Django Software Foundation

The Django Software Foundation (DSF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting, supporting, and advancing the open-source Django web framework, a high-level Python-based tool that enables rapid development of secure and maintainable web applications.^[1]^[2] Established in June 2008 by the Django community, the DSF was created to ensure the long-term sustainability of the project, which originated from internal tools developed by programmers at The World Company in 2003 and was publicly released under the BSD license in July 2005.^[3]^[4] The foundation oversees the governance and direction of Django through a board of directors elected by its members, which include individual contributors and corporate sponsors who provide financial and other support.^[2] Key activities of the DSF encompass funding core development efforts, organizing community events such as DjangoCon conferences, offering legal protections for contributors, and managing financial resources through donations and sponsorships to foster an inclusive and vibrant ecosystem around the framework.^[2] As of 2025, the DSF continues to play a pivotal role in maintaining Django's status as one of the most popular web frameworks, used by major organizations for scalable web projects.^[5]^[6]

History

Founding

The Django Software Foundation (DSF) was established on June 17, 2008, as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to oversee and maintain the Django web framework.^[3] The foundation's initial purpose was to promote, support, and advance the open-source Django project, which had gained significant traction since its public release in 2005.^[7]^[3] This formal structure addressed the framework's rapid adoption by developers worldwide, ensuring coordinated development and community resources.^[7] The founding responded directly to Django's transformation from an internal content management system developed in 2003–2004 at World Online, the web operation of the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper, into a prominent public open-source tool requiring sustainable governance.^[7]^[8] By incorporating as a non-profit, the DSF aligned Django with established open-source ecosystems, such as those of Apache and Mozilla, to foster long-term viability amid its expanding influence.^[3]

Key Milestones

The Django Software Foundation (DSF), established in 2008 to support the Django web framework, has marked several significant developments in its organizational growth and community engagement since then.^[1] In 2023, Chaim Kirby assumed the role of DSF President, continuing into 2024, during which the foundation focused on expanding its operational structure.^[1] A key initiative was the late 2023 announcement and early 2024 launch of Working Groups to handle specialized tasks, including social media management and enforcement of the code of conduct.^[9] These groups enabled targeted efforts, such as producing 166 social media posts and achieving over 100% growth in LinkedIn followers by the end of 2024.^[10] The DSF has sustained participation in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program to mentor new contributors, with four projects accepted in 2024 involving participants Aman Pandey, Salvo Polizzi, Bendegúz Csirmaz, and Shafiya Adzhani.^[10] Complementing this, the Djangonaut Space program, introduced in recent years to provide group mentorship for open-source contributions, reached a milestone in 2024 with three sessions accommodating 46 participants and resulting in 80 merged pull requests to Django and related packages.^[10] In 2025, under new President Thibaud Colas, the DSF supported celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the Django framework, including events at EuroPython 2025, and released the results of the annual Django Developers Survey in October, based on responses from over 4,600 developers collected from November 2024 to January 2025.^[11]^[12] The 2024 DSF Board election led to Thibaud Colas's selection as President for 2025, signaling continued leadership evolution to support the foundation's objectives.^[6]

Mission and Objectives

Core Mission

The Django Software Foundation (DSF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting, promoting, protecting, and advancing the Django Web framework and its global community of developers.^[10] This core mission underscores the DSF's commitment to ensuring the framework's ongoing development and accessibility for developers worldwide, positioning it as a steward of open-source innovation in web technologies.^[1] Central to the DSF's purpose is the alignment with Django's philosophy of enabling "perfectionists with deadlines" through rapid yet responsible development practices.^[10] By emphasizing sustainability, the DSF fosters an environment where high-quality, efficient web solutions can be built without compromising long-term maintainability, supporting features like reusability and pluggability that define Django's design.^[13] As the primary steward of the Django project, the DSF leverages its non-profit status to secure financial and legal stability, guaranteeing the framework's viability for future generations of developers.^[14] This stewardship extends to promoting an inclusive ecosystem that encourages diverse participation, thereby protecting the project's integrity and community-driven evolution.^[15]

