The 1st ever #DjangoCon #Africa held in #Tanzania 🇹🇿 last month faced funding issues and subsequently organizing and logistical problems because the #PythonSoftwareFoundation delayed in deciding to approve the organizers’ grant request.

The Grants Working Group could not decide so it was escalated to the PSF Board, who also couldn’t approve in September due to safety concerns (LGBT+ is criminalized in Tanzania).
