@grandstaff I have an important question I've been wondering for the past few weeks.. What of us Django developers that would like to participate, but feel genuinely unsafe going to America right now?

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-a-canadian-man-died-in-ice-custody-now-his-family-is-searching-for/ A Canadian man dead in ICE custody? No way I'm stepping foot in America, I'm not about to get kidnapped and killed by Trump's Gestapo -__-

Have you guys ever considered a #Djangocon Canada? I would love to be a part of it.

I think #Canada as a country is more in-line with the values of the Django Community, and it is a much safer environment for our non-American and LGBTQ+ developers...

I would love to see DjangoCon Canada, and would do anything I can to help that happen.

I will not be going to America this year, but I will definitely watch the talks!

Stay Safe, Hope this years Djangocon US goes well!

I just watched Cory Doctorow's excellent #pyconus2025 keynote: to my mind a powerful presentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydVmzg_SJLw. Thosewho found it relevant might also like to reflect on Eric Sterling's 2012 #djangocon keynote https://pyvideo.org/djangocon-us-2012/djangocon-2012-keynote-eric-sterling.html.

It's interesting hearing warnings about today's malaise from 13 years ago, to some the generation of technologists that have helped to create it. It wasn't a popular keynote, IIRC.

django-template-partials makes this even easier by not making you create full templates for every snippet you want to return. you can define partials in a full template.

All of this together lets you stay in one template file and one view file for longer.

This is Locality of Behavior and lets you move faster!

#DjangoCon

The thesis: If you lean hard into Django, you can produce excellent results without spending double on engineering.

#Django is the perfect framework for the post-ZIRP world.

We need to have another #DjangoCon 2009. My T-shirt from the last one is really starting to show its age:

Edit: added photo. Thanks for the reminder, @adamchainz!

A dark green t-shirt lying on a bed with a blue, textured sheet. The shirt is worn and faded. The neck is starting to fray, and there are small holes visible at the seams. Visible in very faded screen printing on the front are the words ‘djangocon’, with ‘django’ in white lettering, and ‘con’ in a bright green; below that in smaller type in white lettering is ‘2009’.

I just met a young man from Pittsburgh with 4 years of programming/ECE experience who asked about my laptop stickers. We had a great conversation. We chatted about Python, WebDev, embedded, electronics, school, travel - just a wonderful & welcome break from my typical coffee shop hyperfocus.

I encouraged him to get to a #PyConUS or #DjangoCon if it works out at some point. Hopefully we'll all see Travis online or at a convention.

This has happened many times.

Get some #LaptopStickers!

Is there a reason #DjangoCon doesn't have a posters track? Did it have one in the past that just fizzled out?

#PyConUS was the first time I've been to a conference with posters, and it was a lot of fun.

As someone who mostly tends to prefer static material over dynamic for learning (give me docs instead of videos, please), I really got a lot from the posters that were presented this year, as well as the creators who were answering questions.

It made me **really** want to make posters!
