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.

Django 5.0 beta 1 released
Django 5.0 beta 1 is now available. It represents the second stage in the 5.0
release cycle and is an opportunity for you to try out the changes coming in
Django 5.0.
Django 5.0 brings a deluge of exciting new features which you can read about in `the in-development 5.0 release notes`__.
Only bugs in new features and regressions from earlier versions of Django will
be fixed between now and the 5.0 final release. Translations will be updated
following the "string freeze", which occurs when the release candidate is issued.
The current release schedule calls for a release candidate in a month from
now, and a final release to follow about two weeks after that, scheduled for
December 4th. Early and frequent testing from the community will help minimize
the number of bugs in the release. Updates on the release schedule are available on the Django forum.
As with all alpha and beta packages, this is not for production use. But
if you'd like to take some of the new features for a spin, or to help find and
fix bugs (which should be reported to `the issue tracker`__), you can grab a
copy of the beta package from `our downloads page`__ or on PyPI.
The PGP key ID used for this release is Natalia Bidart: 2EE82A8D9470983E.
Docutils System Messages
System Message: ERROR/3 (<string); backlinks: 1, 2, 3
Anonymous hyperlink mismatch: 3 references but 4 targets.
See "backrefs" attribute for IDs.
