10 years ago I organized my, & the, 1st #DjangoGirls event in Seoul, South Korea: 70/425 applicants accepted, it was a huge success. And was the start of a wonderful decade that launched my #Django community involvement and career. 💻

I feel grateful, proud, and inspired to keep paying it forward.🧡

Screenshot "Rachell Calhoun, October 2, 2015. We kicked off today with installations, wine, photos, and laughs. Thanks to everyone that came out and see you tomorrow! (I'm the 'L'!!!!)." Below this message there are five people waving sparklers spelling out "Seoul" in the dark night outside on a roof.

I have some thoughts about a #Django homepage redesign. Anyone interested on working on it with me?

Want to work on a homepage site redesign?

I maybe struck a nerve in Mastodon when mentioning that I think the djangoproject.com homepage would benefit from a fresh redesign. So, to broaden the request beyond the fediverse, I decided to also p...

I packed up 20 sticker packs (designed by @sjbitcode.bsky.social!) the other day and mailed them halfway across the world. 💚

Hoping people like them and that we can help do our small part in celebrating the #Django 20th birthday in as many places as possible! 🎂

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! 🥳

Stranger Things on Broadway was absolutely spectacular 👏 Sooo many cool special effects, amazing cast, references to the main storyline...and jumpscares! 🫣 10/10 would recommend if you're a fan of the Netflix show!

I will be at #DjangoConUS September 8-9 in Chicago. In case this sparks some ideas, here are some things I’ve been thinking about recently:

- #Django deployments
- #SQLite in production
- bootstrapping
- Django marketing
- djp.readthedocs.io

Come find me to chat about these things (or anything)!
