🚀 Feature Friday: Template partials!

New in Django 6.0, this extension to Django's template language makes it easy to reuse fragments in templates: Great for cutting down the overhead of creating files for small pieces of isolated logic!

🚨 Closing today! Last call for the Malcolm Tredinnick Memorial Prize nominations
www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2025...
If you haven't already, take the chance to show appreciation for a fellow Djangonaut! #Django

English description after the french one. A gauche de la scène, Daniel Garnier-Moiroux qui parle de PassKeys et a droite de la scène, Sandrine qui traduit en LSF pour le public. On peut voir en fond une démonstration de l'utilisation de PassKey sur GitHub. On the left side of the stage, Daniel Garnier-Moiroux talks about PassKeys, and on the right side of the stage, Sandrine translates into French Sign Language for the audience. In the background, we can see a demonstration of how to use PassKey on GitHub.

Ce que j'adore à Paris Web, c'est accessibilité et l'inclusivité de la conférence. Voir les orateurices traduites en LSF et vice versa, c'est génial!
