Ted Bowman, senior software engineer with the Drupal Acceleration Team at Acquia, joins Mike to discuss the game-changing work of the Layout Initiative. Sorry about the poor quality of part of Mike's side of the conversation (as well as the comical overdubbing of other portions of the conversation).
Matt Glaman, (mglaman) and Bojan Zivanovic, (bojanz) join Mike live from Disney World to talk about decoupling Drupal Commerce as well as the roadmap for Drupal Commerce as a project.

Ted hosted some BoFs about the topic, and Mike posted a comparison of some of the more popular Docker-based, Drupal-focused local development tools, so we figured it was a good time to devote an entire podcast on the topic. In addition, Mike and Ted name their "favorite thing" from DrupalCon Nashville.
Brooke Candelaria, (htownbrooke), the new Conference Director for the Drupal Association joins Mike Anello to introduce herself to the Drupal community as well as to provide a preview of DrupalCon Nashville as well as her thoughts on the evolution of DrupalCon Europe.

David Needham (davidneedham), Developer Advocate with Pantheon as well as a long-time Drupal community member and trainer, joins Mike Anello to discuss his new-ish role at Pantheon, tools for trainers, and a bit of a rabbit-hole into local Docker-based development environments.
