Djangy gets background jobs and more
- TimothyFitz 16y agoThe name makes me immediately think janky, not something I'd want to trust :) Is the name some kind of reference I don't get (beyond Django, obviously)?
- chopsueyar 16y agoLooks kind of like the digg logo.
- benatkin 16y agoI don't think confusing k with g like that is very common. When I heard the word "ghee" I didn't notice that if I pronounced it oddly it could sound like "key".
- orblivion 16y agoI wonder if they're considering Postgres? I bet that's a hotly requested feature.
- sueders100 16y agoAccording to a tweet on Dec. 9 it should be coming "very soon" http://twitter.com/djangy/status/12951890044125184 http://twitter.com/djangy/status/12951890044125184
- endlessvoid94 16y agoPostgres is literally the next thing on the roadmap :-)
- chedigitz 16y agoI hope that Santa will bring me a djangy invite for Xmas :)
- rayboyd 16y agoI've got a few spare if you want one.
- chedigitz 16y agoDefinitely! Awesome it's jvasquez11 (at) gmail thanks.
- rayboyd 16y agoThat should be on it's way.
- vidar 16y agoCan you spare one at vidar.masson@gmail.com ?
- fooandbarify 16y agoIf you have any more, foobar@fooandbar.net :) Thanks!
- cdr 16y agoOne for me if someone wouldn't mind :)
- meric 16y agoSent.
- wwortiz 16y agoCan anyone explain to me what pony powered is? Is it just a way to say you are running django or is it something more?
- cdr 16y agoMore or less. It's a django in-joke.
- nopal 16y agoIt comes from Cal Henderson's DjangoCon 2008 keynote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6Fr65PFqfk&fmt=22#t=55m10s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6Fr65PFqfk&fmt=22#t=55m1... He jokingly said Django needed a mascot and that he could take a framework seriously if it had a mascot with magical powers.
- ubernostrum 16y agoAnd then, to answer the criticism, the community came up with the pony: http://djangopony.com/ http://djangopony.com/ And then to complete the cycle, the pony showed up to conferences, where it was much loved: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ubernostrum/3919450494/in/pool-857858@N20/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ubernostrum/3919450494/in/pool-... Lately it's retired a bit since the joke has run its course. Not sure what the next one will be.
- benatkin 16y agoThe novelty has and will continue to wear off, but the Pony won't be going away. Once an unofficial mascot, always an unofficial mascot!
