> In the meantime we can do some brainstorming and prepare things up as

> 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.
