Django Authors Panel
summary
A moderated Q&A among Django authors about how books and screencasts actually get made and sustained — specific tooling, publishing deals, audience and licensing choices, and workflow tradeoffs. Topics include Sphinx and LaTeX agony versus Leanpub + Markdown workflow, using GitHub for install notes, automated captions and internationalization limits, payment issues like Stripe, licensing pressure from publishers (Pearson) versus Creative Commons, video stack like iShowU HD Audacity Final Cut Pro, reader demographics (roughly 80% male 20% female) and burnout and coauthoring as practical solutions.
