2025 DSF Board Nominations

2025 DSF Board Nominations. The Django Software Foundation board elections are coming up. There are four positions open, seven directors total. Terms last two years, and the deadline for submitting a nomination is October 25th (the date of the election has not yet been decided).

Several community members have shared "DSF initiatives I'd like to see" documents to inspire people who may be considering running for the board:

• Sarah Boyce (current Django Fellow) wants a marketing strategy, better community docs, more automation and a refresh of the Django survey.
• Tim Schilling wants one big sponsor, more community recognition and a focus on working groups.
• Carlton Gibson wants an Executive Director, an updated website and better integration of the community into that website.
• Jacob Kaplan-Moss wants effectively all of the above.

There's also a useful FAQ on the Django forum by Thibaud Colas.
