We recently reported that the django CMS project is on a growth trajectory. With the formation of the django CMS Association, the foundation was laid for the transition to a community-driven open source project. We have successfully revitalized the django CMS community and substantially increased the number of contributions.

Now that we have reached a critical mass of members, we have entered a new phase: the expansion of roles and responsibilities. It is not surprising that with a growing project comes more tasks. For this reason, we have defined a list of items that we believe are important for a successful community-driven open source project.We are now asking anyone interested to look at the different roles and decide if he or she would like to play a decisive part in the success of django CMS. Here you can find all positions in the django CMS Association.