Strategic Goals

The Django Software Foundation (DSF) outlines its strategic goals in the 2024 Annual Impact Report, emphasizing sustainable growth and long-term viability for the Django web framework. A primary objective is to raise between $500,000 and $1,000,000 in 2025 to support key hires and programs, including an Executive Director to professionalize operations, additional Django Fellows for maintenance and development, and expanded grants for features like WebAuthn integration and API enhancements.^[10]^[16] To enhance governance, the DSF plans to revise its bylaws for improved decision-making and transparency, alongside renewing technical leadership through the proactive Django 6.x Steering Council.^[10]^[17] These efforts align with the foundation's core mission of promoting and protecting Django by fostering a more robust organizational structure. Community outreach and inclusivity form another pillar, with targeted initiatives such as expanding Working Groups, supporting the Djangonaut Space mentorship program—which engaged 46 participants and resulted in 80 merged pull requests—and earning the CHAOSS DEI Bronze Badge to prioritize newcomer experiences and diversity.^[10]^[18] Finally, the DSF commits to safeguarding Django's intellectual property through dedicated Fellows who handle security releases and triage tickets, while advancing adoption in diverse regions via grants to 49 Django Girls events and eight PyCon conferences worldwide.^[10]

Governance and Structure

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of the Django Software Foundation (DSF) serves as the primary leadership body, responsible for guiding the organization's strategic direction, financial oversight, and community initiatives. It consists of seven volunteer members elected to staggered two-year terms, ensuring continuity and diverse representation from the Django community.^[19] The board includes key officer positions—President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer—elected internally by the board members to handle executive functions such as chairing meetings, managing operations, and maintaining records.^[1] Elections for the board occur annually, with DSF members voting to fill approximately half the seats (typically three or four) to promote ongoing community involvement and representation.^[19] Eligible voters include individual and corporate DSF members, and the process is managed through open nominations followed by a ranked-choice voting system to select candidates.^[20] This structure helps maintain the board's alignment with the broader Django ecosystem while providing oversight for working groups and other foundation activities. As of 2025, the board comprises Thibaud Colas (President), Sarah Abderemane (Vice President), Tom Carrick (Secretary), Jacob Kaplan-Moss (Treasurer), Abigail Gbadago, Jeff Triplett, and Paolo Melchiorre.^[6] These members were installed following the 2025 election, where four new directors—Abigail Gbadago, Jeff Triplett, Paolo Melchiorre, and Tom Carrick—joined incumbents Sarah Abderemane and Thibaud Colas, who were re-elected.^[6] In 2024, the board included Chaim Kirby (President), Çağıl Uluşahin Sonmez (Vice President), Thibaud Colas (Secretary), Jacob Kaplan-Moss (Treasurer), Sarah Abderemane, Katie McLaughlin, and Kátia Nakamura.^[21] This group oversaw transitions leading into the 2025 term, reflecting the board's role in fostering stable leadership for the foundation's growth.^[22]

