Django team

최초의 팀

장고는 원래 미국 캔자스주 로렌스시에 위치한 로렌스 저널-월드사의 웹 부서인 월드 온라인에서 시작되었습니다.

Adrian Holovaty

아드리안은 언론학과 출신의 웹 개발자입니다. 언론계에서는 “컴퓨터 프로그래밍을 통한 저널리즘” 분야의 개척자 중 한 명으로 알려져있고, 개발자 세계에서는 “장고를 만든 사람”으로 알려져 있습니다.

He was lead developer at World Online for 2.5 years, during which time Django was developed and implemented on World Online’s sites. He was the leader and founder of EveryBlock, a “news feed for your block.” He now develops Soundslice.

아드리안은 미국 시카고시에 살고 있습니다.

Simon Willison

Simon is a well-respected Web developer from England. He had a one-year internship at World Online, during which time he and Adrian developed Django from scratch. The most enthusiastic Brit you’ll ever meet, he’s passionate about best practices in Web development and maintains a well-read web-development blog.

Jacob Kaplan-Moss
Jacob is Director of Platform Security at Heroku. He worked at World Online for four years, where he helped open source Django and found the Django Software Foundation. Jacob lives on a hobby farm outside of Lawrence where he spends his weekends playing with dirt and power tools.
Wilson Miner

Wilson’s design-fu is what makes Django look so nice. He created the design that was used for nearly the first ten years on the Django Project website, as well as the current design for Django’s acclaimed admin interface. Wilson was the designer for EveryBlock and Rdio. He now designs for Facebook.

Wilson은 현재 미국 샌프란시스코시에 살고 있습니다.

The current team

These are the folks who have a long history of contributions, a solid track record of being helpful on the mailing lists, and a proven desire to dedicate serious time to Django. In return, they’ve been invited to join the core team.

Luke Plant

At University Luke studied physics and Materials Science and also met Michael Meeks who introduced him to Linux and Open Source, re-igniting an interest in programming. Since then he has contributed to a number of Open Source projects and worked professionally as a developer.

Luke has contributed many excellent improvements to Django, including database-level improvements, the CSRF middleware and many unit tests.

Luke currently works for a church in Bradford, UK, and part-time as a freelance developer.

Russell Keith-Magee

Russell studied physics as an undergraduate, and studied neural networks for his PhD. His first job was with a startup in the defense industry developing simulation frameworks. Over time, mostly through work with Django, he’s become more involved in Web development.

러셀은 장고에서 몇 번의 주요 리팩토링과 테스트 시스템 설계 등 여러 중요 부분에 도움을 주었습니다.

러셀은 세계에서 가장 고립된 수도인 호주 퍼스시에 살고 있습니다.

James Bennett

James has been one of Django’s release managers, and also contributes to the documentation and provide the occasional bugfix.

James came to Web development from philosophy when he discovered that programmers get to argue just as much while collecting much better pay. He lives in San Mateo, California and previously worked at World Online and Mozilla; currently, he’s part of the Web engineering team at Clover.

He keeps a blog, and enjoys fine port and talking to his car.

Justin Bronn

Justin Bronn is a computer scientist and attorney specializing in legal topics related to intellectual property and spatial law.

2007년에 저스틴은 GeoDjango로도 알려져 있는 django.contrib.gis 브랜치를 개발했고, 이 브랜치는 장고 1.0에 포함되었습니다. GeoDjango를 만드는 동안 저스틴은 ORM, 어드민, 그리고 오라클 지원을 포함한 장고의 내부구조에 대해 해박한 지식을 얻었습니다.

Justin lives in Houston, TX.

Karen Tracey

Karen has a background in distributed operating systems (graduate school), communications software (industry) and crossword puzzle construction (freelance). The last of these brought her to Django, in late 2006, when she set out to put a Web front-end on her crossword puzzle database. That done, she stuck around in the community answering questions, debugging problems, etc. – because coding puzzles are as much fun as word puzzles.

카렌은 미국 노스캐롤라이나주 아펙스시에 살고 있습니다.

Jannis Leidel

재니스는 바이마르 바우하우스 대학교에서 미디어 디자인을 전공했고, 몇 개의 대체형 장고 앱들의 저자이며 virtualenv나 pip과 같은 오픈소스에 기여하는 일을 좋아합니다.

Andrew lives in San Francisco, CA, USA.

Carl Meyer

Carl has been a Django user since 2007 (long enough to remember queryset-refactor, but not magic-removal), and builds web apps at OddBird. He became a Django contributor by accident, because fixing bugs is more interesting than working around them.

칼은 미국 사우스 다코타주의 래피드 시티시에 살고 있습니다.

