Ubuntu Podcast » MP3 show

Summary: Laura Cowen, Mark Johnson, Alan Pope, and Tony Whitmore are in Studio A for episode 19 of season 4 of the Ubuntu Podcast from the UK LoCo Team! In this week’s show:- We chat about someone’s new job at Canonical, going to a murder mystery party in costume, upgrading RAM in laptops and getting a new Android phone, and playing with Ruby and xvfb. Can you guess who’s who? We also interview James Smith from AMEE who we met at Homecamp 4 and we have the second installment of the second wave of The UUPC Quiz – this time brought to you by Mark. In the news:- Apple release ALAC under Apache… HP announce ARM servers… Canonical and RedHat partner up again… Cabinet Office talks a lot of sense about Open Source… Microsoft contributes to Samba project…?!? Events:- BitCoin conference, Prague, 25-27 Nov Indiana LinuxFest April 13-15, 2012 2012. Indiana Yes, you guessed it (again), FOSDEM will happen in Brussels on 4th – 5th February 2012. We have a Bit About Ubuntu, in which we discuss Alan’s week at UDS. You can listen to recordings of sessions and even watch videos of some sessions. We have a command line lurrrrrrrrve from Russel Dickenson who found it on StackOverflow in his hour of need: ffmpeg -i input_video -vf “transpose=1″ -r 30 -sameq output_video It’s useful if you have recorded some video in portrait mode and you want to play it in landscape mode. We have your feedback, including a frankly bizarre contribution from the Wing Commander.
