The world's premiere Linux and Free Software radio show

07.07.11: Adam's Lumpen Potato Adventure
Jono Bacon, Stuart Langridge, Chris Procter, Adam Sweet, and Ade Bradshaw get back together after a three year hiatus for a 2011 LugRadio reunion show! Featuring:

• Social networking: what's identi.ca's place in the new world order? Is it free-software-specific, and is that a good thing or not? (1.40)
• The Devil's Drink: a quiz with an unpleasant forfeit for getting questions wrong, and which could be construed as a way to make Adam's life miserable, for which see below (15.45)
• LibreOffice, OpenOffice, and Oracle: what does it mean that there are now two competing suites, and where do we go from here? (29.50)
• In season 2 we talked about viruses on Linux and whether they were a problem. Seven years later, we revisit the situation in the light of the rise of Macintosh viruses and say: are we still right to be smugly safe? (44.10)

This video, and specifically The Devil's Drink, has an accompanying video which shows how Jono and Stuart deliberately stitched up Adam, the poor soul. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-ZEE_Lz6e0 for the full story, and once again superb applause for Adam for taking it like the hero he is!

That's it for our 2011 reunion show: we'll see you in a couple of years, probably…

24.10.09: LugRadio Live and Unleashed 2009
Jono Bacon, Stuart Langridge, Chris Procter, and Adam Sweet in the last ever LugRadio show, from LugRadio Live 2009. Featuring all the previous LugRadio presenters, a wall behind the presenters with abusive Twitter commentary, Jono in a raccoon suit, over a year's delay before the release of this episode, sterling work from Tony Whitmore in getting it all done, and:

• LugRadio Live: we're not doing it next year!
• Oracle buy Sun, which bought MySQL: what does this mean for the most popular open-source database?
• The two LugRadio Live banners, one signed by every attendee of LugRadio Live 2009 and given to MrBen as Community Hero Emeritus, and one signed by the presenters auctioned for ORG and won by Andy Standford-Clark (and see below if you wish it had been you!)
• What's happened since the very first LugRadio in 2004? A look at the news of yesteryear to see what's changed in the last five years, and why nothing seems to have changed: have we made any progress?
• What should open source conferences in the UK be like? LRL is over, but should there be other conferences like LRL?
• Big thanks to people who made LugRadio and all the LugRadio Lives happen; Bytemark, Microsoft, Mike Evans at MSE Design (grab him for all your graphic design needs!), Intellidata (and specifically Ron Wellsted, who did loads for LugRadio), System76, and Linux Magazine. The furthest travelled to LugRadio Live 2009: from New York!

Andy Stanford-Clark, who won the banner signed by all 7 presenters, has decided to auction it to generate more money for ORG, especially as there are people who weren't able to make LRL2009. Please take a look at his auction and give generously! See the eBay auction here!

Watch the official video! Available for download in Ogg Theora, WMV, and mp4 formats from archive.org, and you can watch the video directly at blip.tv!

19.07.08: LugRadio Live and Unleashed 2008
Jono Bacon, Stuart Langridge, Chris Procter, and Adam Sweet get up on stage at LugRadio Live UK 2008 and talk about various things:

• LugRadio Live: let's do it next year!
• What will we be talking about a year from now? What's going to go on in the free software world between now and LugRadio Live 2009?
• OpenStreetMap: the OSM team take the opportunity to answer some questions about the project
• Has all the fun gone out of open source? Now that half the people hacking on code are paid for it, and we have to think about corporate governance and trademarks and patents and PR and commercial viability, is what we do as much fun now as it was then?
• Four years of LugRadio: the attendees tell us what they've liked about the show since the beginning
• A few prizes: congratulations especially to our new LugRadio Community Hero

Video of LugRadio Live and Unleashed is forthcoming: keep your eyes open for it, because it'll be brilliant!

Thanks all for coming: we'll see you next year!

