This month we're going to hear from Gil Goncalves on what it means to be a manager of a software team and Alexey Tereshenkov will show us how to use SWIG to wrap C and C++ code for use in Python projects.

Doors open at 19:00 for a 19:15 start, and drinks will be provided courtesy of Corriculo. Doors close at 19:15.

1. So you want to be a manager?
   ---------------------------------------------
   Gil Goncalves will help us understand what the job of a manager is, make a decision on whether we should be managers, and that there are more ways to advance than just to becoming a manager. The talk is aimed at developers of all levels whether you're thinking about becoming a manager in the future or not.

Gil is the backend lead at Unmade, he loves Python and people.

2. SWIG and Python
   ---------------------------
   Alexey Tereshenkov will give an overview of the concepts of making C/C++ accessible from Python code and take us through some examples to show how it can work in practice.
