Sitecore license and development question - sitecore

I currently work for a company that bought Sitecore & used a partner, my company bought 1 license.
The site went live a few months ago and now my company have now decided to cut ties with our partner and take the development of the sitecore site and any other sites inhouse.
My question is: Using the license our company currently has, can we develop the site, and can we create new sites etc?
If anyone can shed any light on what can and cant be done would be great as at the moment Im trying to get my head round how we take our current live site forward and how we think about creating new sites inside sitecore also.
Regards
kyllle

As long as the license your company uses is a developer license, you can continue using it to develop that site and others, if it is for a different site and not a dev license you'll need to get a developer license from Sitecore.
You can usually email them at support#sitecore.com (it'll take a while to get a reply though).

What is necessary to make the deploy of a Django Application in an internal network?

I'm a student, making a django project in school for a few months, since last year, using Django Rest Framework and React. A project for a hospital, to manage patients, appointments, medicines, etc. I have asked some questions here a few times on how to do a few things in Django and it was really helpful.
I've presented the system for the people in the hospital, they liked it, there are some adjustments to do yet, going to fix it this weekend. I'm using python anywhere free account to host it. So now I have a few doubts, this month I need to make the deploy of this project in the hospital, they want to host it there for production. They have scheduled a meeting with me, my teacher who is the one guiding me and responsible for this project, and the director of IT of the hospital, the director want me to explain for him what he will need to host the project in the hospital. In my inexperienced head I thought the only thing he will need there is to install python 3.6 and MySQL on their servers. My teacher asked me to make a research of what we are going to need to make the deploy there, before the talk that is scheduled for next week with the director of IT.
So here I'm, I would like to ask you guys, any tips you have, any text I could read about what I will need to deploy a Django application in the hospital network?
One fact that can be useful, when it get in production, there will be at max 7 people online at same time using the system. Django 2.1, python 3.6, rest framework, reactjs, mysql.
Most probably there will be a windows machine in that case you can simply use the inbuilt IIS and configure the Django on IIS and open few ports on the firewall, it's the easiest i belive.
If IIS is not there you can enable it from the windows features like so
enter image description here
and follow this configuration for the starters

dotcms community edition capability

I am working on developing a weksite using a Java based CMS and had a close look at dotCMS community edition.
The website will initially hold some 500-600 pages, with good seo integration, performance, search capability. The pages will have images but no videos.
I want to run the site with dotcms community edition for a year or so and then upgrade to a licensed edition.
Can anybody please suggest if dotcms community edition can help build & run the site covering my above requirements.
Any pointers in this regard is appreciated.
Unfortunately the community edition does not support integrated search (the licensed edition uses elastic search), so you'll have to add third party search. All the other requirements are not a problem. I've build many many sites with dotCMS and I have never had a problem with those aspects of the CMS.
To figure out what is in and what is out, check out this list: http://dotcms.com/explore/editions/
Agree with Koenpeters, when we have a CE site on dotCMS we use Google custom search that we use, and then we have a plugin that feeds GCS a feed of all pages to index for searching...

Forum module for Sitecore 7.*

I'm building a website which requires forum integration to a Sitecore build - I've checked on the Sitecore website and they suggest YetAnotherForum and Telligent Community Integration Module. Both of these modules tho only support up till 6.4.1 and 6.4 respectively - I'm using Sitecore 7.0.
Logged a ticket with Sitecore and they came back with the following:
We have no information about Forum modules that are compatible with Sitecore 7.1. I would recommend you to contact your regional office and check whether they could advise you something.
Any suggestions?
First of all Telligent supports Sitecore 7.
Reference link
I have been working with Sitecore and Telligent Community integration from quite time and from my experience i have this opinion.
For deep integration it is quite a lot of work and requires much knowledge of both the product and costs will be high for licensing & deployment. But i can assure you that Telligent will work in Sitecore newer version also. However with higher costs you will get more rich functionality, Facebook like Activity Stream, and Apart from Forums it also has Blogs, Wikis, Media Gallery.
Telligent supports two kind of integrations:
1. Side by Side Integration - In this Sitecore and Telligent both will be user facing.
2. Integration mode - In this user will be mostly in Sitecore.
Reference link
If you are Sitecore Partner you will get trial license of Telligent. For details check 'Social Starter Kit' on Sitecore SDN site. Also there is video on YouTube regarding Sitecore & Telligent Integration in Sitecore Virtual User Group community.
I have no experience on YAF module so can't suggest on that.
Did you try to install YAF integration module, https://marketplace.sitecore.net/en/Modules/YAF_integration.aspx, i think it would run on Sitecore 7, since this module mainly integrate YAF with Sitecore security, i don't see why it should not run on Sitecore 7.
The Telligent product was renamed, I suggest you take a look at http://www.zimbra.com/products/zimbra-community/sitecore-starter.html and contact them. I'm unaware of what version they're targeted at right now.

Please suggest Joomla or Drupal software product theme?

I'm looking for a Joomla or Drupal software product site theme(preferably Drupal and free)? I have no problem if the theme needs some css hacking. Any suggestions?
Thanks
If you're selling the utility program and you're using Drupal, you should use Ubercart. (check out http://ubercart.org and http://drupal.org/project/ubercart ).
A good theme optimized for selling products is http://drupal.org/project/acquia_prosper
To get up and running with acquia prosper and ubercart in general quickly I would recommend the following project http://drupal.org/project/uberdrupal

hth,
john.
UPDATE 19/01/2012 - The above link is still active!
If you have good hosting deal and want cheap (or free) CFML engine, why wouldn't you try the Railo?
If you want a free CFML engine, then Railo is definitely the way to go! I've had it running on my server for about a year now and love it!
Official Coldfusion 6 is no longer downloadable from Adobe and support is discontinued.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402091.html
There is no free edition of Coldfusion which can be used for business. Coldfusion 9 has a free educational version for universities as well as a developer's edition which can be used for up to two (2) ip addresses.
