The other comment describes the situation with mezzanine accurately.

I'm actually doing this now. We're using jekyll for a tablet magazine site with several non technical staff using github and prose to manage the content.
It's actually going fairly well. There have definitely been some issues, but it's been great.

Prose.io is still fairly new, but it's open source and is seeing heavy development.

I do a lot of django, so I wanted mezzanine to work out. Unfortunately, it's a challenege.
Wordpress is wordpress. You're stuck with php and mysql. (ick).
Jekyll is awesome and together with http://prose.io, it's basically a cms.

Actually, I reloaded the issue and it was closed. Looks like digital ocean wins :)

It doesn't seem to work with puppet. Only chef:

This kicks ass.

I'm curious about why people jump on angular without even checking out knockoutjs. Knockout provides similar functionality with slightly less code. The demo/doc site is incredible.
I think it is also interesting that since backbone all the hot front end frameworks are of the model binding variety. Honestly when you do stuff like angular or knockout backbone just feels clunky.
I know that there are model binding plugins for backbone, but you still end up writing a bunch more code.

Jekyll just generates static html, so you can host it anywhere.
Honestly, this is the best suggestion, here. You can build anything you want with jekyll and never have to worry about stupid mysql/php crap ever again.

Knockout is great. I've been using it heavily for the last year.

Customizing it with less is really pretty straightforward.
You can also generate custom css from the website. Just click the customize tab in the topbar. You can bump up @baseFontSize. 16px works very well. You might also want to increase the @baseLineHeight a bit as well.

I may be biased, but I'd second the nominations for Portland, Oregon. A lot of interesting things are happening. Acquisitions and funding have been intense. Check out the list:

The only one I'm listening to at the moment is nodeup:

The podcasters are some of the central figures in the node world and always have useful content.

What's up with the downvotes? I was just commenting that dreadnot uses twitter bootstrap.
Any support for multiple languages, yet?
