The Talk
----------
1. Developing in the Open - Using Github, Python, Django and OAuth for fun and maybe profit
2. Discussing the advantages of developing a project in the open using Github.
Using our gargoyle.me project as an example, we hope to explain the advantages of using a 100% open source software stack. We will also cover Python and the Django framework with which the project was built and give an overview of a few social networks (Foursquare, Twitter,Facebook) APIs and their authentication processes that were used increasing gargoyle.me
