New Django Team Members for January 2015

The Django team is thrilled to announce the addition of two new members.

For those who don't know them, Ola Sendecka and Ola Sitarska have been a fixture of our community for several years now.

They have organized numerous Django events in Europe (some of you still probably remember the famous Django Circus). Last year, they also started the Django Girls community which has grown immensely (so far, there have been 18 workshops in 4 continents and more are to come). More recently, they've also been instrumental in shipping the new redesign of the Django website as well as our latest fundraising campaign.

Ola Sendecka will soon be living in London, UK and works remotely for Legalsense. She's also co-organized numerous Django sprints in Krakow, Poland.

Ola Sitarska also lives in London where she makes awesome things happen at Potato. Amongst many other events, she's on the organizing committee of the upcoming DjangoCon Europe where she's focusing her efforts on diversity and outreach.

We couldn't be more grateful for their contributions and we look forward to have them share their enthusiasm and talent with the rest of the team.
