Andrew Bartlett and Amitay Isaacs

This talk will examine the history of the Samba project over the past
20 years, from the perspective of the scripting languages that have
been our accomplices in our crimes against network protocols.  From
AWK and perl to JavaScript, M4 and eventually python, the Samba Team's
facade of 'A C project' has always been a bit of a fraud, truly aimed
at ensuring we never used C++.

Of late, the Samba Team has embraced python as the scripting language
of choice, a move that was originally made under false pretenses.

As Samba matures to Samba 4.0, we have seen python as a key way to
engage new contributors and embrace a more flexible programming
paradigm.  Samba is now a mature python/C project, with a python based
build system, and python bindings (many auto-generated with perl!) for
many of our internal libraries.

This talk will examine the journey and highlight the challenges and
milestones as we celebrate 20 years of Samba, no longer (and never 
really) a pure C project.
