In 2012, Julien Phalip started the djangocore-box project [1]: "A virtual machine for running the Django core test suite with every supported version of Python, every supported database backend and other dependencies." Unfortunately, the project hasn't seen an update in a year and a half, and I think we should take a different approach than the current one of chef & vagrant to reflect today's best practices.
We have some private Ansible playbooks for bootstrapping the Jenkins continuous integration servers, and I believe these could be adapted for use with Vagrant, Docker, or something else (let's discuss the best solution; I'm not an expert) to create a successor to djangocore-box. I would like a knowledgeable person who has time and interest to take the lead on this and I could work with you based on my experience with Jenkins. Feedback welcome!
