Wow, release notes look great. I'm so impressed with the whole Django ecosystem - I'm yet to find a problem without a good answer on SO, there's a package for most of the repetitive stuff when building a web app. I tried to follow the development process on GitHub for some time and while it was a valuable experience [1], it can be like a side project on its own, just to keep up with all the issues and bigger commits.

Anyway, I'm incredibly thankful for all the contributors. Learning and using Django let me meet great people, experience new things and had quite an impact on my life. Yay Open Source! ;).

[1] In general, I think that watching big project on GitHub for just a few weeks can be better lesson than reading a book on the topic (it depends, of course, but it's a great learning experience nonetheless)
