FlipperPA writes: DjangoCon US 2025 is coming to the voco Chicago Downtown, September 8-12th, and the Call for Proposals is officially open. The five-day conference, the cornerstone event for the Python web framework community, brings together developers, maintainers, and enthusiasts from around the world. Originally built to support a Lawrence, Kansas newsroom, Django has since grown into one of the most widely used web frameworks, powering platforms like The Guardian, Coursea, Instagram, Disqus, and National Geographic. With its "batteries included" philosophy, Django remains a top choice for Python developers. If you’ve got insights to share, now’s the time to submit your proposal.

Grench writes: Search giant Google is providing funding to the Raspberry Pi Foundation to give 15,000 new Raspberry Pi Model B computers to schools all around the United Kingdom.

Google Giving's partnership with the Raspberry Pi Foundation is a significant investment in UK IT education; it is hoped this will help turn around the decline in UK school-leavers going on to study IT in colleges or universities.

15,000x Model B units at $35 each = $525,000

The Foundation's website also has an article on this news here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/3158
