Ubuntu Podcast from the UK LoCo: S05E04 – Cube Root of Conquest

Mark Johnson, Tony Whitmore, Alan Pope, and Laura Cowen return again with the fourth episode of season five 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 insanity 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 including buying nothing at an auction, turning 40, upsetting small children, going to a wedding and watching Blake’s 7.
• We interview Jonathan Riddell about the news that Kubuntu has a new sponsor, Blue Systems.
• In a slow news week:-
  • License changes…
  • Code merges…
  • and more license changes…
• However, in BILLION News:-
  • $1 BILLION!
  • $1 BILLION!!
  • ~$1.59 BILLION!!!!

• And we have some OggCamp related news!
  • The Official hotel for OggCamp 2012 is the Britannia Adelphi City Centre hotel (in Liverpool)
  • Call +44 (0) 151 709 7200 and ask for the delightful Jackie Carter and mention OggCamp and code “OCAD1708″.
  • Yes! That’s right! Pick up the phone and speak to a real human when booking for this awesome event!
  • Rooms are £35 per person per night based on 2 people sharing a twin or double, single rooms also available at £60 per person, per night

We interview Les Pounder & Tony Hughes about the upcoming U³ which will be at MadLab in Manchester on 28th April!

Les is also looking for sponsors for BarCamp Blackpool! If you know someone who’d like to help out the premier North-West UK BarCamp event, please contact Les!

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.
