I wonder if they're considering Postgres? I bet that's a hotly requested feature.

According to a tweet on Dec. 9 it should be coming "very soon"

Postgres is literally the next thing on the roadmap :-)

Can anyone explain to me what pony powered is? Is it just a way to say you are running django or is it something more?

He jokingly said Django needed a mascot and that he could take a framework seriously if it had a mascot with magical powers.

And then, to answer the criticism, the community came up with the pony:

And then to complete the cycle, the pony showed up to conferences, where it was much loved:

Lately it's retired a bit since the joke has run its course. Not sure what the next one will be.

The novelty has and will continue to wear off, but the Pony won't be going away. Once an unofficial mascot, always an unofficial mascot!

More or less. It's a django in-joke.

I hope that Santa will bring me a djangy invite for Xmas :)

I've got a few spare if you want one.

If you have any more Djangy invites, I am interested in using it ktbyers2 at hotmail. Thanks.

If you have any more, foobar@fooandbar.net :)

Thanks!

Definitely! Awesome it's jvasquez11 (at) gmail thanks.

That should be on it's way.

Can you spare one at vidar.masson@gmail.com ?

Not a problem, should be on it's way.

Thanks!

One for me if someone wouldn't mind :)

Sent.

Much appreciated.

The 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)?

I 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".

Looks kind of like the digg logo.
