Python podcast suggestion

[jldugger]

There doesn't appear to be a lot of pythonic content in the podcast archives. I saw a previous issue #233 that mentioned a few leads, but let me suggest a different angle: Django.

They just released 1.10 a few weeks ago. I don't know what thechangelog's turnaround time is, so that may or may not be incredibly relevant by airing. I'm a sysadmin by trade, so I'm not incredibly familiar with the Django community structure, but I know a few people who are, and they recommended Andrew Godwin.

He's got a fairly broad background:

• South (db migrations, later integrated into django core)
• Channels (websockets support in django, will probably be in core eventually)
• Many other projects: http://www.aeracode.org/projects/

And if Andrew is unable or unwilling to make an appearance, I'm sure he could recommend someone who could.

Thoughts?

Other choices might be @adrianholovaty or @jacobian, the former BDFLs of Django, @freakboy3742, the former President of the Django Software Foundation, or @frankwiles, the current president of the Django Software Foundation.

[frankwiles]

All good choices, Andrew would be the person however to talk about Channels which is probably the most interesting thing happening to Django at the moment.

@jldugger @frankwiles @degustaf good input, thanks! We'd love to have Andrew on the show. Any of you know him personally and could intro us?

[frankwiles]

Yep send me an email frank@revsys.com and I'll put you in touch.

[jerodsanto]

Awesome, @frankwiles. Thanks!

@jldugger somewhat related: Eric Holscher was on RFC this week talking about Read/Write the Docs. Lots of Python community mentions in that show: https://changelog.com/rfc-5/

[freakboy3742]

I'm always happy to jump on a podcast, either to talk Django, or my new project BeeWare (bringing Python to iOS, Android, and other portable devices).

Thanks to everyone for your help. We'll post here when it's live. Should be a great show!
