    That javascript library I couldn’t remember the name of for accessing hardware is called BONDI. It’s designed with mobile devices in mind, but works with webcams and stuff too.

    I was intrigued by the discussion about stupid users and getting involved in the broader computer community. I am one of your idiots. My problem is trying to input myself into a linux community it’s too “high level” for me to get very far. It’s not that they’re not nice or accommodating, They are interested in and focus on, things that are far beyond where I am. Thanks for the show.

    You compared the Aspire Revo and the Alucha ? on your podcast. I am trying to find the Alucha ,not the correct spelling, can you assist.

    Thank You

  • Clueless User

    I totally agree with your comments about clueless users such as myself. I am taking your advice and going away. I will go off and use my Ipod, Ipad, Facebook service and other products that don’t require me to think and I don’t really understand the implications of, because no one bothered to take the time to explain a better way to me. Thanks!

    Signed,

    Did you really use the first 8 minutes for thanks ??
    I thought the Ubuntu “community” was about free flow of knowledge, don’t you understand that bowing endlessly towards sponsors is the microsoft-commercial way ?
    Please put your thanks on the site or at the end of the podcast, so I can skip them like bad publicity.
    That only was a pain because of how much I like your work.

    @charles
    If you want to set up a free entry conference for several hundred people over a weekend sometime with no sponsorship then go right ahead. Good luck with that.
    We took the decision to sponsor Oggcamp not because we have so much money that we don’t know what to do with it (hey, but if you have, come talk to me, you could be my ideal customer), not because we wanted to buy advertising space on UUPC (UUPC rocks, but to put it mildly it is not the ideal advertising channel for our target market), not because we thought our customers might pop in to the event (it was a 5 hour drive, kind of out of our catchment area) and it was not because we wanted to support the community from the outside. It was because we are *part* of the community.
    There are quite a lot of people who do stuff with proprietary software in some way as their day job, but have fun with Free software as a hobby. We do stuff with Free software as our day job, and have fun with Free software as a hobby. There is a perception that the people who are trying to make a living out of this stuff are a lesser part of the Software Freedom community. I think we have to get over that.
