Day 1 of DjangoCon Europe 2026 in Athens is done 🇬🇷
As always, the best part is the people. Old friends, folks I’ve shared so many moments with, volunteers, and lots of new faces.
Also had a few people come up during the day to chat, ask about my talk, share feedback… those small moments really stay with you 🙂
This is the human side of the Django community.
Wrapping up the first day of DjangoCon Europe 2026 with a big dinner in Athens 🇬🇷
After a full day of talks, now sitting at a long table with people from all over Europe, sharing stories and really good Greek food 🙂
These moments are just as important as the talks and workshop.
This morning I presented my talk “AI-Assisted Contributions and Maintainer Load” at DjangoCon Europe 2026 in Athens 🇬🇷
Thanks to everyone who joined, filled the room, and asked thoughtful questions, it really means a lot 🤗
I’ll share slides and more soon 👇

🌺 🇬🇷 What a start!
Day One of DjangoCon Europe 2026 was full of incredible talks, interactive workshops and cool conversations all around. Thank you everyone for bringing such amazing energy! 💌 🔥 Rest up and we'll see you tomorrow for more Django.
Next talk just started at DjangoCon Europe 2026 🎤
Great to see @markush on stage talking about Django’s security process, from triaging and fixes to disclosure and releases, with a look at how AI might impact all of this… really curious about this one 👀
Hello #djangoconeurope #djangoconeu2026 👋🤗
Back after lunch at DjangoCon Europe 2026 and now sitting in a talk by @be_haki 🍽️
He’s diving into Django signals, reliability, and how to make them work better in real-world scenarios… this is one of those topics you don’t think about until it breaks 😄
Last talk of the first day at DjangoCon Europe 2026 🇬🇷
Now listening to Tim Bell 🎤
As tables get extremely large, the abstraction starts to break down and performance issues show up… curious to see how partitioning helps in real-world cases 🙂
Very advanced database stuff for very big tables - @timb07 talked about database partitioning and especially applying partitioning to an already existing database. The screenshot shows one of the queries needed to perform the migration. #DjangoCon
