Discussion with Jacob Kaplan-Moss

with host Kevin Fricovsky

As I posted early this AM, Jacob Kaplan-Moss teased us with the DjangoCon 2008 logo over on Pownce. I've emailed once with Jacob in the past so I figured I'd give him a shout to see if he was interested in talking about the conference during lunch. Luckily for me he was, and I couldn't have been happier to have Jacob on the "show" to discuss some details. We talked DjangoCon and even the Django 1.0 release party. We start with a quick introduction, and then get right into DjangoCon. It runs 8mins and 33 seconds.

Discussion with Eric Florenzano

with host Kevin Fricovsky

This week's callcast features the seemingly always busy, and always productive Eric Florenzano. Eric is a cool cat who is very active in the django community.

He's currently working on django source code ticket #6095 - adding the ability to manually create M2M intermediary models. We talked django, reusable apps, git, model inheritance, django for noobs, and well... a lot of stuff actually. As always, I'm looking for feedback on these callcasts - tips and suggestions are always welcome. Follow the jump to read more...

Discussion with Benjamin Golub

with host Kevin Fricovsky

Benjamin Golub is the one man show behind tweet2tweet, rssmeme, and most recently fftogo (friendfeed to go). Interestingly enough Ben wrote all these apps with python and django. Maybe even more interesting is that two of the three apps run on Google App Engine(GAE).
