[06:55] <dholbach> good morning
=== jacky is now known as jalcine
[18:02] <pleia2> can someone have a listen to this new podcast and give some feedback? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-news-team/2012-September/001631.html
[18:02] <pleia2> need to figure out whether we should include it
[18:04] <holstein> pleia2: i'll add it to my phone for my drive today
[18:04] <pleia2> thank you :)
[18:04] <Pendulum> I'm listening now (although I'll admit that I was pretty put off by the 2nd e-mail they sent)
[18:05] <pleia2> yeah, I don't know what the deal is with that
[18:05] <pleia2> I am really uncertain what causes them to make the distinction (plenty of podcasts aren't on radio)
[18:06] <Pendulum> they don't like the reference to iPods
[18:06] <Pendulum> in fact, bleep out the word iPod
[18:06] <pleia2> ah
[18:06] <holstein> cool.i dont see a quick and easy way to download it... not sure if i'll have internet access in the car stable enough to stream it from soundcloud
[18:06] <pleia2> I'm also not thrilled that 3 guys use a women's name to send send emails, but that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish :)
[18:06] <Pendulum> I should mention that I'm almost 3 minutes in and the only thing I've gotten from it is the whole don't like iPods thing
[18:09] <Pendulum> you don't get to content until 4:50 out of a 30 minute thing. And it's not really easy to download
[18:10] <Pendulum> part of the differences between audiocasts and podcasts is supposedly the lack of XML tags (that I got from google, not listening to this)
[18:13] <pleia2> I guess I call everything that's a downloadable mp3 of spoken audio "show" a podcast
[18:14] <Pendulum> I do too
[18:14] <Pendulum> I only looked up what the difference was after that e-mail
[18:14] <Pendulum> but it doesn't seem to be the reasoning they use for the difference anyway
[18:14] <Pendulum> It seems to be some guys in the Vancouver LoCo
[18:35] <Pendulum> How much content do we care about? there's some content that's decent (discussing the pros of offline community), but I'm not sure that even half of the show was content vs. sound effects and silly noises and the hosts playing with words
[18:36] <Pendulum> also, it seems like it's very Vancouver-centric at the moment. It's hard to tell if that would change.
[18:37] <Pendulum> Personally, I feel like we could put a link under the "Audio & Video Content" section, but there's no real point in doing notes if they won't provide them
[18:38] <Pendulum> Also, there's no link to their e-mail address or anything other than a dropbox for feedback so I'm not sure how they think they can get their listeners to write notes unless they really just mean "the news team"
[18:39] <Pendulum> since there's no way to interact if you aren't someone who already knows the guys doing it
[18:41] <Pendulum> So I'm torn
[18:42] <Pendulum> there's no actual "they voilate CoC" or similar that would make me say that we should really not include them, but I have to say that I have no interest in ever listening again and that I don't think it's just lack of experience that is their problem
[19:38] <akgraner> pleia2, I'll listen as well
[19:40] <pleia2> thanks (and thanks for the feedback, Pendulum!)
