Linux Inlaws.
This is Linux Inlaws, a series on free and open source software, black humour, the revolution and freedom in general (this includes ideas and software) and generally having fun.
In this episode Martin and Chris host John Hawley of kernel.org fame. The discussion centers around Python, the royal British family and other FLOSS topics such as some break-away colonies like the US, version control systems, wireless wikis and containers. Never mind Python. Did I mention Python? :-) And perhaps VMware. Ever wondered why early versions of git just gobbled up your main memory? You may or may not find the answer in this episode. Or its outtakes...
