           15 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="reference external" href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/releases/4.0/"&gt;The release notes&lt;/a&gt; cover the abundance of new features in detail, but a few highlights are:&lt;/p&gt;
           16 &lt;ul class="simple"&gt;
           17 &lt;li&gt;The new &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/releases/4.0/#redis-cache-backend"&gt;RedisCache backend&lt;/a&gt; provides built-in support for caching with Redis.&lt;/li&gt;

           19 &lt;li&gt;The Python standard library’s &lt;tt class="docutils literal"&gt;zoneinfo&lt;/tt&gt; is now the &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/releases/4.0/#zoneinfo-default-timezone-implementation"&gt;default timezone implementation in Django&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
           20 &lt;/ul&gt;
           21 &lt;p&gt;You can get Django 4.0 from &lt;a class="reference external" href="/download/"&gt;our downloads page&lt;/a&gt; or from &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Django/4.0"&gt;the

           24 &lt;p&gt;With the release of Django 4.0, Django 3.2 has reached the end of mainstream
           25 support. The final minor bug fix release, &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/releases/3.2.10/"&gt;3.2.10&lt;/a&gt;, was issued today.
           26 Django 3.2 is an LTS release and will receive security and data loss fixes until April 2024. All
           27 users are encouraged to upgrade before then to continue receiving fixes for
           28 security issues.&lt;/p&gt;
           29 &lt;p&gt;Django 3.1 has reached the end of extended support. The final security release
           30 (&lt;a class="reference external" href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/releases/3.1.14/"&gt;3.1.14&lt;/a&gt;) was issued today. All Django 3.1 users are encouraged to &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/upgrade-version/"&gt;upgrade&lt;/a&gt; to Django 3.2 or later.&lt;/p&gt;

           92 
           93 &lt;p&gt;As you know, the Board guides the direction of the marketing, governance, and outreach activities of the Django community. We provide funding, resources, and guidance to Django events on a global level. Further we provide support to the Django community with an established Code of Conduct and make decisions and enforcement recommendations for violations. We work closely with our corporate and individual members to raise funds to help support our great community.&lt;/p&gt;
           94 
           95 &lt;p&gt;In order for our community to continue to grow and advance the Django Web framework, we need your help. The Board of Directors consists of volunteers who are elected to one-year terms. This is an excellent opportunity to help advance Django. We can’t do it without volunteers, such as yourself. For the most part, the time commitment is a few hours per month. Anyone including current Board members, DSF Members, or the public at large can apply to the Board. It is open to all who wish to participate.&lt;/p&gt;
           96 
           97 &lt;p&gt;If you are interested in helping to support the development of Django we’d enjoy receiving your application for the Board of Directors. Please fill out the application form by November 30th, 2021 AoE to be considered. Once we have our candidates we will open a week-long voting period.&lt;/p&gt;
           98 
           99 &lt;p&gt;If you have any questions about applying, the work, or the process in general please don’t hesitate to reach out via email to foundation@djangoproject.com and one of us will get back to you shortly.&lt;/p&gt;
          100 
          101 &lt;p&gt;Thank you for your time and we look forward to working with you in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;

          106 
          107 &lt;p&gt;It is that time of year again when we recognize someone from our community in memory of our friend Malcolm.&lt;/p&gt;
          108 
          109 &lt;p&gt;Malcolm was an early core contributor to Django and had both a huge influence and impact on Django as we know it today. Besides being knowledgeable he was also especially friendly to new users and contributors. He exemplified what it means to be an amazing Open Source contributor. We still miss him to this day.&lt;/p&gt;
          110 
          111 &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.djangoproject.com/foundation/prizes/"&gt;DSF Prize&lt;/a&gt; page summarizes the prize nicely:&lt;/p&gt;
          112 
          113 &lt;p&gt;The Malcolm Tredinnick Memorial Prize is a monetary prize, awarded annually, to the person who best exemplifies the spirit of Malcolm’s work - someone who welcomes, supports and nurtures newcomers; freely gives feedback and assistance to others, and helps to grow the community. The hope is that the recipient of the award will use the award stipend as a contribution to travel to a community event -- a DjangoCon, a PyCon, a sprint -- and continue in Malcolm’s footsteps.&lt;/p&gt;
          114 
          115 &lt;p&gt;We will take nominations until Thursday, November 26th, 2021 AoE and will announce the winner soon after the next DSF Board meeting in December.&lt;/p&gt;
          116 
          117 &lt;p&gt;Please make your nominations using this &lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ohM5w-FpjhVJKUiu_x_lwRGrtJljbbe9GOw_vf3Tv-Y"&gt;google form&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

          126 &lt;p&gt;Only bugs in new features and regressions from earlier versions of Django will be
          127 fixed between now and 4.0 final (also, translations will be updated following the
          128 &amp;quot;string freeze&amp;quot; when the release candidate is issued). The &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Version4.0Roadmap#schedule"&gt;current
          129 release schedule&lt;/a&gt; calls for a release candidate in a month from now with the
          130 final release to follow about two weeks after that around December 6. Early and often
          131 testing from the community will help minimize the number of bugs in the release.
          132 Updates on the release schedule schedule are available &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://groups.google.com/g/django-developers/c/zoFt_7Lu2Lc"&gt;on the django-developers mailing list&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
          133 &lt;p&gt;As with all alpha and beta packages, this is &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; for production use. But
          134 if you'd like to take some of the new features for a spin, or to help find and
          135 fix bugs (which should be reported to &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://code.djangoproject.com/newticket"&gt;the issue tracker&lt;/a&gt;), you can grab a
          136 copy of the beta package from &lt;a class="reference external" href="/download/"&gt;our downloads page&lt;/a&gt; or on PyPI.&lt;/p&gt;

It represents the first stage in the 4.0
          142 release cycle and is an opportunity for you to try out the changes coming in
          143 Django 4.0.&lt;/p&gt;
          144 &lt;p&gt;Django 4.0 has an abundance of new features which you can read about in &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/4.0/"&gt;the
          145 in-development 4.0 release notes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
          146 &lt;p&gt;This alpha milestone marks the feature freeze. The &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Version4.0Roadmap#schedule"&gt;current
          147 release schedule&lt;/a&gt; calls for a beta release in about a month and a release
          148 candidate about a month from then. We'll only be able to keep this schedule
          149 if we get early and often testing from the community. Updates on the release