14.07.08: I'll state my case
Jono Bacon, Stuart Langridge, Chris Procter, and Adam Sweet talk about Linux, open source, and all manner of associated things. In this, the last ordinary LugRadio show, we're talking about:

• Why don't pundits fuck off? Are we pundits? Why don't we fuck off? Including free bonus Aq vs. Jono arguing, as if you couldn't see that coming (4.52) [Discuss in the LugRadio forums]
• twitter - the microblogging site. Why do people care? What's good about it? Is it Web 2.0 micro-cack or is it the New World Order? Our thoug (27.33) [Discuss in the LugRadio forums]
• The internet makes access to "public" information hugely easy. This is normally a good thing, but there have been some well-publicised cases where this new lack of secrecy has caused some upset. Our thoughts on responsibility and the nature of public but sensitive data (44.10) [Discuss in the LugRadio forums]
• Your emails, for the last time. Thank you all for the deluge of emails we received wishing that we weren't going to end the show and offering suggestions for how LugRadio could continue -- we'd need a whole other show to read them all out, but we read them all and we're really touched. Also, the nature of contribution to open source, and "best practice management" where good IT is replaced by slavish adherence to existing brands (62.15)
• LugRadio Live is this weekend! The last ever chance to hear the LugRadio team's particular brand of lies and commentary. In addition, there are thirty speakers, a great exhibition, parties, your 5-minute talks on stage in the Gong-a-Thong (send us your talks!) and lots more. We'll see you all this weekend! (83.35)

30.06.08: More on that later
Jono Bacon, Stuart Langridge, Chris Procter, and Adam Sweet talk about Linux, open source, and all manner of associated things. In this show we're talking about:

• Starting out on your own: if you're thinking of setting up your own company working with technology or the web or open source, what do you need to do to make it successful? Is it possible to compete in the market as a one-man show? Is it just too risky? (1.19) [How can you make money running your own company? Tell us in the LugRadio forums]
• The State Of the Mozilla: Firefox is the poster child for open source software, but are they forgetting their open-source base and not supporting the free desktop? There have been lots of accusations of this -- is it actually the truth? Secondly, Mozilla's rendering engine, Gecko, seems to be losing the war for being an embedded engine to WebKit. Are people heading away from Mozilla's technology? (20.00) [What do you think of the Mozilla project's approach? Tell us in the LugRadio forums]
• We announce that LugRadio will end at LugRadio Live UK this July, and talk about why the show's going out on a high. Tell us what you think: send us email or post on the forums (37.15)
• If you could fix any problem in the open-source world what would it be? Thoughts on usability, modularisation, the web, and shared user accounts (44.15)
• Your emails -- this week you're talking about McGyver, gun control, power metal, freedom hatred at the FSF, other Linux podcasts that we think that you should be listening to, and LugRadio Live UK which is in less than a month! (73.40)

This is a Podcast for embedded Linux developers. We discuss the latest news and how to's in the world of embedded Linux.

12.06.09: Episode 42: Qt/Embedded for Linux
For this topic, Maciej invited Timesys engineers, Justin and Scott, to participate. Both engineers, having enjoyed using Nokia's software on the Neo phone and having experience with Qt/Embedded for Linux at Timesys, share their insight into the recently released graphics toolkit. The trio spends time introducing historical perspective on Qt and unsuccessfully tries to figure out the long list of names the package has had over the years. Scott talks about other open source graphics frameworks, such as GTK+ and Glade, and Justin introduces concepts around QtCreator.

14.05.09: Episode 41: Desktop-based Build Systems
For this episode, Maciej invited two Timesys engineers, Daniel and Jason (both of whom have been working with the Timesys desktop build system and a number of open source ones, including buildroot and LTIB), to participate. After introducing Timesys' approach to building complete Linux platform, the trio talks about the differences and similarities between buildroot, open embedded and LTIB, and also touch on mainstream distributions like Fedora and Ubuntu. Lastly, Daniel addresses a question received from a listener regarding tradeoffs in latency vs. throughput when migrating from a micro-kernel solution to Linux.

