I thoroughly recommend that anyone concerned about infringement of their computing/information freedoms, or those wishing to learn what computing/information freedoms they should expect.

The introduction is interesting, I’m now swung over to the referring-to-Linux-as-’GNU plus Linux’-camp.

Grab it hyar.

It’s on Ogg/Theora format, so if you’re running a certain non-Free operating system *COUGH* Windows *COUGH*. Then you’ll need to download and install some player software, I recommend the VideoLAN client.

However, I will say I’m pretty much disappointed with the Live event, and just with LUGRadio in general. Maybe the show has slipped, or maybe I just expect more content, and not an endless stream of sub-par nob-gags.

    The talks we attended were pretty good. Ted Haeger of Bungee Labs presented a great concept in on-line development, staging, and hosting of web applications.

    Adam Sweet’s Gong-A-Thong was a terrible concept and could have been better used as an idea’s Gong-A-Thong towards the end of the weekend. Turning up to this piece of shit meant I missed the talk on SaberGL.

    All was not lost when we decided to split and got into Ben Lamb’s KDE4 talk. This small talk was a little lacking in content, greater discoveries were to be made from the Q&A session, whilst Ben tried to wrestle with KDE4 and the projector.

    Next it was onto the Mass debate, with representatives from the Open Rights Group (Becky Hogge), Google (Chris DiBona), Novell (Nat Friedman), and Microsoft, who’s representative’s name escapes me. This debate had real potential, but fell down to poor chairing by John O’Bacon, so it rapidly descended into a shout out your questions/heckle, instead of waiting for the micro-phone session. Which meant that many politer, more debate savvy people were unable to offer outside insight.

    Lastly, before the mess that’s probably going to ship as Linux-related podcast-worthy material. Chris DiBona of Google, opened our eyes to Google, how they learnt to manage data centres, how they give back to FLOSS, and just how much cash they award in the Google Summer of Code.

    Sadly it looks like Google are paying up to get the LUGRadio crew over to California for a ’special’ LUGRadio Live in the USA. I’ve got a feeling a return visit will not be funded when Google see what they get for their money.

    Sorry lads, it was funny once… When I was going through Middle School.

    If you’re there, keep an eye-out for us :)
