Gondor has caching (has for a while) and background jobs will be available this week. Gondor is not a sideshow to the consulting; if anything, it's the other way around :-)

On top of what Linode offers (which, in Gondor's case is provided by Rackspace Cloud Servers) Gondor is fully managed with an automated provisioning and deployment platform. It's really another layer on top of what a VPS provider is doing.

we would have called it robohashsidebysidecomparison.com but it didn't seem as sexy.

right, we just built this site as a quick way of doing fun comparisons between robohashes to see which looks cooler

Note, don't look on master for the majority of work. See the fresh-start branch https://github.com/pinax/pinax/commits/fresh-start (and various external apps used by Pinax)

Can you let us know (either via support@gondor.io or the #gondor channel on freenode) what problems you encountered? For some people, things go very smoothly out of the box; others hit assumptions we made that don't always apply (or aren't

(Not to get off topic, but first a couple of corrections: 1. Pinax is not specifically about social networks; it is used as the basis of all sorts of sites, very few of which are social networks; 2. While Pinax uses many contributions from

Next up we need Boston Companies Using Django

have you seen the company's logo?

by jtauber 16y ago
well, it is available to our development clients, and soon some select private beta testers

Great ideas. We're also considering "one does just deploy into Gondor" but not enough people might get the reference :-)

Right, we didn't decide one day "oh, let's build a Django deployment and management solution"; we've already been doing this for two years and are now wanting to provide it for more than just our development clients and own sites.

...Mordor? Fortunately, this ain't Mordor.

I'd say almost all of them would be problematic.

Well, the point of the blog post wasn't to explain the project, just announce the new site; but I like the (implied) suggestion that the downloads page could have a blurb. We could put a blurb on each blog post at the side too.
