I just presented “The Django UUID Story” at @djangocon 2026 in Chicago! 🇺🇸
I talked about Django's UUID support, my small part in that story, and how my first Django contribution started with UUIDs during the 2017 sprints.
It felt especially fitting to end by inviting everyone to join the sprints and make their own contribution. 💚
Thanks to everyone who came! 🤗

In just over half an hour I’ll be on stage for “The Django UUID Story”. 🦄
If you’re here in Chicago, I’d be very happy to see you at 3:40 PM in the Sauganash Ballroom at voco Chicago Downtown. If you’re following online, I hope you’ll tune in too!
Curious what it’s about? The talk page has the details:

I’ve been looking forward to @wsvincent “Modern Django Deployments in 2026” at @djangocon
We’ve chatted about it over the last few days, and I saw how much work he put into refining the slides and presentation.
Really happy to see it on stage—and to watch people around me nod along as Will goes through the familiar pain points of deploying Django. Clearly, a lot of this resonates. 🙂

We’ve just wrapped up the Django Software Foundation members Open Space at @djangocon
It was great to meet everyone and share updates on the work of the DSF board and Steering Council working groups. Lots of interest in fundraising, the Executive Director search, and Django events around the world.
And we get a final selfie with Jeff, Afi & everyone. 📸

Enter the Ecosystem: Contributing to Django Open Source Projects

I'm listening to @jacobtylerwalls talk about auto-prefetching and model field fetch modes in Django 6.1.
I met Jacob last year, then again at Django on the Med, and saw an earlier version of this talk at DjangoCon Europe in Athens in April.
It's really interesting to see how both the feature and the talk have evolved in just a few months, and always a pleasure to hear Jacob explain Django's ORM. 😊

DjangoCon US Day 3 starts with the @kmtracey keynote on Django 6.x 💚
Karen has been part of the Django community since 2006, and I've had the pleasure of knowing her for a few years.
After twenty years of Django releases, it's wonderful to see how genuinely excited she still is about this one, and to see Django still evolving enough to make people feel that way.

Third morning in Chicago, starting with an early coffee outdoors with @wsvincent and @programmylife and a beautiful view of downtown at sunrise. ☕🌅
Good coffee, a quiet city, and a nice conversation, a pretty perfect way to get ready for the final day of DjangoCon US 2026.

@djangocon speaker dinner tonight in Chicago. 🇺🇸
After a full day of talks, it was great to slow down and share dinner with speakers and organizers right here at the conference venue: good food, conversations, familiar and new faces, and a beautiful Chicago sunset. 🌇
A lovely moment to relax and connect before another busy day.
Tomorrow it's my turn on stage. 🦄

@sqlliz is on stage with what's new in PostgreSQL 18 & 19. 🐘
Meeting Elizabeth at DjangoCon US and talking about the latest PostgreSQL features, and which ones we'd love to bring into Django, has become a tradition for me.
Yesterday we even exchanged slide feedback: she showed me hers, I showed her some from tomorrow's UUID talk. Maybe that's why I've been mentioned a few times today. 😄
Always a pleasure.

After lunch, I'm watching @sabderemane tell the story of her first contribution to djangoproject.com: adding dark mode. 🌙
I remember that PR well, and smiled when one of my old review comments appeared in her slides. Since then, I've watched Sarah contribute more and more, especially on accessibility, and become Co-Chair of the Website Working Group.
It's wonderful to see that journey told from the stage. 💚

After the morning break, I'm enjoying @frank and @calvinhp comparing @django and @FastAPI .
It's fun to watch two very experienced consultants and long-time members of the Django community challenge each other in such a friendly way.
I especially like that this feels constructive rather than competitive: not “which one wins?”, but understanding where each approach fits best.
