New Technical Governance Approved
The Django weblog ·
Both the Steering Council and DSF Board have approved DEP 19, which implements our new technical governance. Thank you to everyone who read the document and participated in the process! This was the effort of two different DSF boards and dozens of community members. These changes were a revisitation of Django’s technical governance in which a simplification and reduction was made to make it more approachable to more people. The most exciting change (in my opinion), is the new Steering Council Eligibility criteria . We defined a set of wide range qualities that members of the Steering Council could possess that would be advantageous. The hope is that this helps community members realize they are qualified to be a Steering Council member and stand for election. The next steps are to update the documentation in the Django and djangoproject.com repositories with any necessary updates. After that the DEP will move to the final state and folder .
