Who's up for a DonationCoder talk show?

Heh - that's like the big secret among agents.

With apologies for minor provincialism, "Most Actors/Actresses" are of "blah heritage". "Grew up in NY of Italian/Germanic-Hungarian heritage" - basically a recipe for those dark looks.

Okay, let's go up a step. Try Star Trek TNG's Marina Sirtis. British-American of Greek stock. Getting there.

Then for Hugo Weaving I can only quote Wikipedia.
"Weaving was born at the University Teaching Hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria, to English parents Anne, a tour guide and former teacher, and Wallace Weaving, a seismologist. His maternal grandmother was Belgian. A year after his birth, his family returned to England... before relocating to Melbourne and Sydney in Australia, Johannesburg in South Africa, and then returning to England again. While in England, he attended the independent boarding school Queen Elizabeth's Hospital. His family moved back to Australia in 1976..."
(Edited lightly for Wiki-cite crap.)

Well... You'd probably want to record it and then release it as a podcast later, right?

With our international userbase here, I can't see a single time when it would be good for people to tune in live.

Renegade:
@ superboyac, have you anything worked out yet?

kyrathaba:
Maybe one of your segments could feature a brief interview with one or two NANY 2012 devs.

Deo makes an excellent point. Maybe something like the Linux Action Show does? It's broadcast live on Sundays. And the podcast download is available shortly after the live show.

Would be very cool to do that. Interviewing coders about their approach to projects, choice of tools, development practices, etc. would be a terrific addition to DC. And maybe help it get a little better back to its original concept. Which might not be a bad thing since you can get good sociopolitical discussions in a lot of other places (although the caliber of the discussions and the level civility is unusually high here) but real grass roots hands-on coder shop talk is pretty rare. Most of the good code sites limit themselves to tightly focused tech Q&As - but don't have much on design or approach. I can't speak for everybody, but I'm personally much more interested in why coders decided to do something than I am in what they did, or how they did it. Coding recipes can be found all over the web. Coding design discussions are much less common.

Start with Renegade. ;D :Thmbsup:

And that's my 2¢ :)
