Calendar Week 39 -- ending 29 September.

I was at DjangoCon US this week. 

Talks: 

- Your web framework needs you: an update. (Getting contributors.)

- Using Django as a micro-framework. (A trip through the middleware and BaseHandler.)

These'll be on YouTube at some point. 

Sprints: 

Gave a "Getting started contributing to Django" workshop at the sprints. 

This went really well: we had four or five tables of people getting going with

the test suite and Trac. A number of PRs were opened. 

Big thanks to Mariusz for picking these up and reviewing/merging _overnight_

for us — that was rewarding for folks. 

I started notes here. I'll work on that for DjangoCon Europe, and hopefully it

can turn into a community resource that we can run each time. 

Triaged:

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/27086 -- running servers.tests may hang in parallel mode on Mac OS X (Accepted)

Reviewed:

https://github.com/django/django/pull/11835 -- Fixes #30806 by configuring OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY in tox.
