Wagtail Space 2024 days 2 and 3

Wagtail Space has come to an end! We look back on three great days.

Second sprint day

Our office is quietly humming with people who are working, talking and having a good time.

Group Photo

Of course no sprint is complete without a group photo. Here it is:

Demos

Before closing the second sprint day, people demonstrated what they have worked on.

Most people got a lot of work done! Also, there were honorable mentions for first-time committers.

Why do we host Wagtail Space?

There are a number of reasons why we host this event.

  • We use Wagtail a lot.
  • We love code.
  • We just like to organize stuff.
  • We like to bring people together.
  • We want to give back to the community.
  • It's a good excuse for having a party.
  • We like to meet new people.
  • We have a nice office, we like to share it.
  • We like to promote The Netherlands in general and Arnhem in particular.
  • We like to get to know people that we would otherwise only speak remotely.

Day 3 - The conference

The conference was held in the "Posttheater" - a theatre with excellent audiovisual support, and a very nice lunch.

It was soon filled with about 60 more people (on top of the sprinters) gathered.

Work goes on

Of course, things will break, especially during a conference. When a customer calls, it's not always at the most convenient time.

But luckily, we can do support from anywhere, even from the catacombs of a conference venue, as Geert-Jan shows here.

The presentations

It would take too much text to describe all the talks here. There were about 20, technical and non-technical, from developers everywhere.

All talks have been recorded and will be published after editing.

We would also like to thank all conference attendees and sprinters for making this event as great as it was.

We love code