13.02.09: Episode 40: Overview of 2.6.28 Linux Kernel and Talk About the Newly Introduced Boot Tracer
In this episode Maciej and Daniel, one of Timesys' Linux gurus, talk about what's new in the 2.6.28 Linux kernel. The conversation focuses on several aspects of the 2.6.28 kernel that are particularly relevant to an embedded Linux engineer. The pair seems to enjoy in particular talking about the concept of the staging driver area in the kernel and the newly introduced Boot Tracer.

29.12.08: Episode 39: Overview of 2.6.27 Linux Kernel and Talk About UBIFS
In this episode, our hosts talk about what's new in the 2.6.27 Linux kernel. Various new features are covered in detail, including support for UBIFS. The hosts discuss the benefits of UBIFS for developers and how UBIFS compares to JFFS2. Other topics touched on in this episode include valuable tidbits about embedded Linux features.

03.11.08: Episode 38: Interview with Mike Erickson of Logic
In this episode, Maciej and Gene interview Mike Erickson of Logic, a leading board design and manufacturing company, and discuss weighty topics such as today's hottest processors, Linux acceptance, Pittsburgh's Mt. Washington incline, minimizing boot time and if the consultant who claimed he was lead through a government building with a bag over his head (as not compromise security) was pulling Gene's leg. Write podcast@timesys.com if you have something interesting to share.

03.10.08: Episode 37: Free Software - Part 2
In this episode, Maciej and Gene talk about what free software means in practice, both for companies that create free software and those who use it as part of their business. The pair gets upset when some vendors follow the letter but not the spirit of free software by being coy about providing source code or through licensing software that attempts to node lock basic tools like GCC.

08.09.08: Episode 36: About Free Software:
Maciej and Gene talk about what "Free Software" means and the rights and obligations of Free Software users. The pair talk about what's different about GPL3, tivoization, and the Lesser GPL among other topics.

04.08.08: Episode 35: 2.6.26 Discussion and MPatrol:
After a bit of a break, Gene and Maciej talk about 2.6.26 from an embedded developer's perspective. The pair also discuss the ins and outs of using MPatrol: how it works, what it's good for, and some of its more nifty features.

26.06.08: Episode 34: Overview of 2.6.25 and Talk About debugfs:
Maciej and Gene talk about what new in the 2.6.25 version of the kernel that's relevant to embedded developers, like CANBUS (thanks Volkswagen) and real time features that all allocation of processor time by process group. Gene also talks about debugfs and how engineers can use this light-weight file system to fetch data from kernel modules, like its name implies, it debugfs is a great debugging tool.

13.05.08: Episode 33: The Propeller Chip:
Last month, TimeSys was at the ESC West show and brought along the LinuxLink radio gear. In this episode, Maciej and Gene interview Jeff Martin about the technology behind his company's product, the Propeller chip. What interested Maciej and Gene was the interruptless nature of the Propeller chip's design and how the chip handles some real-time requirements at the hardware level.

04.04.08: Episode 32: Profiling on the Cheap:
Gene and reluctant guest host Jeremiah Lott talk about how to do basic system profiling when you're low on resources. By using some basic library functions, coding in an interrupt handler and using the proc filesystem, you can get a good look at how your application is using resources. Gene wastes time talking about how the Windows-running car wash POS system crashed last week.

23.02.12: Episode 31: Review of Embedded World Conference in Nurnberg:
Maciej and guest host Scott Gilbertson discuss their experience at the Embedded World Conference in Nurnberg, Germany.

23.02.12: Episode 30: Profiling Tools - Hardware Efficiency:
Gene and guest host Jeremiah Lott discuss various profiling tools to get the most efficiency out of your hardware. In this episode they focus on using profiling tools to optimize the kernel.

22.02.08: Episode 29: Fahd Abidi Interview -- Hardware Debuggers:
Gene interviews Fahd Abidi, Sr. FAE with Ultimate Solutions. Gene and Fahd discuss hardware debuggers. What are they? When do you need one and When you might not need one.

07.02.08: Episode 28: Open Source Updates and Intro to Inter-Process Communication:
Gene and maciej discuss various updates to the release of the 2.6.24 Linux Kernel as well as the latest release of GCC. They also start a series on inter-process communication.

Don Marti brings you the latest Linux news and interviews with Linux insiders.

