A comprehensive guide to multi-timezone support in Django

TL;DR: To support multiple timezones in your Django project, you need a way to request your users' specific timezones and create a middleware that uses django.timezone.activate(user_tz) to enable a specific timezone for a user globally on your site. ...

Announcing DSF Working Groups

Today we’re announcing some changes to how the DSF gets work done. We
want to make it easier for people to contribute meaningfully to the
DSF’s mission. Previously, you more or less needed to be a board member
to help; now, anyone can join — or form — a working group to further the
DSF’s mission.

Our intent is, over time, to move the majority of the day-to-day
business of the DSF from the Board down to individual working groups.
This’ll accomplish two things: it’ll make it much easier for folks to
get involved and help the DSF, and it’ll reduce the current bottleneck
where the Board needs to be involved in every decision.

We're tracking all the details — current working groups, info on how to
form new ones — in this Github repository. We currently have the following working groups:

* Code of Conduct: handles reports of violations of Django’s Code of Conduct.
* DjangoCon Europe Support: supports the DC.EU organizers.
* Fellowship: manages the operation of the Django Fellowship program.
* Fundraising: coordinates fundraising efforts, particularly around corporate and major donations.

Most of these groups are currently seeking volunteers! See each group’s
charter doc linked above for instructions on how to volunteer.

Our next steps are going to be spinning up some new working groups under
this structure. We’re planning on three new working groups:

* Event Grants, that’ll oversee our financial support for events.
* Social Media, a working group to step up our presence on social media (including this blog).

If you’d want to join any of these soon-to-be-created groups, contact the
board and express your interest.

And if you’ve got ideas for Working Groups not mentioned above, you should
propose your own! The best first step there would be to contact the board to
get the conversation started.

2024 DSF Board Nominations

Nominations are open for the 2024 Django Software Foundation Board of Directors.

In 2023 we introduced a staggered term for directors, which means at this time there are three positions currently open, with each position serving for two years.

As you know, the Board guides the direction of the marketing, governance and outreach activities of the Django community. We provide funding, resources, and guidance to Django events on a global level. Further we provide support to the Django community with an established Code of Conduct and make decisions and enforcement recommendations for violations. We work closely with our corporate and individual members to raise funds to help support our great community.

In order for our community to continue to grow and advance the Django Web framework, we need your help. The Board of Directors consists of volunteers who are elected to one year terms. This is an excellent opportunity to help advance Django. We can’t do it without volunteers, such as yourself. Anyone including current Board members, DSF Members, or the public at large can apply to the Board. It is open to all.

If you are interested in helping to support the development of Django we’d enjoy receiving your application for the Board of Directors. Please fill out the application form by October 31, 2023 AoE to be considered. If it is still October 31, 2023 somewhere in the world, applications will remain open.

If you have any questions about applying, the work, or the process in general please don’t hesitate to reach out via email to [email protected] and one of us will get back with you shortly.

Thank you for your time and we look forward to working with you in 2024.

The 2023 DSF Board of Directors.

Nominations for 2023 Malcolm Tredinnick Memorial Prize

Hello Everyone!

It is that time of year again when we recognize someone from our community in memory of our friend Malcolm.

Malcolm was an early core contributor to Django and had both a huge influence and impact on Django as we know it today. Besides being knowledgeable he was also especially friendly to new users and contributors. He exemplified what it means to be an amazing Open Source contributor. We still miss him to this day.

The DSF Prize page summarizes the prize nicely:

The Malcolm Tredinnick Memorial Prize is a monetary prize, awarded annually, to the person who best exemplifies the spirit of Malcolm’s work - someone who welcomes, supports, and nurtures newcomers; freely gives feedback and assistance to others, and helps to grow the community. The hope is that the recipient of the award will use the award stipend as a contribution to travel to a community event -- a DjangoCon, a PyCon, a sprint -- and continue in Malcolm’s footsteps.
We will take nominations until Wednesday, November 8th, 2023, AoE, and will announce the winner soon after the next DSF Board meeting in December.

Please make your nominations using this google form.

If you have any questions please reach out to the DSF Board at [email protected].

Djangonaut Space now accepting applications for our next contributor mentorship cohort

We are thrilled to announce that Django has a mentorship program, and that we're open for applicants for our next cohort!

Djangonaut Space is an organization working to onboard and develop open source code contributors to Django and beyond. People sustain the framework and its ecosystem. By inviting more people to participate in this community, and giving them the resources and support to succeed, we aim to develop the future leaders of Django.

Our journey began with our pilot “Djangonaut Space Contributor Program” which ran from July to October 2023 with 6 Djangonauts focussing on contributions to Django core.

In this time our Djangonauts progressed 9 tickets and closed out 4 of them before the 5.0 feature freeze! There were 25 weekly catch ups, 16 one to ones, 154 pull request review comments and 2 presentations from our Django Fellows! Not to mention, 100% of Djangonauts reported that they felt more comfortable engaging in the Django community after the program.
“What I like with Djangonaut Space, we have the feeling of being part of the community, especially by meeting the folks I’ve seen working on Django” - Tushar, Djangonaut
We have also received a grant from the Django Software Foundation! We will use these funds to invest in our Djangonauts and in tools for the program. From all the organizers of Djangonaut Space, thank you so much for your generosity and support.

If you also wish to support this program financially, please reach out to our organiser team: [email protected].

So how does the program work?

Djangonauts are assigned a “Navigator” who guides them on their contributing journey. A Navigator coaches a small group of 3-4 Djangonauts and attends weekly check-ins with them to discuss any challenges they might be facing. Djangonauts also have extra support in the form of a “Captain”. Our Captains organize one to one sessions with Djangonauts to provide extra pastoral support and encouragement. They bring the warmth of the Django community to the program.

As our pilot program was a great success, we are happy to announce that we are accepting applications for our next program, starting January 15th 2024 for a duration of 8 weeks.

How to apply

Please apply here: https://forms.gle/oYVX4mJ27oy7o87f8

If you are interested in supporting our program by being a Navigator or a Captain, please reach out via this form: https://forms.gle/SnJdw9iEEL4ujQ4L9

There are many valuable ways to contribute to Django. If working on the framework is something you dream of doing, we want to help you succeed.

Как создать черный список для токенов JWT в Django

Привет! Недавно нам в одном из проектов было необходимо обеспечить пользователю смену пароля, чтобы при этом происходил выход со всех остальных устройств. Т.к. аутентификация была сделана на JWT токенах, то проблемой стало то, что невозможно вручную истечь токен после создания, он не имеет состояния и храниться на стороне клиента. В этой статье мы разберем генерацию JWT токена с возможностью занесения его в черный список на примере пустого проекта, а также протестируем, полученный результат с помощью Postman.
