Fellowship program
The django CMS Fellowship Program brings paid contributors on board to support the development and maintenance of django CMS, from managing releases and reviewing pull requests to supporting the community. Funded by membership fees and donations, the program ensures django CMS keeps moving forward, reliably and sustainably. Fellows gain community recognition, hands-on experience, and visibility across a broad network of agencies and enterprises.
The django CMS Fellowship program is a project where paid contractors take on some of the administrative and community management tasks of the django CMS project to support the rapid development of django CMS itself.
The continued development of django CMS is central to the vision of the django CMS Association. The Fellowship Program builds the foundation for this. It is funded by donations and membership fees from the django CMS Association.
The fellow participates in the project for a few months and earns community recognition for their efforts.
