Fellow Report - January 9, 2015
Tim Graham
This is my second to last report before the fellowship pilot ends. If you’d like to see the program happen again, please encourage your company or organization to donate to the DSF.
Highlights of this week included reviewing many of the remaining large features for 1.8: Daniel’s _meta refactor work, Aymeric’s multiple template engines docs, Marc’s work on Range fields for contrib.postgres, and a large ORM patch from Anssi to leverage the new expressions functionality internally. I am pleased that we've finished all the major features we targeted during the 1.8 release planning [1] and that we're on schedule for an alpha release next week. Thank-you to everyone from the community for making it happen.