28.08.08: Cisco offers Microsoft Exchange replacement: Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols
LinuxWorld.com author Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, who recently wrote "Can Open Source replace Microsoft Exchange?" explains the technical and business rationale behind Cisco's entry into the e-mail and groupware market. Postpath promises to be not just easier to license, but less stressful on the hardware budget. (19:59)

22.08.08: The executive director speaks: Stormy Peters
Don Marti and Jeremy Allison get on the phone with GNOME's new executive director, and seek answers to the hard questions. What's planned for the coming KDE/GNOME combined developer conference? Why do GNOME apps scribble their debug messages on your Mutt session? What is Twitter good for? Who's less interesting to normal people, distributed revision control nerds or software license nerds? What's a Twiddler? What does the SECRET HISTORY OF STAR WARS reveal? And what does an executive director do, anyway? (61:16)

14.08.08: Connecting with kernel developers: Jon Corbet
Need a feature in Linux, and don't want to face the firehose of information on linux-kernel? Jon Corbet, author of the Linux Foundation's new kernel contribution guide, explains where to go to get started, what the kernel developers are looking for from a new contributor, and how a hardware vendor can develop an open source driver while keeping hardware data confidential. (11:27)

31.07.08: Riding the rails with Chris DiBona
Don Marti and Jeremy Allison corner Chris DiBona, Google's open source program manager, about his role as software license gatekeeper, the politics of network neutrality and Thomas the Tank Engine, a couple of annoying bugs, and of course the upcoming Golden Penguin Bowl at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo. (49:19)

30.07.08: New Samba offers encryption, Vista compatibility: Jeremy Allison
We're splitting the LinuxWorld podcast into two: the existing interview series, plus a new talk show with Jeremy Allison and Don Marti. In the first episode of the new show, we discuss the latest release of Samba, SMB encryption, Linux hatred, why Vista can catch the blame for Samba bugs, Microsoft OOXML, and the upcoming LinuxWorld Conference and Expo. (49:05)

19.07.08: A lighter, simpler MySQL: Brian Aker
Brian Aker, a principal engineer for MySQL at Sun, explains the Drizzle project: a new, stripped-down derivative of MySQL that relies on best-of-breed internal libraries, eliminates support for obsolete platforms, and has already attracted contributors from outside Sun.

17.07.08: Scavenging code: Ken Krugler
This podcast covers an essential skill for the modern developer: scavenging code. Whether it's using open-source components in their entirety, grabbing a line or two, or anywhere in between, the more you can borrow from others the more you can get done. Just how many quiet code-borrowers are there? Can embedded devices borrow from the Linux desktop? And what do the company lawyers think of all this cutting and pasting? (17:28)

08.07.08: Virtualization becoming a checkbox item
Virtualization is becoming a feature, not a product, with OS vendors bundling it in new releases. Brian Stein, director of engineering for virtualization at Red Hat, explains the company's new oVirt project, which includes power-saving features and web-based management that lets users request their own virtual systems. (11:16)

19.06.08: Mobile Linux consolidation: Bill Weinberg
Fragmentation on mobile phones is a fact of life -- one mobile application developer might have to build 200 to 300 SKUs for a single application. But carriers, hardware vendors, and software developers are increasingly cooperating on a common set of open source infrastructure, including Linux, Qt, and gstreamer. Bill Weinberg explains where the mobile phone market is going.

12.06.08: Comparing Linux and Windows power draw: Tom Henderson
Tom Henderson tested Linux vs. Windows power consumption on several modern servers with power-saving hardware and firmware features. Result: A Linux mail server, running sendmail and procmail, beat Microsoft Windows running Exchange. But was the Linux box accepting mail at the same rate as the Windows box? And were both OSs syncing the incoming mail to disk? Linux users had questions about the test on LinuxWorld.com, blogs, and LWN, and Tom answers them. (17:39)

Going Linux is a podcast for computer users who just want to use Linux to get things done. Whether you are new to Linux, moving from Windows to Linux, or thinking about upgrading to Linux, this podcast will provide you with practical, day-to-day advice on how to use Linux and Linux applications.
