The session is based around the principles of group learning, sustainability, and longevity - our three crucial pillars that ensure the knowledge gained is retained and applied effectively within the community and beyond!
This session we will be having Django Core teams, a Django CMS team, and one team that does a bit of Django Core and some third-party packages as well! We understand that some folks only want to work on Django core and that's perfectly fine.
Please take some time to explore these projects and discover which one aligns the best with your passion.
We recommend that you do a little bit of reading on each of them to see if it'd be something you're interested in working on.
