I’ve published a retrospective on Django On The Med 🏖️
It’s a follow-up written a few months later, reflecting on what worked, what didn’t, and the value that emerged beyond GitHub activity, when the focus was on people and being together.

Django On The Med: A Contributor Sprint Retrospective
A personal retrospective on Django On The Med, three months later. From the first idea to the actual contributor sprint, and how a simple format based on focused mornings and open afternoons created unexpected value for people and the Django open source community.
