Planning

 

We should start putting together a list of topics that will be covered in the show. Time gets past you pretty quickly when you're doing a creative project every week.

Ideally, I think we should have a rolling list of the major topics for the next 4-6 weeks of the show. Obviously we can shift gears if a major event happens, like Microsoft announcing that Windows 7 will be a fork of Ubuntu.

Some topics might take more than a week to put together. For example if we're reviewing some major program, we may need 2 or 3 weeks to fool around with it before we're ready to talk about it on-air.

An obvious topic for Show 1 is Elyssa. Another show could cover Ubuntu 8.10. OpenOffice.org 3 and Mandriva 2009 are also good possibilities.

Another topic I think would be useful, if we're trying to help people new to Linux and/or Mint, is equivalent programs. For example in Windows you used Word, in Linux you use OpenOffice.org. How do you load your podcasts to the handheld in Linux? (That's the one thing I still do on my XP box, everything else of mine is now in Linux.)

Have we named a leader for the podcast yet? Someone should be compiling these ideas into a list. Maybe in a Google document that everyone can see and contribute to.

We'll also need to arrange for a test, get the hosts online with Skype or whatever we'll be using and record a test session, make sure all our equipment is working and sounds good.

And since our time zones range from GMT+1 to GMT-8, finding a time to record could be quite a challenge.
