I was at DjangoCon US in San Diego. 

(Thank you if you organised that! Hi! if we met and chatted.)

I gave a talk ("Your web framework needs you!") inspired by the discussion on the 

DSF list[1] and the proposal to dissolve Django Core[2].

I was asking for more participation in general, and participation that is more 

representative of the wider Django community in particular. 

There was lots of good input. 

I'll send a separate email about this tomorrow. 

Kind Regards,
