Talk

About Andrew Godwin

Andrew is a long-time Python coder, having started using the language somewhere around 2005 (after escaping from the land of PHP 4). He is a core committer on the Django project, the maintainer of several open-source libraries (including South, the leading Django migrations framework), and has been running his own servers since his early teens.

When he's not taunting the kernel and echoing random things into /sys, Andrew is one of the two co-founders of ep.io, the Python hosting startup. He also enjoys cheese, mountains, and talking about himself in the third person.

About Idan Gazit

Idan is a design geek, fascinated with things at the intersection of functionality, usability, and things that delight the eyes. By day, he's a cofounder of Skills (http://skillsapp.com), by night he's Django's benevolent dictator for design issues. Idan would have a blog if he got around to actually setting one up, for now he is best followed on Twitter as @idangazit.

Russell Keith-Magee is a core developer on the Django project, a Technical Advisor to Hunted Media, and co-founder of a stealth-mode startup. He lives in Perth, Western Australia with his wife, son, daughter, and two cats.

About Alex Gaynor
