Summary: Mark Johnson, Tony Whitmore, and Laura Cowen are Pope-less but, nevertheless, are back in Studio A for the eighteenth episode of Season Five of the Ubuntu Podcast from the UK LoCo Team! In this week’s show:- We interview Wolfram Sang about Linux kernel development. We discuss the new ‘skunkworks’ projects that Mark Shuttleworth blogged about and lots of people commented on. We also talk about the history of the lie-detector, writing a zero-player game in JavaScript (really), and watching Prof. Alice Roberts from Time Team give a talk on megafauna.
