FLOSS Weekly—Open Source Podcast
My favorite podcast currently is FLOSS Weekly, which stands for Free as in Libre Open Source Software. The hosts are Leo Laporte and Chris Dibona. Chris Dibona is the open source program manager at Google and is in charge of Google Code, the Summer of Code, and keeping up good relations with the OSS community.
The format of the show is an interview with a prominent member of the OSS community, and because of Dibona’s contacts, the interviewees are top notch. Recent podcasts have featured Guido Van Rossum (creator of Python), Rasmus Lerdorf (creator of PHP), Randal Schwartz & Chromatic (key Perl developers/gurus), and Miguel de Icaza (creator of GNOME, and the Mono project).
The latest podcast interviews Eben Moglen, General Counsel of the Free Software Foundation, who talks about the history and significance of the GPL, and the importance and potential world impact of GPL v3. Really fascinating stuff. If you have any interest in Linux or OSS in general, I highly recommend it.
