## AI overview

The Django Software Foundation invites the Django community to join open office hours every Wednesday. The article highlights the Executive Director search, fundraising needs for the role, community participation, working groups, and ways for companies using Django to provide support.

## Source excerpt

The DSF Board hosts open office hours every Wednesday at 6:00 PM UTC (check your local time). Anyone in the Django community is welcome to drop in. You do not need an agenda or an invitation. Video call details are on the DSF Office Hours page. We have been running these since October 2024, and right now we have two things we would especially like to talk with you about. Who shows up On any given Wednesday, you might find DSF Board members, Steering Council members, Django Fellows, working group members, and community members who are curious about joining a working group. There is no membership requirement. Anybody from the community can join, and often does. The Executive Director search We recently published a call for applicants for a Django Executive Director. If you are considering applying, or you are still deciding whether it is the right fit, come to office hours and ask us anything: what the job actually looks like, what we expect in the first year, how the search works. We would rather answer your questions directly than have you guess from a job posting. If this is the first you are hearing about the search, please help us spread the word. The best candidate may be someone who has not thought to look. Fundraising to support it Hiring an Executive Director is why we raised our 2026 fundraising goal from $300,000 to $500,000, which needs about $16,000 per month in additional recurring support. We have made real progress and are working to close the rest. If your company uses Django, you can help through corporate sponsorship, a direct donation, or GitHub Sponsors. Most of these are a small lift for a company that already depends on Django. If you want fundraising materials to bring to your leadership team, or help picking the option that fits, come to office hours, and we will get you what you need. Everything else Office hours cover plenty beyond that: what our working groups are up to and how to join one, projects the Foundation is working on, and whateve
