First Autonomous Podcast

October 1, 2008 in podcast by Benjamin Mako Hill | 3 comments

About a week ago, on September 18, a subset of the of the folks behind this blog (Evan Prodromou, Bradley Kuhn, Luis Villa, Henry Poole, Mike Linksvayer, and myself, Benjamin Mako Hill) got together for a phone call to mark the the six-month anniversary of the meeting that brought us together to talk about software freedom and network services and that eventually led to the the Autonomo.us blog.

Although our conversation was reflective and unstructured, we left the recorder rolling. I’ve gone ahead and put that recording up, essentially unedited, for anyone that anyone who’d like to listen in on what we had to say to each other.

One concerete outcome of our conversation was a decision to do these types of podcasts more in the future. We’ll invite guests who are active and involved in thinking about and taking action on issues related to software freedom and network services, we’ll get hear from them, and we’ll talk to them about the issues as a group.

We hope our next one to be up in less than a month with a guest that’s still to be finalized. You can listen to or download the first podcast in OGG vorbis format now.

    I’m glad that I was so insistent that we publish this recording. I think we cover some great issues, and it’s a good first step for a podcast. Sorry I slagged Wikipedia Weekly — that was unfair. I’ve started a page in our wiki for future planning: http://autonomo.us/wiki/Podcast

    My apologies that I talk waaay too fast on the recording. Otherwise, I think it’s really great that we got it up and I hope we can do more of these in the future.
