Uget'ing. Or would, if http://linuxoutlaws.com/podcast/ogg/138 didn't point to episode 137.

Gimme a minute! It didn't. I hadn't pushed "publish" on the ogg page yet. I always create the forum topic and then copy and paste the link into the two Drupal pages. It takes a few minutes. The file was up at Libsyn though.

I thought people knew that by now...

Nice, have really been looking forward to that! Can't wait to hear it.

Cool!

It is a pity that the news about a possible takeover of Novell was unknown by the time of this interview: I would have loved to listen what Zonker had to say about it and if it is somewhat linked to his decision to leave as openSUSE's community manager.

I was thinking exactly the same.

I was thinking about that too. It sure looks like everyone is jumping ship at Novell... We'll talk about this on 140 naturally. I doubt Zonker would have commented anyway, as you will hear he was very deflective on that topic as it is...

They probably do. I am usually never that fast, so I hadn't come across it before.

[Fab]

No worries. Once I go to the new system (which I still have to code), all this will be moot anyway...

[Swathe]

Awesome should be a good listen.
