The django CMS Association is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2020 with the goal to drive the success of django CMS, by increasing customer happiness, market share and open-source contributions. We provide infrastructure and guidance for the django CMS project.
-
We innovate and lead: We define the long-term roadmap and strategy of its core development. We make sure that bugs and usability problems are fixed quickly. And most importantly: we always ensure the voice of the community is heard.
-
We foster contribution: We activate and inspire community members to contribute and maintain the ecosystem in which the CMS can continue to grow and flourish. It is important for us to create an atmosphere in which everyone feels comfortable and welcome.
-
We drive adoption: We get the word out about django CMS and increase visibility of the CMS in the market. We identify target audiences and drive awareness. We match potential django CMS clients and certified django CMS service providers.
As non-profit organization, the dCA is dependent on donations from the django CMS community. The best way to donate is to become a member of the association and pay membership fees. The funding will be funneled back into core development of django CMS and other community projects.

The django CMS Association was founded to ensure the long-term success of django CMS and to guarantee the further development of the django CMS project. The dCA sees itself as a mediator within the open source community and aims to create a pleasant atmosphere of mutual respect and recognition. The focus is on further development of django CMS and on community projects like events and conferences. Through marketing measures the awareness of django CMS shall be increased.

In addition to the annual General Assembly, where decisions such as the roadmap or budget are determined by all association members, the dCA regularly organizes community events such as hackathons or webinars and other formats.

Because you care about the existence of django CMS and its future! Your membership is a statement of support to the django CMS open source project. We all benefit from the license free django CMS, whether we use it for our websites or for customer projects. However, to be prepared for future challenges, financial means are needed to secure django CMS success and sustainability. For this reason we have founded the association. As a member, you not only participate financially, you also get a say in the future of django CMS. With your votes at the General Assembly you can decide in which direction django CMS should develop, from a product point of view or as an open source project in general.
We offer a range of corporate memberships with different fees depending on the size of the company and the savings made from using a license-free CMS. For individuals that cannot afford a business membership but want to support the django CMS Association. They can also do so on top of their company's membership, out of personal interest.
The django CMS Association is a non-profit association with based in Zurich, Switzerland. The association is financed by the donations and membership fees of its members.
