S05E08 – Queen of the Flaming Diamond

Alan Pope, Mark Johnson, Tony Whitmore, and Laura Cowen are back for the eighth episode of Season Five of the Ubuntu Podcast from the UK LoCo Team!

Note: We’re no longer providing ‘low-fi’ Ogg and MP3 versions of the show. To reduce our workload, disk space and insanity the show is now only available in high quality MP3 and Ogg format for your listening pleasure.

In this week’s show:-

• We talk about upgrading to Quantal Quetzal, upgrading a router, updating a blog theme, and going to a beer festival.
• We interview Elizabeth Krumbach from the California LoCo team, Ubuntu Women, and the Community Council. And we interview Charles “Dr. Chuck” Severance at the Dev8eD conference.
