures we have of how Django is used, and it helps guide future technical and community decisions. So far, over 3,100 people have responded, and we would love to push that number past 4,000. Every response helps us better understand the Django community. This year's survey was …

This is the financial foundation we needed to move from "we should hire an ED someday" to "we are hiring an ED now." Why This Role Matters The DSF has grown significantly …

Before talking about where we want to go, it's important to recognize that everythin…

As we wrap up another strong year for the Django community, we wanted to share an update and a thank you. This year, we raised our fundraising goal from $200,000 to $300,000, and we are excited to say we are now over 88% of the way there. That puts us firmly in the home stretch, and a little more support will help us close the gap and reach 100%. So why the higher goal this year? We expanded the Django Fellows program to include a third Fellow. In August, we welcomed Jacob Tyler Walls as our ne…
