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 On Tuesday, November 7, 2017 4:29:38 AM PST Simon wrote: > Hi Erich, > > > I really like your idea.
