Great Erich,
That sounds good to me. I'm sure we can come up with guests and I'll ask
people if they would like to be one to discuss a specific topic.

Hi Doug,
Storyboarding isn’t really what is generally needed in a podcast. However, as
with any podcast, it requires content gathering, booking guests, and coming up
with general topics. Here’s kind of what I envision:
This podcast would be a Linux podcast with an (open)SUSE-first slant. Meaning,
it would cover all topics in Linux news in general, but the headline would
always be something from openSUSE and/or SUSE. It would be weekly or
semi-weekly, depending on overall time to commit.
I envision the following segment format:
- Intro, including “what have you been up to?” for the hosts to answer.
- News from around the Linux community with discussion, with openSUSE and SUSE
news first and headlining.
- Main topic or interview, hopefully centered around (open)SUSE
- Emails & Feedback
- END
That’s what I’ve come up with so far. As far as a launch date, it all depends
on what we come up with here.

Hi Erich,
I think this sounds like a great idea. Did you need any help story boarding or
anything of the nature. Let me know. I will help out where I can.

Hello all,
I just did a Google search looking for a potential openSUSE podcast
and came across an old thread on this list with various people
interested in starting one up. Unfortunately, nothing ever came from
that, with the exception of, at the beginning of this year, Bryan
Lunduke had started SUSE Open Audio… which never, as far as I can see,
got past two episodes. Not sure what the reasons for that, but from
what I know of Bryan is he is a very busy man.
I’ve been looking for a Linux project to get involved in lately. My
first attempt has been to revive Edubuntu, the education flavor of
Ubuntu. Unfortunately, I have received no response from my contacts at
Ubuntu/Canonical (I helped in the early days of getting Ubuntu MATE
started), and it seems as if the project is being stonewalled in an
effort to let it be discontinued. My reason for this was because my
son just entered Kindergarten and I wanted to be able to provide him
with an operating system tailored to his needs. He has shown an
interest in Linux and has a plush Geeko he regularly cuddles with
(which should have been my first indication to go with openSUSE). I
intend to set him up with the openSUSE Li-FE project when I can get a
small computer (read: Netbook or the like) for him.
That said, with my media production background, podcasts or something
of the like seem to be projects within my wheelhouse. I’m a former
producer with Jupiter Broadcasting and even appeared in an episode or
two of the Linux Action Show, long after Bryan left, and I used to
regularly contribute to Linux Unplugged. After taking a couple years
off, I’ve been a part of the Linux Unplugged “Virtual LUG” when time
has allowed. My day job is as a production director (video editor,
audio engineer, and lighting tech rolled into one) at a church in
Seattle. I could go on and even drop a few names, but that might not
be relevant at this time.
I would not be opposed to leading the efforts to revive a podcast for
openSUSE, or even being a host. I know there are tons of people within
the community who would make excellent hosts, contributors, or
cohosts. Two seems to be a magic number many podcasts use for number
of hosts, but I’ve also seen large successes with three hosts. Single
host podcasts tend to get boring as there’s no color or conversation
to bounce around.
Anyhow, if this seems like a good idea, then let me know. It sure
would be “a lot of fun.”
