Why give to the Django Software Foundation?

Our main focus is direct support of Django's developers. This means:

• Organizing and funding development sprints so that Django's developers can meet in person.
• Helping key developers attend these sprints and other community events by covering travel expenses to official Django events.
• Providing financial assistance to community development and outreach projects such as Django Girls.
• Providing financial assistance to individuals so they can attend major conferences and events.
• Funding the Django Fellowship program, which provides full-time staff to perform community management tasks in the Django community.

Django Fellowship Program

The biggest expense of the DSF is the Django Fellowship program. It's a project where paid contractors are engaged to manage some of the administrative and community management tasks of the Django project to support rapid development of Django itself.

The Django Fellowship program has a major positive impact on how Django is developed and maintained. The Django Fellows triage 10-15 new tickets each week and review and merge around fifteen non-trivial patches a week from the community. Release blocking and severe bugs aren't postponed indefinitely. Major releases happen according to an 8 month schedule and bug fix releases occur monthly.

For more details, you can read retrospectives for the first three months of the program, 2015, and 2016.

The Django Fellows are a resource to help review patches and contributions from the community, and the community loves that:

The pilot program was a great success! It resulted in more code review, faster turnaround on pull requests and tickets, and much better adherence to a release schedule than we've ever had before. I very much hope it returns, and my company has just become a corporate member of the Django Software Foundation to help that happen.

If you use Django on a daily basis and care about the development of Django itself, you should donate today (may be tax deductible). Only with your support can we make sure that the web framework you base your work on can grow to be even better in the coming years.

Django Girls Outreach

Supporting Django Girls workshops is a significant priority for the Django Software Foundation. Django Girls workshops are organized by volunteers and are provided as free events for women who want to learn to code. The workshop serves as an introduction to Python and Django, where attendees learn usable skills to build their first web app.