Working Groups

The Django Software Foundation (DSF) established working groups in late 2023 to distribute operational responsibilities among volunteer teams, enabling more efficient handling of day-to-day activities that support the foundation's mission. These groups were formally announced on October 13, 2023, as a mechanism to empower community members to contribute to specific areas, with the groups becoming operational throughout 2024. Overseen by the DSF board, which approves new groups and appoints liaisons, the working groups focus on tactical execution rather than strategic decision-making, allowing the board to concentrate on high-level governance.^[9]^[10] Key working groups include those dedicated to website maintenance, fundraising, social media, and code of conduct enforcement, each addressing essential operational needs. The Website working group manages the maintenance and updates of djangoproject.com, ensuring the site's functionality, content accuracy, and user accessibility to serve the global Django community. The Fundraising working group coordinates efforts to secure donations and sponsorships, targeting corporate partners to fund DSF initiatives such as events and fellowships; for example, it leads annual campaigns and grant applications to sustain the foundation's resources.^[23] Meanwhile, the Social Media working group oversees official channels like the @djangoproject accounts on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), promoting community engagement, sharing updates, and amplifying Django-related news to foster broader participation. The Code of Conduct working group plays a critical role in upholding community standards by investigating and resolving reports of violations, ensuring inclusive and safe environments across Django events, online forums, and collaborations. This includes developing response protocols and educating participants on guidelines to prevent harassment and promote diversity. Complementing these, the Events Support working group handles logistical coordination for global Django-related gatherings, such as DjangoCon conferences and code sprints, including organizer assistance with planning, funding requests, and post-event evaluations to enhance community building. Through these efforts, the working groups collectively manage resource allocation—such as budgeting for tools or travel—and enforce community guidelines, directly supporting the board's oversight of the foundation's sustainability and growth.^[24]

Activities and Programs

Community Initiatives

The Django Software Foundation (DSF) supports several mentorship and educational programs to foster developer engagement and skill-building within the Django community. One key initiative is Djangonaut Space, a free eight-week group mentoring program designed to onboard new contributors by providing structured guidance in a self-paced environment. In 2024, Djangonaut Space engaged 46 participants, resulting in 80 merged pull requests that contributed to Django's core and third-party packages.^[10] In 2025, the program continued with multiple sessions, including Session 5 in September.^[25] Another prominent effort is the DSF's backing of Django Girls, a global program aimed at promoting women and non-binary individuals in technology through hands-on workshops. In 2024, the DSF funded 49 such events, helping to expand access to Django development skills and aligning with the foundation's commitment to inclusivity.^[10]^[26] Additionally, the DSF participates in Google Summer of Code (GSoC), offering students opportunities to work on real-world Django enhancements under mentorship. The 2024 program involved four students—Aman Pandey, Salvo Polizzi, Bendegúz Csirmaz, and Shafiya Adzhani—who completed projects focused on improving Django's functionality and ecosystem.^[10]^[27] The DSF also participated in GSoC 2025, marking its 20th year, with selected contributors announced in May 2025.^[28]

Events and Grants

The Django Software Foundation (DSF) actively supports the global Django and Python communities through targeted sponsorships of conferences and events, enabling broader participation and knowledge sharing. In 2024, the DSF provided funding for DjangoCon Europe, held in Vigo, Spain, where community organizers collaborated with DSF to facilitate talks, workshops, and sprints focused on Django development. Similarly, the DSF sponsored DjangoCon US in Durham, North Carolina, offering financial assistance for event operations and attendee accessibility features such as opportunity grants for underrepresented groups.^[10] In 2025, DjangoCon US was held in Chicago, Illinois, from September 8–12.^[29] Beyond Django-specific gatherings, the DSF extended its support to eight PyCon events across diverse regions, including PyCon Philippines, PyCon DE in Germany, PyCon Namibia and PyCon ZIM in southern Africa, PyCon Uganda, PyCon Portugal, PyCon Tanzania, and PyCon France. These sponsorships covered logistical and programmatic needs, promoting Django's integration within the wider Python ecosystem. Additionally, the DSF maintained a presence at EuroPython 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic, to foster connections and highlight Django contributions to Python users. In 2025, the DSF participated in EuroPython in Warsaw, Poland, celebrating 20 years of Django.^[10]^[30] The DSF's grants program serves as a key financial support mechanism for community-driven projects, disbursing a total of $38,172 in 2024 to fund initiatives such as conference attendance, travel stipends, and workshops. Allocations prioritized global accessibility, with 38.4% directed worldwide, 24.8% to Africa, 18.6% to North America, 12.4% to Europe, and smaller portions to Oceania, Asia, and South America; these grants supported events like DjangoCon Africa alongside grassroots efforts, including 49 Django Girls workshops that introduce Django to newcomers, particularly women and underrepresented groups.^[10]

