We spent another wonderful evening together in the lovely town of Calella de Palafrugell. 🌆 Dinner was amazing again, with great conversations about food and especially the local wine. 🍷 We ended the night with delicious ice cream and a peaceful walk by the sea, the air is still warm and full of Mediterranean calm. 🌊 #DjangoOnTheMed #Django #Community #Mediterranean #Sprints #IceCreamSelfie CC @npub1l0ck...kt92

Another wonderful afternoon spent with amazing people 😊 Taking time to recharge after a morning of intense work is essential to balance our energy and take care of ourselves 🏖️ During big conferences, it’s usually hard to find moments like this, and surely not on a beautiful beach of the Costa Brava 🌊 #DjangoOnTheMed #Community #Sprint #Django #CostaBrava CC @npub1l0ck...kt92

The second morning of Django On The Med 🏖️ just finished and it’s amazing how much we achieved together. Many new ideas and feature proposals came up while working side by side. Sometimes, being together really helps speed up things. 💪 We also had fun breaking the pony-shaped piñata! 🐴 Now it’s time to relax a bit before the afternoon. Sending our greetings to Wagtail Space 2025 as it’s about to start! 🌍 #DjangoOnTheMed #Django #Community #OpenSource CC @npub1l0ck...kt92 @npub1apg2...0ejz

The second day of Django On The Med is starting here in Palafrugell. 🏖️ We want to thank the City Council of Palafrugell for providing the venue. 🇪🇸 After a short bike ride to get there and a nice breakfast offered by Python España, we’re ready to keep working together to make Django even better! 😊🚴‍♂️ #DjangoOnTheMed #Django #Community #OpenSource #Sprints CC @npub1l0ck...kt92

Django On The Med 🏖️ has just started! 😊 I’m so happy to be here with so many amazing people from the Django community. Some are old friends, and others I’ll get to know in the next few days. 🌞 The day began with a lovely walk from the beach to the center of Palafrugell, and now the work is really starting! 💻 #DjangoOnTheMed #Django #Community #OpenSource #Sprints CC @npub1l0ck...kt92

After a long preparation phase — and three years since I wrote my article “My Django active developers Sprints proposal 🌅” after DjangoCon US 2022 in San Diego — Django sprints are finally happening for real! ✨ This morning starts Django On The Med 🏖️, in Palafrugell, right on the Mediterranean. I’ll share this experience with you all! 🌊 #DjangoOnTheMed #Django #OpenSource #Community #Sprints CC @npub1l0ck...kt92

What if Django had an automatic ORM feature matrix — showing which features each database really supports, straight from the code? 🧩 I’ve shared some ideas (with demo data!) on how it could work and why it’d be great for Django’s docs 💡

Django: one ORM to rule all databases 💍

In the latest DjangoChat episode, Will and Carlton talked about DjangoCon US 2025, the upcoming Django 6.0 (now in feature freeze), and most excitingly, Django on the Med 🏖️ This will be the very first Django sprint event, happening this October in Palafrugell, Spain — organized by me and Carlton 👩‍💻 👉 Watch Carlton introducing it here: #Django #DjangoChat #DjangoOnTheMed CC @npub120gm...wm7n @npub1l0ck...kt92 @npub1mjxs...httg @npub1mfsn...ngvj

I finally cracked the code for replacing the search field with a GeneratedField using SearchVector and language—right after presenting a talk on GeneratedField at DjangoCon US 2025! 🚀

This PR was born from an issue I opened a year ago during the sprints in Durham, and now I’m hacking away at it in Chicago’s sprint. 🇺🇸 If you want some Django history and cutting-edge code in one PR, review it, comment, or just drop a meme. 🔍
