A short while ago, we
announced the creation of the Django Software Foundation, a non-profit
organization that exists (among other reasons)
to sponsor Django coding
sprints and other events for our community.

Now, we're kick-starting the foundation by holding a fundraising drive.

With Django
1.0 around the corner, our immediate goal is to raise enough money to
support the upcoming
pre-1.0 coding sprints, which bring developers together in the real world
for highly productive design and programming sessions. After the 1.0 release,
we're planning to fund regularly scheduled sprints, user meet-ups and other
community events.

It sounds a bit cheesy, but: with your help, we can make these
things happen.

If you enjoy using Django and believe in our mission and goals, please
consider making a donation:
