I was leaving my hotel room after the end of OggCamp, thinking to myself I had enough interviews recorded and something made me go back and get my recorders. I'm glad I did as I bagged some fantastic interviews. The first one was with Rebecca Newborough web mistress of the Lincoln LUG http://lincoln.lug.org.uk/ on how to start a lug. The first step is to visit the UK Linux User Groups site at http://lug.org.uk/ We all went to the Leaf venue for food and conversation http://thisisleaf.co.uk/#/on-bold-street/, while there I interviewed a few gentlemen starting with Kris Findlay about changes at his LUG and his work at Krisilis IT Solutions www.krisilis.com Raspberry Pi GPIO Demo http://www.slideshare.net/azmodie/introduction-to-raspberry-pi-and-gpio Introduction to Raspberry Pi and GPIO from Kris Findlay Video on youtube (should also play after slide 14 on slideshare) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkXMnCBs2ms The Software Society http://www.thesoftwaresociety.org.uk Then we had a chat with Ian Closs over from Ireland. We discussed the local FLOSS scene, Mark Shuttleworth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shuttleworth who will be attending SkyCon http://skycon.skynet.ie/2012/ and Archeology. To round it all off a long round up with Fabian A. Scherschel http://sixgun.org/fabsh/ who true to his word gave me an interview for HPR. Of course he is still on record to submit a show to HPR himself. You might think that's the end of OggCamp but I still have shows from last year to post :)

Skipping our usual Syndicated Thursday, we're continuing our week long fix of OggCamp12. Today it's day two, or the morning after the night before where we interview: Popey http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/ Lorna http://lornajane.net about the PHP North West event on the 5th, 6th & 7th October in Manchester, UK see http://phpnw.org.uk/ for more information Simon Phipps for a chat and a heads up about the Communications Data Bill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Phipps_(programmer) Aq http://www.kryogenix.org/days/ Ade http://about.me/adrianbradshaw Jon "The Nice Guy" Spriggs http://jon.sprig.gs/ Adam http://www.transitiv.co.uk/ Chris https://twitter.com/chr15p Mark http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/ Trystan Lea from http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/ Special Guests

This is the second show from OggCamp12 where I walk around the hardware hacking area. A big thank you to all the people I interviewed and who took the time to explain their project to me. OggCamp12

Be Very Afraid! In this mini-interview Simon gives a quick introduction to the Communications Data Bill, recently introduced to the UK Parliament, which proposes to establish a nation-wide database of all citizens' text and email communications, and explains the problems with the proposals, notably the lack of judicial oversight and the massive potential for mission creep. Transcript: doubi: We're here at OggCamp 2012 at John Moores University in Liverpool and I'm here with Simon Phipps who's going to be giving a talk tomorrow on behalf of the Open Rights Group. Simon, what will your talk be about? Simon Phipps: I'm going to be talking about the Communications Data Bill, which is a piece of legislation that's just about to go through Parliament, and has very worrying consequences for people's civil liberties on the internet. doubi: Right, "Communications Data" maybe doesn't sound like it's to do with people's civil liberties, so what's it all about? Simon: Well, this is a Bill that solves a problem for the security services in the UK, in particular the secret service that we have over here, and the police forces. They're very worried that they can't see what's going on inside your email, and inside your text messaging, and inside your other online communications. They have for a long time been trying to get a succession of governments to put into law rules that allow them to snoop on all of your communications. They tried to do it under [the previous Labour Party government], and it didn't quite work out because there was an outcry in civil society about it, and it's now happening under the Tories and Liberal Democrats. So this is not a partisan issue at all. This is an activity that is arising out of the Cheltenham data centre that is used by the intelligence services and arising out of the police forces, who are all very worried that they can't read your email. doubi: Now, I've heard a little bit about this and I've heard it pitched in terms of, "This is the security services just trying to keep up with changing technology." What do you say to that, because people obviously people are using different forms of communication now; is there anything legitimate in the security services needing to "keep up" with that? Simon: I think it's legitimate for them to need to "keep up" but that is not a good excuse for them to do what they're doing here, because what they're doing is creating a right to ask every internet service provider to keep, for twelve months, all of your traffic on the internet, so they can analyse it off-line. That gives them plenty of time to crack SSH, to crack SSL keys, to crack any encryption that's going on. The big problem is that this right is being created fresh, it's being created without any right for you to know that it's happening, it's being created without any judicial oversight, so that the police can just decide to ask for your material to be created. It's also being created in such a way that should the police choose to they could create a central database of all this information that could then be casually searched. By "casually searched", I mean it could be searched, for example, by organisations enforcing family law disputes, organisations enforcing defaults on mortgage payments, organisations who are looking into whether you have renewed the MOT [annual road-worthiness test] on your car. All of those would be the sort of excuses to go dipping in on a fishing expedition on your perso

This is the first of an all week extravaganza covering the party that was OggCamp 12. It was held on August 18 / 19 2012 in the Art & Design Academy Liverpool John Moores University Liverpool, L3 5RD The levels are all over the place and I don’t have the time to edit it further as I’ve been traveling all day. So in the spirit of HPR, I’ll put content over audio quality and release it as is. http://liv.lug.org.uk/wiki/ http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Manchester http://www.bytemark.co.uk/ http://www.openrightsgroup.org/ http://sixgun.org/dan/ https://scraperwiki.com/ http://twit.tv/show/floss-weekly/185 http://hgd.theunixzoo.co.uk/hgd-www/ http://www.tdtrs.co.uk/ http://www.visnos.com/ http://sixgun.org/fabsh/ http://crunchbang.org/ https://lespounder.wordpress.com/ http://barcampblackpool.com/ https://fsfe.org/index.en.html http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/ Thanks to everyone who I interviewed.

Hello world. Welcome to the Full Circle Podcast on Hacker Public Radio. This episode consists of an interview with journalist and author Becky Hogge. Her book, Barefoot into Cyberspace: Adventures in Search of Techno Utopia came out last year around the time of the extradition case surrounding Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. The book explores modern technology and society through activism and journalism, covering the hacker counter-culture, from Stallman and Lessig, the Chaos Club to WikiLeaks Julian Assange and Rop Gonggrijp. “I think most of what were fighting still today in the world is incompetence. Most of what we’re fighting is stupidity, and maybe a little bit of opportunism. There is also the ominous, control-seeking large corporate interests.” “We come in peace. We’re not called Chaos Computer Club because we cause chaos. If anything, a lot of our collective work has actually prevented chaos by pointing out that maybe we should lay some decent virtual foundations before we build any more virtual skyscrapers.” Barefoot into Cyberspace: Adventures in Search of Techno-Utopia by Becky Hogge, illustrated by Christopher Scally ISBN 978-1-906110-50-5 (print) | 978-1-906110-51-2 (Kindle) The Full Circle Podcast is the companion to Full Circle Magazine, the Independent Magazine for the Ubuntu Community.
