HPR1252: The Long Road To Linux
Me Oh My I/O! | CR 50
Google I/O has wrapped up and the guys have two very different takeaways. Has Google addressed our pleas from episode 49, or did we only see half the answer from I/O? Mike and Chris debate.
Plus: How Google’s focus on G+ could be great for developers, the new guy challenge, and a batch of your emails!

And we're back...
Welcome to the Burning Circle. The production suspension has now concluded. For release on Monday, May 20th, this is episode 113.
I have sent to the e-mail list and posted elsewhere a notes update to bring everybody up to speed as to what is going on. I will not reiterate it here. If you need a link to it you will be able to find such in Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter 317. You are subscribed to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, aren't you?
We've had three folks attempt to join our community. I have disapproved two already and one remains in the pool. As a rule of thumb, I do ask that if I e-mail you that you please respond to me within a week. Within that amount of time, even a postcard can reach me via the United States Postal Service. Two people seeking to join did not contact me within a week's time and after multiple e-mails greeting them. One person remains in the queue with four day left to say something even if it is to tell me to go away. As a local community we have to be about more than just collecting a stylized Ohio flag logo on your Launchpad page. My biggest fear is that that has been the case a couple hundred times already.
We're heading into the Saucy Salamander cycle. We're way, way too quiet across the state. We have a mailing list. We have an IRC channel. We have a voicemail drop box to contact the leader. We need to speak up more as a community.
From the south shores of Lake Erie in the border port community of Ashtabula Township, this program has been brought to you over the facilities of the Internet Archive and Ubuntu Ohio by Erie Looking Productions. Our producer, Gloria "The Half Million Dollar Woman" Kellat, remains on medical leave. Our owner and engineer is Mike Kellat. I am the head writer, Stephen Michael Kellat.

Docker: Containers Made Easy | LAS s27e01
Linux Containers offer functionally similar to FreeBSD’s Jails and OpenVZ, but have remained mostly outside the reach for casual users. Today we’ll show you how Docker can get you up and running with some of the most powerful technology available for Linux today, in minutes.
Then – We run down the big distro releases, debate of Ubuntu is the OS X of Linux, answer some of your great question…
AND SO MUCH MORE!
All this week on, The Linux Action Show!
Seven thousand elephants.
In typical English style the team kick off this episode by discussing the cold and grey weather outside. Yet again the boys are smug that there are no corrections from the last episode.
We kick off by discussing Microsoft Open Technologies Inc and their first year of contributing to free software. The guys struggle to find anything tangible that Microsoft has actually done but Pete lays his cards on the table and begs Microsoft to actually do something. We also hear how an anonymous MS developer has written a pretty revealing insight into why development of their kernel is so slow and Matt tries to discuss the "Microsoft's most profitable OS that's not even theirs." Android patents deal but Pete says he's heard it all before and can't be bothered with it.
"Pirating is theft you swine" Matt tells us about an interesting survey that maintains that for 10% of pirated material there is a 300% increase in legitimate purchases. The guys discuss the very fact that the Internet provides the ability to view what you want when you want and that pirating, in a lot of cases, can lead to people purchasing the DVD, books or merchandise for that downloaded show.
Pete proves that he is a moron and can't even read by introducing this item as co-funding, Matt tries to tell the old fart "you need to put your glasses on Pete, there's an r in there!" this item is in fact about a crowd funding project on indiegogo for purchasing a whole bunch of wikireaders to supply to, hopefully, new world students.
Archie Woof, woof
Pete couldn't find anything much to put into this section therefore Matt comes to the rescue by talking about his Manjaro install.
It began in South Africa
As you can imagine Pete is in his element when Matt starts to discuss the proposal for Ubuntu to create their own package management environment "one more step to my prediction" screams Pete. Matt desperately tries to point out that yet again this is just a proposal but Pete suggests that maybe he should take out yet another Ladbrokes bet. The boys fall about with laughter at the revelation that Ubuntu's servers are running a version of Apache that is 12 months out of date! Your data is safe with us.

The forum is down! Matt has no idea when he will fix it, in fact he's not sure he wants to. :-(
