Mark Johnson, Tony Whitmore, Alan Pope, and Laura Cowen are back for the second episode of the new season of the Ubuntu Podcast from the UK LoCo Team!

- We talk about about what we’ve been doing: Upgrading Mumbuntu and the kids’ netbooks to 12.04, retuning MythTV, trying Pinterest, fixing a broken server, going to London Green Hackathon, improving a personal cloud.
- We get podcat interference with Alan’s headphone cable:
- We have our second debate in which we discuss the motion that “Raspberry Pi is not the saviour of computer science, it’s just the flavour of the month.”.
- In the news:-
- And some events:-
- ORGCon 2012 – London, UK – 24th March
- FLOSSIE – Queen Mary, University of London – 25th-26th May (submissions deadline 19th March)

The PI does have the potential to become flavour of the month. I think they are hoping that it will stir further innovation. Who’s old enough to remember the computing mag in the newsagents called INPUT, it taught kids ( and adults) to program on your commodore 64’s, BBC and spectrum.

The PI guys have not even bothered to put it into a case, so you can even get into plastic mould injection. I think its fantastic. I’m waiting for the white heat to die down then I’m going to get a couple for my kids.
