Django Fellow Report - Jacob - 2025

Django Internals
7

Week ending 2025-10-12 (Week 41)

Enjoyed having a chance to work closely with the participants at Django on the Med :beach_with_umbrella: this week in Palafrugell. Got a bunch of ORM questions answered in order to advance some reviews, and did an in-person review of the database-level delete behavior feature (another 6.1 headline feature on the verge of a merge)!

Otherwise a quieter week on Trac & GitHub given the travel days.
