Django Fellow Report - Jacob - 2026

Django Internals
32

Week ending 2026-07-26 (Week 30)

Like last week, I focused almost all of my attention on improving our patches for the same two pending security reports. One reporter thanked us for our professional handling and brought a smile to my face when adding, “as I am sure you are getting completely slop cannoned all the way down.” :splatter:

More steady progress reviewing the GSoC work on expressions in SQL FROM clauses, too.
