Ladies and Gentlemen,

We are back.

This fortnight, not only are we returning with the LUG Roundup, but we
have a very special interview with Ian Murdock, formerly the ian in
debian, now working for Sun with Open Solaris. I talk with Ian about
Project Indiana, an ambitious attempt at creating what can only be
called "the" Open Solaris distro.

So sit back and enjoy.

Thats right, after a hiatus caused by work, bandwidth and flu, we're back.

We are on the lookout for stories and interviews for both the site and the show so shoot us an email to stories@localfoss.org if you've got something you think we should know about.

I'm also exploring a couple of different ideas to bring the show a more international and inter-community feel, so stay tuned.

Well here we are with Episode 17 of Open Source On The Air, late again and without the live <sigh>.

This fortnight we delve into whats happening in the Open Solaris world. With the upcoming Opensolaris Governing Board elections, I thought now would be a good time to have a chat with three people "In The Know". Joining me were James McPherson, Joshua Clulow and Glynn Foster (who is unfortunately very muffled, apologies, he blames the sheep eating the cables).

This fortnight we continue with our Round Table format, this time looking at Open Source Graphics. I am joined by Andy Fitzsimons, Janet Hawtin and Pascal Klein in a wide ranging discussion about the growing FOSS Graphics community and the tools that they use.

Karin once again brings us up to date with whats happening in the LUGs around the region as well as touching on the upcoming BarCamp events.

Yet another late episode. Apologies to all our faithful and patient listeners.

This fortnight I managed to snag three FOSS games developers, Tim Ansell from the Thousand Parsec project, Rusty Russell - Kernel Hacker and contributer to the popular Wesnoth project, and Michael Kedzierski from kruel.org a small gaming project trying something a little different.

We sat down and had a good long chat about whats happening in the FOSS gaming world, from why RTS and turn based games seem to be so popular to what seems to be the biggest problem in FOSS game development, attracting the people who make the games look pretty.

Okay, episode 15 of Open Source On The Air will be going live tonight with a special round table discussing the ins and outs of Open Source Games development.

Participants were Rusty Russel, Tim Ansell, and Michael Kedzierski. It was a good chat, only slightly interrupted by my youngest daughter who decided she wanted to get in on the action.

As always you can listen in tonight starting off at 9:30pm (UTC+1100).

Well here's our first episode for the year.

Due to the gods of murphy looking unfavourably at us we weren't able to stream out the show last night so here's the first recorded directly for podcast show for Open Source On The Air.

In this episode we have a chat with Greg Kroah-Hartman about the new programme put together by the Linux Foundation to handle Non Disclosure Agreements (a major factor holding back some companies from releasing the specifications to their devices), catch up on all the LCA 2007 goodness and witness the announcing of a new competition from Tim Ansell of the Thousand Parsecs project.

I must apologise to all those who attempted to listen in to tonights show. Due to technical difficulties we were unable to reliably stream out.

Instead, we have made the decision to record the show and make the cast available as soon as possible.

Again I must apologise.

Tonight, we'll be having a look at LCA2007, Tim Ansells gaming miniconf and the competition he's launched for the Thousand Parsec project.

We'll also be featuring a short interview with Greg Kroah-Hartman about his recent post to the Linux Kernel Mailing List entitled: "Free Linux Kernel Development!"

Remember you can listen in at http://radio.localfoss.org:8000 (Click on the Click to listen link) starting 9:30pm AEDST(UTC+1100).

Part the second.

We continue the rocking ride that was Open Source On The Air Live at the LCA 2007 Open Day.
