My PR to add a searchbar in the djangoproject.com navbar got merged 🎊🔍
Thank you to the djangoproject.com working group for the wonderful reviews 💚

@npub1mjx…httg hello hello 😁
As Django 6.0 will be out in a couple of weeks, I was wondering if you would be doing any "What's new in Django 6.0" content
I know I got more engagement because a .0 looks like a major release, so folks unaware of Django's release system are more interested
If you mention any community updates, I think the new 6.X steering council and Jacob as a new Fellow is worth mentioning
I'm happy to give tips, ideas or feedback as I think promoting a release is really valuable 💚

'About' in the djangoproject.com header will take you to pages on the Django Software Foundation. I feel this can be confused as being more about the web framework. Should we...

Also BIG thank you @npub19dn…kq9z for his excellent work maintaining djangoproject.com and for reviewing my PRs/ideas 💚🌟

Have you ever been (like me) interested in the DSF meeting minutes but forget where they are?
Good news!
I've added the latest DSF meeting minutes as a teaser in the sidebar of the Django website "foundation"/"about" pages: https://www.djangoproject.com/foundation/
And if you're a fan of RSS feeds, there's a new "Django Software Foundation" RSS feed, which has the latest news and meeting minutes published by the DSF: https://www.djangoproject.com/community/dsf/

I think it's safe to say the amount of attention needed in response to an attention request is at least as much as what the author provided in the request (we need to consider it, play with it, come to the same conclusion)
The current balance between attention requesting and attention giving is too heavy towards attention requests. I think restricting how much we will give attention to is great (with a roadmap or something)

I really love this discussion and the ideas in here ❤️
The way I see it is that almost everything is either asking for attention or giving attention. The attention that exists to give is much smaller than the attention that is being asked.
Creating a forum post, a ticket, a PR, an update on a PR - these are all requests for attention
Giving attention includes responding to posts, triaging tickets, reviewing PRs

We need a DEP to refresh the Steering Council definition.
We should review and possibly update:
- eligibility
- the election process
- expectations (perhaps reporting)
Bits like what happens if less than 5 people run? Is 5 a good number? Should members have "roles"? Chair? How do we make this a team rather than a set of individuals who may not work well together?
I hope the SC experiments in the first 8 months and decides what works. Then, they make a proposal and vote through some changes.

Applications are open for the Django 6.X Steering Council: https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2024/nov/27/django-6x-steering-council-candidate-registration/
I'm going to thread a bunch of thoughts of what I would like to see from the next SC. Feel free to add your own 👍

I love it!!!
I think this means you can also make playlists 😍 like a DSF board playlist with past/current board members

The steering council is a group of 5 experienced contributors who:
- provide oversight of Django’s development and release process,
- assist in setting the direction of feature development and releases,
- select Mergers and Releasers, and
have a tie-breaking vote when other - decision-making processes fail.
Their main concern is to maintain the quality and stability of the Django Web Framework.

Expression of interest for the 6.X Steering Council: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc4kDHSRr-ayuXensVogJLwx14jeRClAmHXfFhmw04vAUYnPQ/viewform
Anyone can use this form to either:
- Give the DSF your email so they reach out to you once the elections are happening.
- Share your details so the DSF can check your eligibility as a candidate and let you know, ahead of the actual elections
- Do an early registration as a candidate (the DSF will reach out to confirm closer to the elections)

I gave it a go: https://gist.github.com/sarahboyce/68ffaaeae24d2501cf27a914f77fb97c
I'm very interested in what other folks want to see 💚

I know @npub1nsp…ahke publishes a "DjangoCon talks I'd like to see" blog article to encourage and inspire folks to submit talks
I'm wondering if "DSF initiatives I'd like to see" could have a similar effect for DSF board election candidates 🤔
