"The Djangonaut Space thrives on collaboration and shared passion. Dive in, learn from the best, and contribute your skills – at your own pace. Whether you share code, insights, or just soak up the knowledge, you'll have a ton of fun on your journey of contributing to the Django ecosystem."
"When you face a problem ask for help because someone could have faced it before and know how to fix it, or maybe they don't have a solution but a change of perspective is something that could enrich you."
"Ask the question! There are no stupid questions"
"Pace yourself. Celebrate your wins, celebrate your "failures", they are equally important. Always remember your contributions are significant, no matter how small you think they are, or how big you think the codebase is. Open source is fun, so have some fun while at it!"
"Go for it!"
"To really make the most of the program, it's not just about what you do while you're in it, but also what you do once it's over. Stick to the steps(no matter how small) what you were taking within the program, and you'll be on a path to be a well rounded developer."
"Do not be afraid of not being good enough to join the program. You can learn any skill, but motivation matters most. Make sure you have the time, though."
"For me, you need to choose the right issue adapted on your level on Django and python. Even it's starting on the documentation."
"If you find yourself wondering about something, ask! Don't be afraid to reach out to your navigator or captain or organizers."
And we even had one poem!
"Each ticket on the Trac explored, each discussion on the Django forum initiated, each line of code contributed,
or each insight on the Discord shared, becomes a Django-knot.
These knots aren’t just lines of code, but threads of connection woven during Djangonaut Space together as a community.
If I go a bit poetic way, Through Django Dev’s profiles, fellows of the frame,
A beacon pierced the nebula’s haze, Djangonaut Space, forever to acclaim. Mentorship’s light, courage fuelled by stardust with a supernova’s call,
This insightful program has been my launchpad, my answer to it all."
