- Mango! Will it Blend(er)?
- Fork it! (the Free Software Foundation, that is)

- Events:-
- Ubuntu Release Party, London, UK – The Cask – Thursday 13th October from 6.30pm
- London InstallFest – The Shooting Star, 125-129 Middlesex Street, London, E1 7JF – Sunday 16th October from 12 noon.
- FOSDEM – Brussels – 4th & 5th February 2012
- We have a Bit About Ubuntu:-
- Not about Ubuntu
- We have a command line lurrrrrrrrve from Andrew McCarthy via twitter:”eatmydata” runs a program disabling all fsync-like syscalls. Dangerous if power fails etc. but makes some disk-heavy tasks v. quick, “liferea” RSS reader uses sqlite as backend, but badly. Every tiny change is a fully sync’ed transaction. Much better under eatmydata.
- Finally, we have your feedback, including a corker of a missive from the Wing Commander.
- Comments and suggestions are welcomed to: podcast@ubuntu-uk.org
