We’re here with cake and an interview. We’re Alan Pope, Mark Johnson, Tony Whitmore, Laura Cowen, and The Podcats. We’re here in Studio A for the fourth episode of Season (Series) Six of the Ubuntu Podcast from the UK LoCo Team!
In this week’s show:-
- We interview Jono Bacon, Ubuntu Community Manager, about recent community controversies. If you managed to miss the hullabaloo, (lucky you!) you can find out more about in our last episode.
- We share some GUI Luv: x-tile
- We chat about switching to Mutt and about blogging and tweeting for the Sam Shaw Appeal, which is raising £250,000 to send Laura’s friend’s 4-yr-old son to the US for cancer treatment.
- And, of course, we go over your marvellous feedback.

One thing that hasn’t been discussed about Mir/Wayland, is some of the non-technical aspects.
-Mir: Single stakeholder, GPLv3 with Contribution License Agreement, developed behind doors for 9 months
-Wayland: Many stakeholders, MIT, developed in the open from start
Those characteristics by themselves are enough for companies and communities to reject Mir.
Thanks again for another very interesting episode. Like Alan, I’ve found pulseaudio to be almost completely transparent for a few years now. The only place I’ve noticed pulseaudio still causes problems is if you want to run JACK to make some music using a DAW – for instance to get QJackCtl running the JACK daemon then I often have to issue a “killall pulseaudio” from the command line to get it to start. Which seems a little aggressive, really.
BTW: Please don’t change the theme music – it’s perfect.
Any chance of sharing that much discussed mutt config?

Sure. I should blog about it really, which I will when I’m happy with it.
Thanks Dave. I agree with you about jack. The only time I have had audio pain recently is jack related.
