Open Source Gets Its Own TV Show

Posted by samzenpus on from the must-see dept.

ChocLinux writes "A South African organisation has produced what it claims is the first television series dedicated to promoting open source software. The first episode of the show included an interview with Richard Stallman, who founded the GNU project, and Robin Rowe, who runs the Linux Movies Group, which promotes the use of Linux in Hollywood."

    The Turkish Technology Channel had a weekly show on Linux; I did an interview there a while back when I was in Turkey. It seems to be now defunt, or at least I assume as much from this page which I can't actually read...

    It seems that it will eventually be on their web site (or maybe one day Bittorrent). So another http://www.slashdot.org/ article and they'll get every geek imagineable... at least the ones that care about OSS. "Go_Open will be broadcast on the South African television channel SABC 2 every Saturday at 5:30 p.m., but will soon be available for viewing on the Web site accompanying the series."
