@grandstaff I have an important question I've been wondering for the past few weeks.. What of us Django developers that would like to participate, but feel genuinely unsafe going to America right now?

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-a-canadian-man-died-in-ice-custody-now-his-family-is-searching-for/ A Canadian man dead in ICE custody? No way I'm stepping foot in America, I'm not about to get kidnapped and killed by Trump's Gestapo -__-

Have you guys ever considered a #Djangocon Canada? I would love to be a part of it.

I think #Canada as a country is more in-line with the values of the Django Community, and it is a much safer environment for our non-American and LGBTQ+ developers...

I would love to see DjangoCon Canada, and would do anything I can to help that happen.

I will not be going to America this year, but I will definitely watch the talks!

Stay Safe, Hope this years Djangocon US goes well!

I just watched Cory Doctorow's excellent #pyconus2025 keynote: to my mind a powerful presentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydVmzg_SJLw. Thosewho found it relevant might also like to reflect on Eric Sterling's 2012 #djangocon keynote https://pyvideo.org/djangocon-us-2012/djangocon-2012-keynote-eric-sterling.html.

It's interesting hearing warnings about today's malaise from 13 years ago, to some the generation of technologists that have helped to create it. It wasn't a popular keynote, IIRC.
