On the week starting May 29th, we had 11 pull requests merged into Django by 10 different contributors - including 5 first time contributors! Congratulations to Kacper Wolkiewicz, Christopher Cave-Ayland, AP Jama, Cheuk Ting Ho and Nina Menezes for having their first commits merged into Django - welcome on board!
Included in this week were some accessibility improvements to the Django admin including enabling user zooming on mobile and adding icon descriptions in "Recent Actions" into 5.0. Big thank you to our accessibility team for helping our new contributors at the sprints!
Are you also interested to learn about accessibility and contributing to Django? Why don't you add labels to the FilteredSelectMultiple widget #34625? Look forward to welcoming you on board!
