Django Software Foundation at EuroPython 2025: Celebrating 20 Years of the Django framework
"This year was extra special: Django turned 20 years old! The milestone was marked in style, starting on Wednesday evening at Pyvo, the local Python community meetup in Prague, where we celebrated with a cake. On Friday, the celebration continued with an open-space gathering at the conference - and, of course, another cake 🎂. For people who missed this, there are other local Django birthday events running through the rest of 2025!"
"The DSF shared stickers co-branded with their unofficial pony mascot and the EuroPython and EuroPython Society logos. These became an instant hit with attendees, combining Django's playful mascot with EuroPython Society's identity. The Django community was also active during the sprint weekend. Over two days, 21 participants worked on Django, tackling 12 issues and merging 4 pull requests. For newcomers, it was a welcoming way to start contributing; for experienced developers, it was a chance to share knowledge and push the project forward together."
The Django Software Foundation maintained a booth at EuroPython to showcase the framework and connect attendees with maintainers. Django celebrated its 20th anniversary with a cake at Pyvo and an open-space gathering at the conference, with additional local birthday events planned through 2025. The DSF distributed co-branded stickers featuring an unofficial pony mascot alongside EuroPython Society logos, which proved popular. During the sprint weekend, 21 participants addressed 12 issues and merged 4 pull requests, providing an accessible entry point for newcomers and a collaborative space for experienced developers to share knowledge and advance the project.
