Overview of the Wagtail CMS for Python / Django

Tom Dyson and Torchbox, creators of Wagtail are coming across the pond from England. We'll be hosting a limited capacity event for people interested in learning more about the CMS for Python / Django. I've become quite a fan since I've started using it, as it is developer and content creator friendly.

Please note, we only have 25 seats available, so please, only RSVP if you are certain you can make it. The event is on the third floor (Suite 300, level 3-A) of St. Leonard's Court. The entrance is on 39th Street across 39th from Boston Market.

About Wagtail

Wagtail is an open source CMS written in Python and built on the Django framework. Built by developers for developers, It offers a fast attractive interface for editors where content can be created and structured intuitively. Elegant, powerful and agile - we’re very proud of what Wagtail can offer.

Why Wagtail?

There are plenty of great open source content management systems. We've used Drupal very successfully on big sites for clients including high profile campaigning NGOs, fundraising charities, think tanks, universities and public sector organisations. There are also some excellent Django CMSs, including Mezzanine, Fein and Django CMS, with thriving developer communities and impressive case studies. But having built content-managed websites for 14 years we have strong opinions about the editor experience and how a CMS should work and be structured, and we need to manage a more rapid pace of development than we can achieve by contributing to existing projects.

Django friendly

Torchbox has been enthusiastic users and supporters of Django since 0.96, and we're proud to count Django luminaries like Simon Willison and Andrew Godwin among our alumni. Django has been our favoured platform for bespoke application development over the last five years, because it continues to hit the sweet spot for robustness, speed of development and coding pleasure.
