I’ve published a retrospective on Django On The Med 🏖️

It’s a follow-up written a few months later, reflecting on what worked, what didn’t, and the value that emerged beyond GitHub activity, when the focus was on people and being together.

Django On The Med: A Contributor Sprint Retrospective

A personal retrospective on Django On The Med, three months later. From the first idea to the actual contributor sprint, and how a simple format based on focused mornings and open afternoons created unexpected value for people and the Django open source community.

Two weeks ago, I joined Will Vincent and Carlton Gibson on the DjangoChat podcast to talk about Django On The Med 🏖️

We had just returned from Palafrugell after three amazing sprint days, and it was the perfect moment to share how it all came together, what we built, and what’s next. 🎙️

Here’s an unpublished photo of @felixxm during Django On The Med 2025 🏖️

He kept coding with full focus even after all tables and chairs were removed and we were ready for lunch 🧘‍♀️

At that moment he was working on a pull request that adds database-level delete options for related fields which makes Django 6.1 more efficient by avoiding unnecessary queries 🚀

He has just merged this PR, making the new feature available for everyone 🎉

Django 6.1 will support database-level delete options for related fields 🚀 The database variants are much more efficient because they avoid fetching related objects ⚡ This is a great win for Django on the Med 🏖️ Let's dance 💃🕺

I'm so excited about this PR to add per page invalidation to cache_page decorated views in Django. I've wanted this for ages.

Coming out of Django on the Med 🏖️, BCN local and new Django contributor, Ramiro Nocelli causally opens a PR on one of those 18 year old tickets that we have lying around. 👊

It’s such a joy to see the first Django On The Med sprints come to life so beautifully. 🏖️ I had first suggested this idea back in 2022, and helping organize it together with @[email protected] made it even more special. 😊 I’m truly grateful to everyone who joined, shared their energy, and made these three days such a positive experience. 🙌 Read my post collecting all the Mastodon moments from the event: 👉 https://www.paulox.net/2025/10/12/my-django-on-the-med-2025/ #DjangoOnTheMed
