Amanda Casari: My name is Amanda Casari. My pronouns are she/her. Today is 23, October 2021. I’m speaking with Samson Goddy, who I met at PyCon two years ago now — I think it was 2019, in Cleveland, Ohio. I’m recording this conversation for Open Source Stories in what looks pretty dark, but it’s actually a beautiful sunny-ish day here in New England. My first memory of a computer — my uncle worked for IBM in the early 1980s.

Amanda Casari: Hi, my name is Amanda Casari, my pronouns are she/her. Today is Tuesday, October 19 2021, and I’m speaking with Julia Ferraioli and Josh Simmons. Julia – I work with on the Open Source Stories project. And I met Josh, I think originally on Twitter and then we just have been fans of each other’s work. And now we’re getting to know each other better. I’m recording this conversation for Open Source Stories in what feels like a cave, but is actually just a room that needs more lighting in New England.
