September highlights! The month began with me traveling to Chicago (such a beautiful city)for DjangoCon US where I had the honor of co-chairing volunteers for the second time. There's something special about being surrounded by a community that shares your passion, and every year, this experience reminds me why I fell in love with Django in the first place. But this year brought an even more exciting surprise – I received the incredible news that I've been nominated as a Django Software Foundation member! I'm still processing this honor and can't wait to serve the community that has shaped so much of my journey. Shortly after returning home, on September 24th, I found myself at United States International University - Africa presenting research I'm truly proud of: "The Evolving Digital Landscape in Kenya: AI, Governance, and Social Media Transformation." This work, published in the Journal of Digital Society in collaboration with ISSM, wouldn't have been possible without the guidance of my lecturer, Dr. Joshua. Meeting Martin Emmer from the Journal of Digital Society and discussing the future of digital transformation in Kenya was an experience I'll cherish. Just two days later, on September 26-27, we gathered for our 4th Pycon Kenya, and what a success it was! Seeing the Python community come together – the sponsors who believed in our vision, the speakers who shared their knowledge, and every attendee who brought their energy – filled me with pride. DEFNA generously provided Django stickers, and I was able to share some swag from my Montreal trip- United States PostgreSQL Association, which added an extra spark to the event. Every conversation, every collaboration, every moment of learning has reinforced my commitment to building stronger tech communities. I'm excited about what lies ahead and the partnerships we'll forge together. Here's to continued growth and collaboration! #community #PyconKe2025 #chicago #DjangoconUs2025

As ever, Wagtail Space has proven what makes this open-source community so special – generous, curious people pushing the CMS to do better for everyone who uses it. From accessibility breakthroughs to AI experiments, day one showed Wagtail’s versatility in action – powering everything from museum collections to Pilates platforms. Real-world, editor-friendly, and crafted with care. For those managing complex platforms or supporting busy content teams, these talks offered plenty of reassurance: 📈 Wagtail’s growth is strong – 30% year-on-year increase in downloads and an estimated 15–20k sites in the wild 🧠 AI is being integrated responsibly, with accessibility and human context at its heart 🪐 The CMS remains expansive, handling sites with vast amounts of video or other large formats 🫆 Thoughtful content models and language still make or break a CMS experience It’s been inspiring to see how different orgs are using Wagtail to solve real challenges – simplifying workflows, improving accessibility, and connecting people with information that matters. A huge thank you to the brilliant minds steering the ship (or rocket 🚀) this year. To name just a few:  Meagen Voss Thibaud Colas  Vince Salvino Tom Dyson Michael Trythall Mariana Bedran Lesche  🦄 Sébastien Corbin  Trish Thomas Jonathan Chittenden Matthew Westcott @Sage A. Tom Usher …and so many more 🙏 It’s been a delight to sponsor and be part of the journey.
