pboddieThere's quite a bit of Python going on in that scene.19:04

pboddieHarald Welte would be interesting, especially with the Free Software angle.19:24
pboddieThere are a lot of forward-thinking German people around. Isn't that right, xorAxAx? ;-)19:24
xorAxAxyes, but isnt harald a bit too far away from python and its community? he has strong FOSS ideas, though19:25
pboddieMichael Lauer, then?19:25
xorAxAxno idea what he does, i just know he is active on the mailing lists19:26
pboddieOpenEmbedded.19:26
