🧑‍💻 Rare opportunity alert: Panic is looking for a Web Services Engineer to maintain and expand our growing flock of Flask + Django web applications, and more.

The job is here in Portland, OR. We can also cover relocation if you're elsewhere in the USA. Panic is a small team with a lot of responsibility on each person, and we work best near each other. (Well, at least two days a week.)

Is this you? Or someone you know? Apply! (Or share!) 🙏 http://panic.com/jobs/

Off the back of the success @djangocms has seen from our involvement in the @djangonaut program are looking at launching an internship in January.

The idea being that some people coming through the program who want to continue to work with us can essentially keep going with their open source journey with the mentorship of me, our fellows and no doubt our community.

Check it out, and let me know what you think!

In case you missed it yesterday, my co-maintainer/co-conspirator @alexgmin and I released https://pypi.org/project/django_wplogin/, a Django plugin to enhance the admin login page, inspired by wordpress.
