The Django Security Team now has a written charter to scale operations, while the DSF opens a new Sponsored Fellow corporate membership level as part of a broader fundraising refresh.

The security team charter [1] passed review and merged [2], establishing formal operating procedures that the steering council sees as essential infrastructure for the fellowship program to grow. Simultaneously, djangoproject.com rolled out a new top corporate membership tier, Sponsored Fellow, set at $200,000 [3], alongside a refreshed fundraising page [4] that reorders donation options by impact and modernizes the case for giving. The changes span the membership model itself [3], the web forms that collect signups, and the pages that pitch corporate support. These aren't cosmetic tweaks: the DSF is restructuring how it funds operations and manages its security function at the same time. The steering council documented its August 3rd meeting decisions [5], setting context for why these governance and revenue moves matter. Performance benchmarking continues in the background [6], but the signal in this window is institutional, not technical.
