Ubuntu Podcast from the UK LoCo: S05E03 – True to His Colours

Mark Johnson, Tony Whitmore, Alan Pope, and Laura Cowen are back for the third episode of the new season of the Ubuntu Podcast from the UK LoCo Team!

Note: We’re no longer providing ‘low-fi’ Ogg and MP3 versions of the show. To reduce our workload, disk space and sanity the show is now only available in high quality MP3 and Ogg format for your listening pleasure.

In this week’s show:-

• We talk about about what we’ve been doing: Testing Unity, attending the official Doctor Who Convention in Cardiff, feeling guilty about wanting a closed, proprietary, Kindle…then getting over it, installing CyanogenMod on an HTC phone, and restoring from a backup (unlike this time last year).
• We interview Richard Hughes about many things, including GNOME power management and colour management, and his personal project ColorHug.
• In the news:-
  • Android forks back…
  • A new Humble Bundle released…
  • KDEnlive reach target in ahead of time…
  • Nouveau’s in sync with NVIDIA.
  • Blackboard acquires two commercial Moodle companies…
• And some events:-
  • Ohio Linux Fest – Columbus, Ohio – 28th-30th September
  • Barcamp Canterbury – University of Kent, Canterbury – 28th-29th April
  • Ubuntu UK Release Party – Bar Soho, London – 26th April
  • OggCamp 12!
    • Art & Design Academy, Liverpool John Moore University, Liverpool
    • 18th-19th August
    • Details of speakers, accommodation, extreme ironing 2.0 to follow
• Robin Catling and Victoria Pritchard dig up another audio recording of an episode of ‘Tomorrow’s Technology Today’ from the Herbert Maxwell Fosdyke Curmudgeon Memorial Sound Archive.
• We mention some Ubuntu related news in the bit-about-Ubuntu:-

  • Do geeks dream of Ubuntu desktops?
  • WUBI wemoved…
  • KDE’s lives…
  • Ubuntu User Survey results are in…