Membership

Individual Members

Individual membership in the Django Software Foundation (DSF) is open to individuals who have made significant contributions to the Django project or broader community, such as code development, documentation improvements, event organization, or participation in working groups.^[31] These contributions are evaluated by the DSF Board to ensure they align with the foundation's mission of supporting Django's development and sustainability. For instance, eligibility expanded in 2024 to recognize a wider range of activities beyond traditional coding, including community leadership roles.^[32] Notable examples of individual members appointed in recent years include Sage Abdullah, who began contributing to Django in 2019 through the Google Summer of Code and contributes to the accessibility team,^[10]^[33] and Emma Delescolle, who began contributing to Django in 2009 and was elected to the 6.x Steering Council in 2024.^[10] These appointments highlight the DSF's emphasis on diverse, sustained involvement from supporters worldwide. Benefits of individual membership include voting rights in DSF Board elections and key community decisions, providing members with a direct role in governance.^[31] Members also gain access to exclusive updates, resources, and public recognition in annual reports, fostering deeper engagement with the Django ecosystem.^[5] Unlike corporate memberships, individual membership requires no financial dues and is not available for purchase; it serves as a non-monetary way for contributors to support DSF operations through their ongoing efforts.^[31]

Corporate Members

The Django Software Foundation (DSF) sustains its operations through corporate memberships, which provide essential unrestricted funding for initiatives such as the Django Fellowship program, community grants, and event support.^[34] These memberships begin at the Bronze tier and include higher levels designed to accommodate varying levels of organizational commitment, with annual dues scaling accordingly.^[16] Corporate membership tiers are structured as follows: Bronze ($2,000+ annually), Gold (12,500+), Platinum ($30,000+), and Diamond ($100,000).^[34] ^[16] In 2024, contributions from corporate members totaled $195,300, representing a significant portion of the DSF's overall revenue of $296,583 and enabling a surplus that bolsters long-term sustainability.^[10] Key benefits for corporate members include prominent logo placement on the DSF's official website and fundraising pages, and public alignment with open-source advocacy to enhance corporate reputation within the developer community.^[16] ^[34] These perks encourage businesses to invest in the ecosystem while ensuring contributions remain non-directive, preserving the project's independence.^[34] Notable examples of corporate members include Platinum-level sponsors Sentry and JetBrains, which provide substantial funding to support DSF priorities like developer fellowships and global outreach without influencing technical decisions or project direction.^[35] Gold-level contributors such as PCPartPicker and DEFNA, along with Bronze members like NRW.BANK, further exemplify how diverse organizations sustain the foundation's mission through consistent financial backing.^[35] Corporate memberships play a foundational role in the DSF's overall governance by supplying the resources needed for board-led decision-making and community programs.^[1]

Awards

Malcolm Tredinnick Memorial Prize

The Malcolm Tredinnick Memorial Prize was established by the Django Software Foundation (DSF) in 2013 to honor Malcolm Tredinnick, a prominent core developer who joined the Django project in 2006 and contributed extensively to its code, documentation, and community until his sudden death from a brain aneurysm on March 17, 2013.^[36]^[37] The prize serves as the DSF's flagship award, recognizing Tredinnick's legacy of technical excellence and selfless service to open-source software development.^[37] Awarded annually, the prize acknowledges individuals who have made outstanding contributions to advancing the Django web framework through avenues such as code improvements, documentation enhancements, or community leadership.^[37] Nominees are selected based on their impact in fostering Django's growth, with the DSF Board evaluating submissions to identify those embodying Tredinnick's collaborative spirit.^[38] The recipient receives a $2,000 cash stipend, intended to support community participation like travel to events such as DjangoCon or PyCon, along with a commemorative plaque.^[39] In 2024, the prize was awarded to Rachell Calhoun for her pivotal work in promoting accessibility and inclusivity within the Django ecosystem, including contributions to documentation, diversity initiatives, and community support that have broadened participation among underrepresented groups.^[39]^[37] In 2025, the prize was awarded to Tim Schilling for his significant contributions through work on Django Packages and efforts in supporting and mentoring others in the ecosystem.^[40]^[37]

