Before the millions of UUPC listeners worldwide descend on my head and/or bombard the studios with complaints – to be fair, when I said this was episode 11, I was reading from the script…
It’s worth to point out that some of “facts” in Benjamin’s email were more or less wrong. There’s unfortunate attack going on against GNOME project but I’m glad to see that those awesome developers keeps going forward and get GNOME better and better.
Emmanuele [1] and Vincent [2] are still working on GNOME project and they were attended at hugely successful GUADEC conference.
GNOME is not Red Hat project and many companies and individuals are involved – “Igalia, Collabora, SugarLabs, Novell, Codethink, Canonical, Red Hat and Lanedo.” [3]

Had trouble downloading the ogg on multiple occasions but the mp3 downloaded straight away. Have you check the link? I chose “Save Link As” in Firefox on Ubuntu 12.04. Anyway, keep up the good work.
Hi Grant, thanks for your comment. You’re the second person to mention a problem with downloading this episode. The link is fine though. We have a system of mirrors that host the podcast, and it’s possible that the mirror that was randomly selected when you clicked the link was having an intermittent issue. Our own website can slow down at times too.
Whenever we’ve tried to download this episode, both OGG and MP3, it has worked fine. If you still have problems, if you can e-mail us the output of “wget” or a packet trace, that would be great.
Recently discovered the UUPC and as a newcomer to the world of Linux, open source and indeed Computing as a whole, i find them immensely informative, entertaining and fun! Can’t wait for the next one! Keep up the good work!
Great to have you on board Jamie, thanks for listening!