Ramiro Morales

라미로는 파이썬 기반 웹 도구를 찾던 중 한 오랜 고수로부터 장고를 알게 되었고, 2006년 중반부터 장고 소스코드를 보고 패치를 내기 시작했습니다.

A software developer in the electronic transactions industry, he is a living proof of the fact that anyone with enough enthusiasm can contribute to Django, learning a lot and having fun in the process.

Chris Beaven

Chris has been submitting patches and suggesting crazy ideas for Django since early 2006. An advocate for community involvement and a long-term triager, he is still often found answering questions in the #django IRC channel.

Chris lives in Napier, New Zealand (adding to the pool of Oceanic core developers). He works remotely as a developer for Lincoln Loop.

Honza Král

Honza first discovered Django in 2006 and started using it right away, first for school and personal projects and later in his full-time job. He contributed various patches and fixes mostly to the newforms library, newforms admin and, through participation in the Google Summer of Code project, assisted in creating the model validation functionality.

He is currently working for Whiskey Media in San Francisco developing awesome sites running on pure Django.

Tim Graham

When exploring Web frameworks for an independent study project in the fall of 2008, Tim discovered Django and was lured to it by the documentation. He enjoys contributing to the docs because they’re awesome.

Tim works as a software engineer and lives in Philadelphia, PA, USA.

Paul McMillan
Paul found Django in 2008 while looking for a more structured approach to web programming. He stuck around after figuring out that the developers of Django had already invented many of the wheels he needed. His passion for breaking (and then fixing) things led to his current role working to maintain and improve the security of Django.
Julien Phalip
Julien has a background in software engineering and human-computer interaction. As a Web developer, he enjoys tinkering with the backend as much as designing and coding user interfaces. Julien discovered Django in 2007 while doing his PhD in Computing Sciences. Since then he has contributed patches to various components of the framework, in particular the admin. Julien was a co-founder of the Interaction Consortium. He now works at Odopod, a digital agency based in San Francisco, CA, USA.
Aymeric Augustin

Aymeric is an engineer with a background in mathematics and computer science. He chose Django because he believes that software should be simple, explicit and tested. His perfectionist tendencies quickly led him to triage tickets and contribute patches.

Aymeric has a pragmatic approach to software engineering, can’t live without a continuous integration server, and likes proving that Django is a good choice for enterprise software.

Claude Paroz

Claude is a former teacher who fell in love with free software at the beginning of the 21st century. He’s now working as freelancer in Web development in his native Switzerland. He has found in Django a perfect match for his needs of a stable, clean, documented and well-maintained Web framework.

He’s also helping the GNOME Translation Project as maintainer of the Django-based l10n.gnome.org.

Anssi Kääriäinen

Anssi works as a developer at Finnish National Institute for Health and Welfare. He is also a computer science student at Aalto University. In his work he uses Django for developing internal business applications and sees Django as a great match for that use case.

Anssi is interested in developing the object relational mapper (ORM) and all related features. He’s also a fan of benchmarking and he tries keep Django as fast as possible.

Florian Apolloner

Florian is currently studying Physics at the Graz University of Technology. Soon after he started using Django he joined the Ubuntuusers webteam to work on Inyoka, the software powering the whole Ubuntuusers site.

For the time being he lives in Graz, Austria (not Australia ;)).

Jeremy Dunck

Jeremy was rescued from corporate IT drudgery by Free Software and, in part, Django. Many of Jeremy’s interests center around access to information.

Jeremy was the lead developer of Pegasus News, one of the first uses of Django outside World Online, and has since joined Votizen, a startup intent on reducing the influence of money in politics.

He serves as DSF Secretary, organizes and helps organize sprints, cares about the health and equity of the Django community. He has gone an embarrassingly long time without a working blog.

Jeremy lives in Mountain View, CA, USA.

Bryan Veloso

Bryan found Django 0.96 through a fellow designer who was evangelizing its use. It was his first foray outside of the land that was PHP-based templating. Although he has only ever used Django for personal projects, it is the very reason he considers himself a designer/developer hybrid and is working to further design within the Django community.

Bryan works as a designer at GitHub by day, and masquerades as a vlogger and shoutcaster in the after-hours. Bryan lives in Los Angeles, CA, USA.

Simon Charette

Simon is a mathematics student who discovered Django while searching for a replacement framework to an in-house PHP entity. Since that faithful day Django has been a big part of his life. So far, he’s been involved in some ORM and forms API fixes.

Apart from contributing to multiple open source projects he spends most of his spare-time playing Ultimate Frisbee and working part-time at this awesome place called Reptiletech.

Simon lives in Montréal, Québec, Canada.

Donald Stufft

Donald found Python and Django in 2007 while trying to find a language, and web framework that he really enjoyed using after many years of PHP. He fell in love with the beauty of Python and the way Django made tasks simple and easy. His contributions to Django focus primarily on ensuring that it is and remains a secure web framework.

