Bonus: Django itself
This one isn’t really a “deal”, but I would like to take a moment to encourage you to contribute to Django itself. If you buy any of the above products, please consider supporting the Django Software Foundation, the charity that runs Django, in its work promoting the community and the framework.
Your money will go towards:
- Paying the Django Fellows, Natalia and Sarah, who merge respond to tickets, merge code, and make releases.
- Helping organize DjangoCons in Africa, America, and Europe, and other events.
- Hosting costs of the documentation, source code, ticketing system, and CI system.
- A very long tail of activities that keep the framework alive and thriving.
Donate to Django on:
- GitHub Sponsors - adds to your GitHub bill.
- Threadless - grab some custom-printed merchandise.
- The Fundraising Page - bills from a credit card with Stripe.
At the time of writing, Django is only 82% towards its annual funding goal of $200,000:
Let’s fill up that heart! 💚💚💚
