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.

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.
When we were at the Florida Linux Show, we did a few interviews. John Pugh, who gave a presentation on the cloud features in the upcoming 9.04 release, sat down with Smita and discussed what we can all look forward to in April.