Donald currently works at Nebula Inc as a Software Engineer for their security team and lives in the Greater Philadelphia Area.

Marc Tamlyn

Marc started life on the web using Django 1.2 back in 2010, and has never looked back. He was involved with rewriting the class-based view documentation at DjangoCon EU 2012, and also helped to develop CCBV, an additional class-based view reference tool.

Marc is currently a full-time parent, part-time developer, and lives in Oxford, UK.

Shai Berger

Shai started working with Python back in 1998, and with Django just before 1.0. He is a Free Software enthusiast, but life happens, and he was driven by consulting gigs to contribute to the Oracle and SQL Server backends of South, and then the Oracle backend of Django itself. Finally, he joined core to help maintain the Oracle backend.

Shai works for Platonix, a small consulting company he started with a few friends in 1996, and lives near Tel Aviv, Israel.

Baptiste Mispelon

Baptiste discovered Django around the 1.2 version and promptly switched away from his homegrown PHP framework. He started getting more involved in the project after attending DjangoCon EU 2012, mostly by triaging tickets and submitting small patches.

Baptiste currently lives in Budapest, Hungary and works for M2BPO, a small French company providing services to architects.

Daniele Procida

Daniele unexpectedly became a Django developer on 29th April 2009. Since then he has relied daily on Django’s documentation, which has been a constant companion to him. More recently he has been able to contribute back to the project by helping improve the documentation itself.

He is the author of Arkestra and Don’t be afraid to commit. He lives in Cardiff, Wales, and works for Divio.

Erik Romijn

Erik started using Django in the days of 1.2. His largest contribution to Django was GenericIPAddressField, and he has worked on all sorts of patches since. While developing with Django, he always keeps a little list of even the slightest Django frustrations, to tackle them at a later time and prevent other developers from having to deal with the same issues.

Erik is an independent app maker, mostly developing web and mobile apps, as Solid Links. He also enjoys helping ordinary developers to build safer web apps, for which Django is already a great start, and developed Erik’s Pony Checkup with that goal in mind. Erik lives in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Loïc Bistuer

Loïc studied telecommunications engineering and works as an independent software developer and consultant.

He discovered Django in 2008 shortly before the 1.0 release and has been hooked ever since. He contributes mostly to Django’s ORM and Form components. His main contributions include advanced query prefetching, streamlining QuerySet and Manager to improve query reusability, and a significant refactor of forms error handling.

Loïc is originally from the South of France and currently lives in Bangkok, Thailand.

Michael Manfre

Michael started running Django on Windows against a Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) database in 2008. He quickly became the maintainer of the django-mssql 3rd party database backend. Much of his involvement with Django relates to the ORM, the private 3rd party database API, and using Django on Windows.

Michael lives in Cary, NC, USA.

Collin Anderson

Collin found Django in November 2006. He was in awe of the admin and ORM and was amazed that the documentation was teaching him best web practices like redirecting after a successful POST request. Why had he never learned this before? No one knows to this day.

He enjoys helping people on the django-users mailing list and making Django simple and easy for newcomers.

Collin lives in South Bend, IN, USA where he uses Django to increase unity.

Markus Holtermann

Markus is a senior backend developer at LaterPay in Munich. He studied Computer Science at the Technical University of Berlin. He started working with Django in 2010 when he joined the ubuntuusers.de web team to work on Inyoka. Markus made his first contribution to the Django project during DjangoCon Europe 2013 in Warsaw. He was the web team leader for the EuroPython 2014 website and started regular contributions to Django after that.

Markus lives in Berlin, Germany.

Josh Smeaton

Josh was given the opportunity to work on a new Django app around version 1.1 after working with a homegrown PHP reporting framework. The simplicity of the ORM and the power of the Admin were extremely liberating.

Still being involved with custom reporting applications, he decided to try his hand at improving the ORM support for analytics. His contributions focus on giving more power to users of the ORM.

Josh lives in Melbourne, Australia where he heads up development for a SaaS telecommunications company.

Preston Timmons

He was an International Man of Mystery and lived in Sydney, Australia.

Malcolm passed away on March 17, 2013.

Preston Holmes

Preston is a recovering neuroscientist who originally discovered Django as part of a sweeping move to Python from a grab bag of half a dozen languages. He was drawn to Django’s balance of practical batteries included philosophy, care and thought in code design, and strong open source community. Currently working in the rent-your-infra space (aka Cloud), he is always looking for opportunities to volunteer for community oriented education projects, such as for kids and scientists (e.g. Software Carpentry).

Preston lives with his family and animal menagerie in Santa Barbara, CA, USA.
