Just shared a short video of my favorite DjangoCon US 2025 moments in Chicago 🎥✨
It’s been amazing to meet so many Django folks in person, exchange ideas, and hack together 🤝💻
Thank you for the warm welcome, you made me feel at home! 🙏💙
Join a DjangoCon if you can — it’s community at its best 🌍

This morning I joined the second day of sprints at DjangoCon US 2025 in Chicago for a short while. ☕
I had the chance to exchange some final thoughts with the Django Fellows, Natalia and Jacob. 💬
I also supported Tobias in upgrading the PostgreSQL instance for djangoproject.com to version 17. 🐘
As the conference ends, I say goodbye to the American Django community. 👋
Thank you for the warm welcome. 🤗
Chicago is a beautiful city, and I hope to return! 🌆

After a full day of sprints at DjangoCon US 2025, we enjoyed a wonderful evening in downtown Chicago: dinner, great beer, and of course some ice cream 🍦. We closed the night with friendly chats in the hotel lobby before saying goodbye. Meeting people in person is the real added value of community conferences.

Today was a fantastic Sprint day at DjangoCon US 2025! 🇺🇸
Started with coffee by the Chicago riverside, then joined many Django contributors working together around the table. 👩💻
I focused on improving the Django website search and followed progress on django-simple-deploy. 🐛
At lunch we took a short walk to enjoy classic Chicago deep-dish pizza. 🍕
I wrapped up by finalizing my PR and getting valuable feedback — a truly rewarding day of coding and community. 🎊
I finally cracked the code for replacing the search field with a GeneratedField using SearchVector and language—right after presenting a talk on GeneratedField at DjangoCon US 2025! 🚀

This PR was born from an issue I opened a year ago during the sprints in Durham, and now I’m hacking away at it in Chicago’s sprint. 🇺🇸
If you want some Django history and cutting-edge code in one PR, review it, comment, or just drop a meme. 🔍
