Last sprint morning for me at DjangoCon Europe 2026 in Athens ๐ฌ๐ท
Tried to wrap up a few things I had started, helped where I could, and spent time talking and saying goodbye to many people.
Also gave a hand bringing lunch for everyone, small things but part of the whole experience ๐
Big thanks to the organizers ๐
I'm back from attending Djangocon Athens.
Thank you to organising team and volunteers of DjangoCon Europe 2026 for great time in Athens. Putting together something like this and pulling it off so well is not easy!
It was great to see some old friends and make some new ones too, I'll be coming to the next one for sure. There was some really great talks and workshops, they make me want to get more involved in the Django space in general.
After the sprint day at DjangoCon Europe 2026 ๐ฌ๐ท
We went for a long walk through Athens with the Parthenon in the background, then a great dinner with Greek food and one last drink before calling it a night ๐ท
Always special to spend this kind of time together, especially meeting new people along the way ๐
Afternoon of the first sprint day at DjangoCon Europe 2026 ๐ฌ๐ท
We had a hands-on session to continue the Django + AI workshop from the conference, with a few members of the official AI working group and other sprinters.
Really good discussion, helped clarify quite a few points.
A report will follow ๐
Sprint day at DjangoCon Europe 2026 ๐ฌ๐ท
This morning we kicked off the first sprint session, hosted by Bespote, in a room full of developers working on all sorts of Django topics.
We started by sharing goals, then everyone spread out into different groups and got to work.
Lots of energy in the room, and a great chance to collaborate and move Django forward ๐
