#DjangoCon US is officially over for me. Freaking love this community and event! It perennially convinces me that investing my time and energy into it is worth it.
I'm sure my write up will be concise 😅
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! 🌆

I took it slow.
I took it easy.
I took it with 2 cups of coffee.
and I took it with 2 naps (but *not* while I was driving!)
And I made it home safely by 3 AM.
And all I can think about is that #DjangoCon 2026 is a year away...
This morning's breakfast consisted of a lot of wisdom being shared between @ehmatthes, @programmylife and myself. With a universal serving of admiration for @adamchainz #DjangoCon
It's nice being back in the office (ok, not the INBOX part but the rest) but already missing #djangocon folks. You know if ya'll would just move to Lawrence we could do that all the time, just sayin' 😀
✨ Grateful for @lincolnloop's Gold sponsorship of DjangoCon US 2025!

Here in Chicago Sept 8-12!
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. 🎊
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.
