Re: [opensuse-marketing] Podcast Revisit

[Erich Eickmeyer]

HI All,

Sorry for my silence, but work got incredibly busy. Unfortunately, I’m going to 
be unable to produce a podcast at this time. My time is being drawn elsewhere. 
I thought I would have the time, but, unfortunately Murphy’s Law prevailed and 
everything got extremely busy for me soon after I came up with the idea.

That said, whomever wants to take the reigns on the project, go ahead. I had 
quite a few ideas for the production side, but it didn’t work out.

My apologies if I wasted anyone’s time. I would love to see an openSUSE 
podcast, and will gladly listen, but my time is currently being drawn elsewhere.


Take care,
Erich

Re: [opensuse-marketing] Podcast Revisit

[Erich Eickmeyer]

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to give a progress update and some goals I have in mind for 
getting this started.

First, it's going to be an audio-only podcast, though I may just livestream it 
on Twitch or something, and perhaps have an official chatroom whether that be 
my 
personal channel on Twitch or a special one I could make on Freenode. 

Second, my goal for the first episode is the first week in December. Not 
exactly 
a lofty goal because, in the past week, I have been prepping my machine to be 
a podcast recording studio, complete with open source tools such as Jack, 
Ardour, Calf, and more. This might even be the topic for the first week: 
turning your openSUSE install into a podcast studio. Before that, I hope to 
launch a pilot episode for you all to hear, just as an example.  Everything is 
set to go (even theme music), with a few exceptions.

So, the one thing I need is a name for it. "openSUSE Podcast" seems pretty 
obvious, but if anyone has any creative suggestions in mind, I'm all ears.

I also welcome input for topic and interview suggestions.

That's what I've got for now. Stay tuned, and your input is welcome.  :)

Erich

Re: [opensuse-marketing] Podcast Revisit

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.

[opensuse-marketing] Podcast Revisit

[Erich Eickmeyer]

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.”
