DjangoCon Europe 2018 - thank you

On behalf of the everyone who benefits from the Django Project, the DSF would like to thank the organisers of DjangoCon Europe 2018 for the oustanding efforts they made to ensure that the event was a success for the whole community.

The organising team, and above all Raphael Michel and Tobias Kunze, who led the event every step of the way from the moment it was first proposed a year ago, gave us a DjangoCon that could not have been bettered.

It's important to remember that all the organisers were unpaid volunteers, who gave their time and energy freely and with generosity. During the event they were assisted by other volunteers, who performed a valuable role taking care of conference necessities such as networking and video recording.

As we have now come to expect from a DjangoCon Europe, the venue was an ideal setting (the beautiful Stadthalle on the Neckar), the catering and hospitality were of a very high standard and the conference programme met every requirement for a keystone event.

We're especially grateful for the unstinting and thoughtful care that was put into all the small details of the conference, and which helped guarantee it was going to be a DjangoCon that everyone could remember for the right reasons.

We are proud to have our community represented by events of this kind.
