Django News - DjangoCon Europe Next Week! - Apr 10th 2026
Introduction
Hi everyone, sorry for the late send of Issue #331.
Last week, our provider, Curated, which is owned by Buttondown, went down and wasn't able to send our newsletter for six days. You might have received it yesterday, but not everyone did. It's the first time in several years we haven't been able to land in your inbox.
We've been in touch with their support all week and appreciate your patience while this gets sorted out.
In the meantime, Will and I are looking at other provider options. If this shows up next week looking a little different, that's probably why.
If you missed it, please check out last week's Issue 331: https://django-news.com/issues/331#start

Django Fellow Reports
Fellow Report - Jacob
In addition to advancing work on pending security issues, reviewed some improvements around accessibility and performance. 3 tickets triaged, 16 reviewed, 12 authored, and more.
Fellow Report - Natalia
I was traveling this week so I was less available than usual. My main priority was to support Jacob with anything needed for the upcoming security release, helping keep things on track during a critical phase. I also made an effort to stay on top of inbox and notifications, though seeing my current unread count I can confirm I have failed miserably.
