FOSS Weekly

This week I'll be a guest on the FLOSS Weekly show. It's co-hosted by Randal Schwartz, Perlmonger extraordinaire, and Leo Laporte. We'll be recording the show mid-week and it will be released on Saturday the 18th. Be sure to tune in!

Update: Randal noted in the comments section that "you can listen to the show by going to http://live.twit.tv - and I'll be monitoring the IRC channel that's linked from there, so if you want to ask questions live, please do so, and I'll bring them in when I can." Seemed important enough to actually note in the main section here.. ;) You can catch the show live on Wednesday at 14:00 PST (21:00 UTC?).

I'd also like to try something a little different this time ... I'd like input from the contributor community before I go on-air.

As an ambassador for the KDE community, I try and keep my finger on as much of the pulse of the project as possible and listen to what people are saying, thinking and doing. The idea is to be able to speak with accuracy and sensitivity about KDE to the outside world. Sometimes this means having to present ideas or plans that I don't personally agree with, but which the community as a general whole has endorsed and/or gained consensus on. Thankfully that's not the usual case. ;)

Aaaaanways ... I realize that as KDE gets larger and larger it's harder and harder for me to peer into the minds of everyone, even if I do read most email on most of our mailing lists and what not.

So if you are a KDE contributor and there is a topic or project you think should get some "air time", please drop me a line before Wednesday. Better yet, send it to kde-promo at kde dot org where more than just myself can pick up on it.

I would also add that the video stream at live.twit.tv requires an internet connection of more than 512 kbit/s. Those who can't watch the video can tune to audio stream

err audio stream twit.am/listen (sorry for double-post)
