Customer Reviews
Masses of technical insights.
Don’t be put off by the slightly didactic tone. Worth persevering with.
Informative Introduction
This in-depth, professionally presented and highly technical podcast, provides a valuable introduction to all sorts of useful open source projects. Some episodes are better than others, but this reflects the beauty of the show - it's all about the guest and their project - there's no attempt to dumb-down and make it overly accessible. If you have an interest in open source software, then this is a great choice.
Great insight into projects you know
Keep up the good work guys and don’t be afraid to get more technical. Oh and Randal, it’s Python and Vim all the way :)
