2022 - the django CMS Association open its doors. New dCA volunteer positions available!
Anyone, including members of the django CMS Association, or the public can apply for the positions. They are open to anyone who would like to participate.
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.
