I'm so glad this presentation is getting attention. The presentation really nails it, and I can only imagine the well-deserved awkward moments it caused a few people.
All the issues are big, but those that touch on the nature of the closed nature of the Django community are, I feel the most important criticisms. A project like Django cannot scale effectively (in terms of pace of innovation, willingness of people to contribute, mindshare, etc) unless they address the community issues they have.
- duke_sam 16y agoIf the Django community is so closed why are over a third of the attendees new to Django? If the community was closed and insular we wouldn't be seeing so many people who are at their first DjangoCon and who are eager to contribute to Django. The current setup is not perfect. The core team, especially Russel, have been very forthcoming about this. They are openly talking about things that need to change and how to change them.
