0:11 – Nader welcomes everyone to the show. Nader makes note of the guest and the panel.

0:43 – Nader: For those who don’t know you, could you please offer your background?

0:55 – Guest: I am involved with the open source, side of things, through React Native. I am involved with building the community through the React Native group.

Question from Nader to Gant.

13:15 – Panelist: It’s great to have a community help out. That specific project can be your focus for 6-8 months, and to have help is great!

15:31 – Panelist: Did you get weird information from people where they shared what they didn’t like?

15:41 – Guest: It was a great exercise to see where the community was coming from. We have a huge infrastructure built around the open source.

19:59 – Panelist: If someone has a question, how does the community respond to such a query?

20:24 – Guest: To go back about your gratitude – there are tons of other engineers that have contributed in a huge way. I appreciate it, though.

27:27 – Nader chimes-in.

27:41 – Guest.

27:44 – Panelist: We are standing here and looking at a lot of great progress. What does the future look like? Say in the next 6 months? Are we refining the same or are we doing something else? What can we expect?

28:13 – Guest: There are a lot of things I cannot discuss, but…

31:06 – Nader: That’s exciting! I didn’t know about the updated website. Is that something that you’ve been kicking around?

31:25 – Nader: You mentioned MooTools. Can we talk about that some more? Tell us about your connection, please.

32:06 – Nader: I think jQuery was my first thing.
