Announcing weekly DSF office hours
For the last year, Thibaud Colas and I have had a weekly DSF co-working session — we get on a video call and spend an hour quietly working together on DSF things. It’s worked well to help us carve out time to work on DSF initiatives, so we’d like to expand into an open-to-everyone weekly “office hours” format.
These will be Wednesdays at 6PM UTC (convert to other time zones). (Yes, that means the first one will be in just about 4 hours, short notice I know, so maybe mark it down for next week.)
All you need to do is bring something DSF-related to work on. This is intentionally broad, as long as it’s vaguly DSF-related you’re welcome to come. It’s not a general-purpose Django coding session (you’re welcome to be writing code but it should be related the DSF, e.g. working on djangoproject.com or something.)
This week and next, we’ll probably be focusing on nominations for the DSF Board — nominations close October 25th.
For now, we’re deliberately not publishing the video call information publicly — we’re a bit worried about spammers and scammers. So if you want to join, you’ll need to contact the board, or someone on the board, to get the info. You can use the DSF contact form, and anyone’s welcome to contact me directly: — email jacob@djangoproject.com, Signal jacobian.01, or @jacob@jacobian.org on Mastodon.
(Yes, this introduces some friction which is at odds with the “everyone’s welcome” ethos. If/when we figure out a better way to moderate these calls, we’ll change this.)
I look forward to seeing you there!
(Thanks to Jeff Triplett — he’s been holding similar office hours for some time and we were inspired by watching that work out so well.)
