Back from Django on the Med 🏖️

This week’s theme was very much Back from Django on the Med 🏖️.

Here’s a quick round-up so far, with more to come, and a guarantee that’ll I’ll miss something.

Django Chat

Will and I kicked off the new season with a retrospective on the event. It’s a short episode, and I think it conveys how significant I think the event is, and ones like it can be, to the community and project.

• Django on the Med | Django Chat🎙️
• Django on the Med - YouTube🎥

Posts

Here’s are the posts I’ve seen so far:

• Looking back at Django on the Med 🏖️ 2026 - Matthias Kestenholz
• Django, arrosticini, and the Adriatic ... Django on The Med Pescara 2026 - Valentino Gagliardi
• My Django on the Med 2026 experience 🏖️ - Annabelle Wiegart
• Alex Hatfield’s write up on LinkedIn

Shout if I missed yours and I’ll add it!

Projects

A couple of projects that came out of the sprints.

• django-bgt Supervised background threads for Django, on top of bgt.
• django-benchmark Benchmark Django projects under different scenarios.

Proposals & PRs

And some overview links to a few of the other outputs:

• Django on the Med tagged DEP PRs
• Django on the Med tagged new features issues
• Django on the Med tagged PRs to Django

This is just a taste. There was much more going on that I wasn’t aware of. It was amazing.
