Via the Lawrence Journal-World and a short piece on the project's web site comes the news that Django now has its own non-profit foundation to oversee future development. Details about the Django Software Foundation's plans are sketchy so far, but they intend to engage in the traditional support and promotion activities. The Foundation is now the owner of the IP inherent in Django as well.

The developers of Django, a Python-based framework for creating and deploying sophisticated Web applications, announced yesterday that they have established the Django Foundation. This foundation, like foundations for Apache and Mozilla, will allow for communal ownership of the Django code, as well as accept donations and pay individuals.
