This Week in CoPress: Q&A with Courant News

By Adam Hemphill / This Week in CoPress / May 6, 2009 / 2 comments

Hosts: Greg Linch, Emily Kostic, and Miles Skorpen

Guests: Max Cutler and Robert Baskin

Summary: A question and answer session with Courant News, an open source Django CMS for student news organizations. The idea to build a Django CMS specifically for student newspapers came from discussion at an Ivy League news conference last April when people saw that no one had a CMS with the feature set they needed. Max and Robert, along with Paul O’Shannessy, decided they needed to fill the void. The conversation covers a bit of the history, and then goes into the specifics of the CMS. For more information, please check out or add to the wiki show notes.

    Call-in sounds like it worked perfectly. We’ll just have to figure out the live-streaming part next time. Also, there’s a bit of typing and Skype noises from (I think) whomever hosted the call.

    Thank you, sir!

    PS. I hear it too. Weird. I was muted :)
