Note that this is LugRadio Live - it's an annual conference organised by the LugRadio podcast (http://www.lugradio.org), although a good number of LUG members from around the world will be attending (eg theres a good contingent going from Scotlug).
Mind you - you will meet good people and learn something new:) And there will probably be a large quantity of beer consumed.
Nice way to miss the point. LugRadio has a huge listenership worldwide, and their event is one of the few that hasn't been taken over by the men in suits. More to the point, they've attracted some of the biggest names in the community, and some really interesting projects.
If Linux isn't your thing, then feel free not to come.....
1. A suggestion that KDE had become overbloated and that maybe a lighter version was needed. The suggestion of a rewrite was shot down in flames on the show, and no mention was made of the language in which to do said rewrite.
2. The suggestion about using Python in the core of a DE was a sarcastic remark in a conversation about GNOME looking to support development in high-level languages.
Jono Bacon has been around in Linux-related media for ages; most Linux magazines have had work by him, and he has most recently released Linux Desktop Hacks which he co-edited with Nicholas Petreley - but you've probably never heard of him either.
Stuart Langridge (aka Aq) has been around the web development scene for a while; he wrote DHTML Utopia
Need I go on? I think not - all out of troll food.

Yeah - hopefully more videos will make it onto the web this year ;)

OK - for the record there was:
1. A suggestion that KDE had become overbloated and that maybe a lighter version was needed. The suggestion of a rewrite was shot down in flames on the show, and no mention was made of the language in which to do said rewrite.
2. The suggestion about using Python in the core of a DE was a sarcastic remark in a conversation about GNOME looking to support development in high-level languages.

Elite was the quintessential game for 8-bit computers in the 80s. It was a 3d space-trading game that wasted away many a youth.
eh what? They never suggested that the whole of KDE should be written in Python or C#.
I'll also think you'll find that all 4 presenters have contributed a significant amount into the Linux community before LUGRadio ever existed.
Honest answer? The Ubuntu LiveCD is a bit crap.
However, Ubuntu itself is a different matter. And it works fine on my Thinkpad T41
Don't forget that all 3 of these shows, plus a load of open music, are streamed 24 hours a day (4x a 6 hour block) on http://thelinuxlink.net:8000
They're computers are, so why shouldn't they be ;o)
