It's official - `django.tasks` exists! Coming soon to @djangoproject.com 6.0. 585 days later, the first step (of many) in Django's background tasks journey is finally complete! 🥳

After many iterations, and with valuable training from Red Hat security engineer Martin Prpič (thank you!), I'm now convinced that the DSF should become a CNA. This is already on the agenda to discuss with @webology.bsky.social (our Fellows Board Liaison) next Monday 🎉

Recently, I dealt with an unpleasant PR comment. Instead of acknowledging the misstep, the person deflected and tried to flip the situation. Carlton wisely talks about this:
