Contributing to the Django Community
2025-08-13 , Main Hall

The Django community is vibrant, welcoming and diverse. There are several places for people to get involved. Though perhaps, we don't do a great job of communicating what those opportunities are. Come join me to hear more about how to contribute to the Django community. I'll cover three community organizations approaching the Django contributor experience from a different angle.

Come join me to hear more about how to contribute to the Django community. I'll cover three community organizations approaching the Django contributor experience from a different angle. Then I'll cover what opportunities exist, how to choose where to invest your time and lastly why you should contribute to the Django community.

I'm a software engineer that loves Django and our community. I've been helping maintain django-debug-toolbar and a few other packages. I'm a cofounder of Djangonaut Space and an admin of Django Commons. Outside of the software world, I enjoy baking bread, writing, roasting coffee, homebrewing, making hot sauce, and hanging out with my two cats Beef and Roland.
