In this podcast, we talk to David Nalley, a Fedora Ambassador. No, we didn’t change our name to the Fedora Podcast! But we talked to David about a couple of different projects he is part of. First, he is helping organize the SouthEast LinuxFest, which will be held on Saturday 13 June, 2009 in Clemson, South Carolina.
David is also working on a project related to OLPC and Sugar Labs. Do you want a free OLPC? Help develop a 4th grade math curriculum app for the OLPC. David got a boat load of OLPCs to hand out to interested developers. To find out more and how to get involved, see here.
Most importantly, we discuss how to get a date using the OLPC.

Very possible you will find us making stupid faces like above or embarrassing ourselves unnecessarily.
Funniest comment during Open Week so far comes from today’s Q+A session with Mark Shuttleworth:
17:24 jcastro [nixternal] jcastro: QUESTION: Do you think Kubuntu is a blue headed step child that every seems to think it is? If not, can you put the rumours to rest, with possibly a song or a lovely poem letting everyone know just how much you really love us over in the Kubuntu community?
17:24 sabdfl oh dea
17:24 sabdfl r
17:24 sabdfl this question makes me rather sad, because i don’t know what else i could do
17:25 sabdfl i worked out the other day that i personally spend more than $2m a year supporting Kubuntu and KDE
17:25 sabdfl and yet those communities think it’s cool to act unloved
17:25 sabdfl i think the Kubuntu community’s work is amazing, and they should be proud of it
17:25 sabdfl there’s no need to make out like it’s against the forces of corporate indifference
17:26 sabdfl when in fact I and many others bend a long way to make it possible
17:26 sabdfl that’s about enough on the subject
17:26 sabdfl next?
As usual, nixternal trying to cause a ruckus!

At the Florida Linux Show, Smita did a quick interview of Michael and Michelle Hall of Qimo. From the Qimo site:
Qimo is a desktop operating system designed for kids. Based on the open source Ubuntu Linux desktop, Qimo comes pre-installed with educational games for children aged 3 and up.
Qimo’s interface has been designed to be intuitive and easy to use, providing large icons for all installed games, so that even the youngest users have no trouble selecting the activity they want.
In this episode, Leslie talks about Google Summer of Code, the history of it, how to participate, what participants get out of it, and most importantly, if she uses Ubuntu.
