This morning I got my first glimpse of what will become Cloud27, featuring a sporty design by Greg Newman, and I already like what I see. Cloud27 is a new social network based on Pinax, a Django reference application for reusable applications.
So if there’s Pinax, why Cloud27? Well Pinax is where all development and new ideas happen. Pinax is project intended to provide a starting point for websites. Cloud27 will actually be focussed on building out on the base of Pinax and expanding it into a kick-ass social network application.
To find out a whole lot more about reusable applications and Pinax, I highly recommend a listen to This Week in Django 24, featuring Pinax / Cloud27 founder James Tauber.
I’ll be keeping an eye on Cloud27.