Other Recognitions

The Django Fellows program offers paid contractor positions funded by the Django Software Foundation (DSF) to support core maintenance of the Django web framework.^[33] These roles focus on critical tasks such as ticket triaging, code reviews, mentoring new contributors, and ensuring framework stability, allowing experienced developers to dedicate professional time to open-source work.^[16] Initiated in 2014, the program has significantly enhanced Django's development pace by handling 10-15 new tickets weekly and fostering sustainable contributions.^[16] In 2025, the DSF welcomed Jacob Tyler Walls as its newest Django Fellow, acknowledging his extensive experience with Django, contributions to the core codebase, and active participation in the community.^[41] Walls's appointment, joining Sarah Boyce and Natalia Bidart, underscores the program's role in retaining talent and promoting diversity in core team roles.^[41]^[16] Beyond fellowships, the DSF honors event organizers and long-term contributors through its annual impact reports, which spotlight individuals whose efforts strengthen the community.^[10] These recognitions emphasize sustained volunteerism, such as leadership in local Django events and ongoing project support, without formal prize structures.^[10] The DSF's initiatives also foster ties to the wider Python ecosystem, with community members frequently nominated for Python Software Foundation (PSF) Community Service Awards due to their Django-related work.^[42] For instance, organizers of DjangoCon events have received PSF honors for promoting inclusivity and global outreach, reflecting the interconnected impact of DSF efforts.^[42]

Impact and Future Directions

Financial Overview

The Django Software Foundation (DSF) operates as a non-profit organization with a funding model that relies primarily on corporate memberships, individual donations, and other contributions to support its operations and community initiatives.^[10] In 2024, the DSF's approved budget was $296,583, reflecting planned expenditures for core activities including staff support and project grants.^[10] Total revenue for the year reached $289,456, comprising $195,300 from corporate sources and $94,156 from individual contributors.^[10] Expenses for 2024 totaled $277,601, with the largest portion allocated to wages at $229,893 to cover operational staffing needs, grants distributed to support Django-related projects accounting for $38,172, and professional fees (including hosting) at $9,536.^[10] The DSF holds 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status in the United States, enabling tax-deductible donations.^[10] It has received a three-out-of-four-star rating from Charity Navigator, particularly for accountability and finance metrics based on its fiscal transparency and program expense ratio.^[43]

Planned Initiatives

The Django Software Foundation (DSF) has outlined enhanced governance as a core priority for 2025, emphasizing the election of a new board of directors to strengthen oversight, sustainability, and community health while navigating legal responsibilities as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.^[44] This includes ongoing elections for the 2026 board, with candidates announced on November 5, 2025, to ensure diverse representation and effective strategic guidance.^[45] Key initiatives focus on expanding the Djangonaut Space program, with a new mentoring session launched in early 2025 to foster open-source contributions through structured, self-paced learning for participants.^[46] Additionally, the DSF provides financial and other support to community-organized Django conferences worldwide, promoting broader adoption and local engagement.^[1] Fundraising campaigns in 2025 target the hiring of an Executive Director to professionalize operations and the recruitment of additional Django Fellows to enhance core development and mentorship efforts, aiming to scale the foundation's capacity amid growing community needs.^[44] To drive community expansion, the DSF supports events worldwide through diversified board composition.^[1] In October 2025, the DSF released the results of the Django Developers Survey 2025, conducted from November 2024 to January 2025, providing insights into community trends and future development priorities.^[12]
