@paulox and I are putting together some Django Development Sprints. We're going to do them twice a year, in Pescara, Italy, and Palafrugell, Spain. Autumn and Spring. First one in October 🤞
Three days to get together and work on Django.
We're going with the working title, Django on the Med 🏖️
If that's something you might be interested in, we have a newsletter (Thanks @buttondown ❤️)
Just in case you didn't hear about it yet, Django on the Med 🏖️ is Oct 7-9 in Palafrugell, Spain. Don't miss it! #Django #DjangoOnTheMed
Without attending to #DjangoOnTheMed 🏖 I would never found 3 days to work on database-level delete options. It's nearly done🎉💚 #Django #Python #sprints
![[WiP] Fixed #21961 -- Added support for database level delete options for ForeignKey. by felixxm · Pull Request #19925 · django/django](https://cdn.fosstodon.org/cache/preview_cards/images/055/473/239/original/3c2505d3abbcea34.png)
For the Community Update @djangocon, @paulox asked me for a picture of Palafrugell for his section on Django on the Med 🏖️
Sent him this.
You should come. #DjangoOnTheMed
In the latest DjangoChat episode, Will and Carlton talked about DjangoCon US 2025, the upcoming Django 6.0 (now in feature freeze), and most excitingly, Django on the Med 🏖️
This will be the very first Django sprint event, happening this October in Palafrugell, Spain — organized by me and Carlton 👩💻

Summer approaches. It's getting hot. Slowly nudging our way to more info on Django on the Med 🏖️
We have a web page!
Admittedly it doesn't say much yet. 🚀
Just looking at the Key Roadmap Items from the informal roadmapping session that @thibaudcolas facilitated for Django last year.
https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/informal-roadmap-retrospective-workshops-for-django/26835/28
"Django active developers Sprints" was Number 2.
That means you should all come to Django on the Med 🏖️. Just saying. #Django #DjangoOnTheMed
The Django poñata proved surprisingly resilient! Happy Birthday Django! 🎂🥳🎉🎁 #DjangoOnTheMed #django #DjangoBirthday
The second morning of Django On The Med 🏖️ just finished and it’s amazing how much we achieved together.
Many new ideas and feature proposals came up while working side by side. Sometimes, being together really helps speed up things. 💪
We also had fun breaking the pony-shaped piñata! 🐴 Now it’s time to relax a bit before the afternoon.
Sending our greetings to Wagtail Space 2025 as it’s about to start! 🌍
> The Django on the Med 🏖️ name (and the emoji) is a bit of fun — it's a holiday theme based on the location — but we have serious goals.
We added a “What are we going to achieve?” and “What does success look like?” to the Django on the Med 🏖️ website. Two goals: get you thinking, and help you make the case to your boss, for attendance or sponsoring. Check it out! 🦄
