Well, I have officially lost count of the how many podcasts I have done but no biggie, I'll just have to count them one of these days. So, it may be awhile:) Not much to say today other than we are now 100% more geeky with a brand new IRC chat room. We are talking old school, back to the Arpanet here! Check us out on #freshubuntu at freenode and we can now chat. Be seeing you.

I attended the Ubuntu Live conference in the beautiful city of Portland Oregon and had the good fortune of interviewing Jono Bacon the "Community Manager" for Ubuntu, Gerry Carr, the Marketing Manager for Canonical, and none other than Mark Shuttleworth. If you haven't seen the post with the pictures on it you might want to take a look at it as it adds to the ambience.

It will be interesting how this pans out. But, basically it is providing services after installation. The premise is if you install Ubuntu, you can get support anywhere around the world.

Chris Kenyon, Marten Mickos, Doug Fisher will be speaking on various topics on the advancement of technologies of open source and the opportunities for Ubuntu. It should be interesting. Thanks to Dawn Applegate for the courtesy she provided us. We hope someday we will be able to return the favor.
