A Brief History of Django with Frank Wiles
summary
A newsroom-built web framework gets extracted from a CMS, gets open sourced after a lawyer meeting that debates BSD license versus GPL, and the company transfers Django’s IP into the Django Software Foundation in 2008 so competitors will use it. Performance needs spawn a cache framework (memcached) and repeated MySQL corruption drives an internal switch toward PostgreSQL. Ellington remains as the leftover CMS, the admin UI and docs win early adopters, and Django hits key milestones by 2015.
