S05E14 – Chums of the Camp Fire




Ubuntu Podcast » MP3 show

Summary: Mark Johnson, Tony Whitmore, Alan Pope, and Laura Cowen are back in Studio A for the fourteenth episode of Season Five of the Ubuntu Podcast from the UK LoCo Team! In this week’s show:- We talk about Wubi, donating to ACF, and…going to OggCamp, of course! And all the lovely feedback left by the attendees. All the videos are gradually going online, including the OggCamp Quiz, and the video that Stephen Fry (yes, that one) made especially for OggCamp12. We also all get stuck into the geeky stickers that @hifromkatie made for us on her vinyl printer: We review the Ubuntu Made Easy book, and launch a new competition to give away our copy. You have to listen to the show to find out the question, but the closing date is 24th September 2012 and the email address to send your entry to is competition@ubuntu-uk.org (don’t send it to our usual address or you definitely won’t win). The winner will be the person who sends the most interesting answer to the question we set.
