HPR3668: Linux Inlaws S01E63: John Hawley on kernel dot org and other shenanigans

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.

Or its outtakes...
