A new Django blog post/announcement has been posted!

On July 13th 2005, Jacob Kaplan-Moss made the first commit to the public repository that would become Django. Twenty years and 400+ releases later, here we are – Happy 20th birthday Django! 🎉

Support Django

As a birthday gift of sorts, consider whether you or your employer can support the project via donations to our non-profit Django Software Foundation. For this special event, we want to set a special goal!

Over the next 20 days, we want to see 200 new donors, supporting Django with $20 or more, with at least 20 monthly donors. Help us making this happen:

Donate on the Django website

Donate on GitHub sponsors

Once you’ve done it, post with #DjangoBirthday and tag us on Mastodon / on Bluesky / on X / on LinkedIn so we can say thank you!
