Getting Started With Open Source Through Community Events Posted by Lilian on Sept. 8, 2025

All the event-based opportunities to get involved with open source ⭐️ www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2025... by our community member Lilian

Consider a scenario: You have a private repo containing a package. Another repo depends on that package during the build process.

On local, SSH cloning works fine (apart from building wheels) but how to make that work in CI/CD?

From communications lens, here’s the rituals I’ve woven into my event-organizing muscle memory as an Organizer at @djangonaut.space 👩🏻‍🚀

I code like a lady. Just wow! Thanks for the confidence boost. 🫶🏻
Also, the birthday django pony is awesome 🤩

oh, so coooool! “The Give-a-Damn machine” could be the name of our next fundraising campaign, haha 😂

Not a tutorial. Just me thinking out loud about Agentic AI, which I started exploring last week.

Why is a single agent good to start with? When might multiple agents make sense? Where do graphs fit in?

Would love to know more opinions! 📩
