+## Layout Validation
+
+### Automatic Layout Updates
+
+To ensure consistency across all blog posts, we've implemented automatic layout validation and updating functionality. This helps maintain proper frontmatter configuration for all Markdown files in the `_posts` directory.
+
+### Tools and Features
+
+#### `update_layout.py` CLI Tool
+
+- Checks and applies missing layout fields to post files
+- Can process multiple posts simultaneously
+- Usage:
+  ```bash
+  python update_layout.py fix|check path/to/post1.md [path/to/post2.md ...]
+  ```
+
+#### Pre-commit Hook
+
+We've implemented a custom pre-commit hook that automatically runs the `update_layout.py` update check on any `.md` files in the `_posts` directory that are being committed. The hook will:
+
+- Run automatically before each commit
+- Check all modified `.md` files in the `_posts` directory
+- Apply the necessary layout field if missing
+- Fail the commit initially but fix the issue, allowing you to commit again
+
+For manual layout checks and updates, you can always run the `update_layout.py` tool directly.
+

 In Durham, North Carolina, approximately 300 Django developers gathered from all over the world for [DjangoCon US](https://2023.djangocon.us/). This event showcased the knowledge of the community and celebrated its cultural diversity and the diversity of its hosting city. The event was located at the Marriot Convention Center, in the heart of the city. There were many resturants and smaller attractions.

 In 2022 at DjangoCon I took a look at the location of all of the PyCon US locations and their makeup by race. I highlighted that in the first 10 years of PyCon's existence, 9 of those 10 events were in culturally diverse cities like Atlanta, Washington DC and Chicago. The second half was during Python's boom and the need for larger venues started pushing conferences to more affordable areas with large international airports. These were places like Salt Lake City, Portland, and Montreal.
