Like most open-source foundations, the goal of the Django Software Foundation is to promote, support, and advance its open-source project: in our case, the Django Web framework.

The foundation's goals are to:

• Support development of Django by sponsoring sprints, meetups, gatherings and community events.
• Promote the use of Django among the World Wide Web development community.
• Protect the intellectual property and the framework's long-term viability.
• Advance the state of the art in Web development.
