It's really hard going to bed tonight. I tried my best to squeeze every ounce of #DjangoCon out of this week.

The goal is to support, empower and collaborate. I tried my best and look forward to getting better for next year.

And if we ever get the full @Djangonaut 🚀 team together... 🔥✨💜

I know it's early, but I'm pretty excited about the #DjangoCon US co-writing session kicking off in 15 minutes!

Seeing as #DjangoCon US is next week I want to reshare my "How to have a great DjangoCon" post from my experience last year.

Fun fact: That day I went romping around on my own I inadvertently ended up on a nude beach.

If you speak French and are interested in #Django, you should pick up a virtual ticket to #DjangoCon US. @sabderemane will be hosting a watch party where folks will only be speaking French for a couple of talks.

Hi folks, #DjangoCon US has some lovely tutorials being offered virtually on Sunday Oct 8. You don't need to have a ticket to the remainder of the conference (virtual or in-person).

The tutorials being offered cover:
- PostgreSQL query analysis
- Test driven dev in #Django
- Airflow with Django
- Getting more out of your dev environment with VS Code and Dev Containers
- Integrating Next.js with Wagtail
- Improving front-end work with Django and Hotwire

For the afternoon crowd, 2023 organizer and 2022 speaker @jjudkins shared some wisdom on the benefits of speaking at #DjangoCon US.

Are there any folks willing to be a speaker mentor for #DjangoCon US?

I wrote up my thoughts on why companies using #Django should send their folks to a #DjangoCon.

Short version: investing in the community is an investment in your infrastructure.

Shorter version: send your people to DjangoCon!

Chelsea Troy does a much better job than me advocating for conferences in that area.
