Keynote - The Fellowship of the Pony with Natalia Bidart
summary
Django Fellowship runs as paid, donation-funded contractors (currently 1.5 Fellows) who handle security reports and release blockers, triage thousands of tickets, review and merge PRs, perform monthly and feature releases, and publish weekly public time-and-work reports. The job repeatedly requires cross-stack fixes (Python, SQL, JavaScript, CSS), suffers from little automation and onboarding friction, and forces constant prioritization decisions; concrete asks include more triagers, reviewers, automation work, and donations.
