This week on our panel, we have Katrina Owen. KATRINA:  Hello. CHUCK:  Avdi Grimm. AVDI:  Hello. CHUCK:  David Brady. I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv and I’m going to be impostoring both Josh Susser and James Edward Gray today. We also have a special guest and that is Tim Chevalier.  Is it [she-va-lee-ay]? TIM:  [Sheva-lee-ay]. CHUCK:  [Sheva-lee-ay]. It’s French. TIM:  It is. CHUCK:  Looks French-ish, so I said it French-ish, I guess. Anyway, do you want to introduce yourself really quick? TIM:  Sure. My name’s Tim Chevalier. And right now, I’m a Research Engineer at Mozilla. I work on the Rust programming language, but in my copious free time, I blog at  HYPERLINK "http://www.GeekFeminism.org" www.GeekFeminism.org and on Dreamwidth about the social aspects of tech, especially diversity and intrasectionality.
