Hi, my name is Harlem and this is the companion website for the Fresh Ubuntu Podcast. I am the host of the show and along with my co-host Peter, we do a somewhat weekly account about anything that has to do with Ubuntu. Thanks for dropping by the site. Feel free to have a look around and click on some of the great links on the site. Enjoy!
One last thing - I started the podcast in July of 2006, and we have been going strong since then. Initially, it started as my first forays into linux, but now has grown up a bit by delivering the best news, how-to's, and tutorials - all with a bent towards the Ubuntu distro. Subscribe for free using iTunes or other podcast receiver. Thanks again for dropping by!
This week we had some interesting news to cover and among them was the blueprint for the next release of Ubuntu dubbed Intrepid Ibex. Yes, it almost feels too soon but judging by all the work that goes into every release it couldn’t be soon enough. Of the things being touted in the upcoming release is the term “ubiquitous connectivity”, yes, wifi woes could be coming to an end very soon. And we can only hope and pray that this comes to pass. But, the main part of the program features an interview with Mike Basinger who kindly joined us for nice little interview about the forums and membership. Overall, Peter and I had a great time with Mike and mad for another great show. Thanks for listening in:)

It was only Peter and I this week, but that’s ok. We did Just fine despite the long distance and the poor internet connection. I was on Skype and Peter was on a cell phone and to all intents and purposes the sound was not too bad. I really haven’t got much to write about today so I will just post the links and be on my way. We will, of course, return to more regular programming next week. Have a great weekend everyone:)
There is not a whole lot to say here other than we had guest from all over the world come on the show and tell about their experience with Hardy Heron. Included in teh discussion besides Peter and I, were none other than good friend of the podcast Knightwise and Cafeninja, Jason Watkins, Chad Wolllenberg from the Linux Basement Podcast, and our good friend from the Ubuntu-UK podcast Alan Pope and Tony Whitmore along with folks from Canonical Jorge Castro and Mike Basinger. I think we could have gone all night talking about Ubuntu and the wonderful things it has done but the guys in Prague just couldn’t stay away from cave men:) See the restaurant link below. Here are some of the links mentioned in the podcast, njoy:

Geat podcast today and I truly wish I could do more podcasts like this, just plain old banter and verbal jousting. Maybe in the summer when I get really lazy:) So, here is a little background on the podcast. Initially we were going to have the roundtable this week, but it coincided with the Ubuntu Developers Summit which is taking place in Prague in what was formerly known as “Czechoslovakia” and currently know as the Czech Republic (okay so my forte is not world geography). However, the fellas joining us who were scheduled to join us for the roundtable did not receive the memo that we were postponing the show and joined in the fun anyway. And those folks were Alan Pope and Dave Walker of the Ubuntu-UK Podcast. They happily provided some useful banter and unusual insight on the news. As peter stated, it was the longest news segment ever but we both agreed that it was just a long banter session with a little bit of news tossed in for flavor. I will also have them along next week as well during our roundtable. so here are the links to the show and I hope you enjoyed the podcast.
Since the decision to fork Pidgin has been surrounded with some questions and perhaps a bit of controversy, we here at the Fresh Ubuntu Podcast decided it might be worthwhile to interview one of the developers of the new fork and get a few of our questions answered. So, we brought in Justin to ’splain a few things to us and get to the bottom of things. As usual, we also have a plethora of action-packed, thrilling, adventuresome news and a bevy of user feedback, not to mention Cafeninja’s MPM on the more command. All that and more fun with Peter and I and Galactic Overlord Candidate #1, oh and also the Peace Penguin. They’re coming out of the woodworks folks so stay tuned:)
