Out of interest, why? Hello Alan. It will be a fresh installation on a new hard drive. Rather than use my exisitng CD, plus downloading about 400Mb (guessing!!) of upgrades, it will be better to use the new CD. Also, I will then have the latest CD if I need to install in the future - either a reinstallation on my machine, or one on another machine.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Wanted: Podcast transcribers
Can I just say thank you everyone for volunteering to transcribe podcast. As a deaf man my self I do really appreciate this and I will be notifying deaf lug. The hard part is the timing and guessing whos who speaking but try not to worry about this as I am sure people will help or just put ? or unknown speaker. once its written other language translators will find it easy as they don't have to listen but read the transcript and translate it . And please dont forget to add your name at the end of it and email address (you don't have to If you don't want to) so you know how much we apracte this. Subtitles on TV does this and I know they get emails. This sort of thing was talked at LUGRadio but they gone off the idea , don't know why but I cant complain as its a free service. But anyway I thought id write and thanks to you all for comming up with this idea.

[ubuntu-uk] Lug Radio RIP
http://www.jonobacon.org/?p=1208 Presumably, this means Lug Radio Live 2008 will be the last of the best free software events in the UK. Sob. Still, at least there's the Ubuntu-UK podcast. But we need a new community event!

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Lug Radio RIP
A big shame - I look forward to LRL every year, and love the show. If any other ubuntu-UK people fancy stepping up to the plate to help help organise another event or even a podcast - count me in (Hell, I'd be happy to organise it) On 30 Jun 2008, at 17:01, John Levin wrote: http://www.jonobacon.org/?p=1208 Presumably, this means Lug Radio Live 2008 will be the last of the best free software events in the UK.

[ubuntu-uk] More Transcription news
Hi This will probably be my last mail about podcast transcription to the Ubuntu-UK mailing list. The transcribers team now have a separate mailing list specifically for transcription of audio data. It's hosted on launchpad and is part of the transcribers team. https://launchpad.net/~transcribers I have cc:ed this mail to that list, making it (hopefully) the first mail to the list. Apologies if you're on both lists and see it twice. Many thanks to all of you who expressed an interest in audio transcription. Since we decided to set the team up and get people transcribing I've been talking to other podcasters and other interested parties about the project. As I may have previously mentioned, I'd like to get other podcasts onboard so that we can widen the scope of the team, not just catering to the Ubuntu UK Podcast, but anyone who would like their podcast transcribed. A good number of other podcasters have expressed an interest, which is great news. We have also hit a great milestone. Our first fully transcribed podcast! Thanks to the efforts of the Audio Transcribers team on launchpad, a full transcription of Episode 1 of Series 1 of the Ubuntu UK Podcast is now online:- http://linkpot.net/untied/ It's available in html and plain text format:- http://linkpot.net/summerier/ - html http://linkpot.net/brunted/ - txt We will probably look at putting a copy of that directly on the website, so that people can find it easily. If anyone has suggestions on how we can improve the look and feel of the plain text and html too, suggestions welcome. For a 40 minute podcast it's a surprisingly small amount of text, which just goes to show how little typing can be required to make this work :) Time to crack on with the other episodes, to get the full set done for now, and ask once more if anyone would like to get involved, please join the team:- https://launchpad.net/~transcribers Thanks, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
