Indeed, a programme that only dealt with Linux would need to be absurdly technical to maintain an audience.<br><br>Something that I haven't mentioned is that we'd also like to have the programme available as a podcast, after its live broadcast.<br>
<br>So far, I'd like to include the following elements in each show:<br>* FOSS/Linux news stories, breif disussion of the main stories, possibly.<br>* Certainly at least one major discussion regarding a FOSS/Linux thing, such as a topic like, um, license proliferation - for instance. Or possibly a certain application, language or technology. Or an in depth look at a single news story.. etc.<br>
* Review of a (likely obscure) FOSS application - or maybe a segment like Desert Island Disks (from season 1 of LUGRadio) where people can suggest a set of applications that they cannot live without, inc. breif discussion.<br>
* Showcase of between 1 and 3 (depending on time left) awesome "Free Culture" born music tracks (most likely forming the outro).<br><br>If possible, I'd like it so at least some of the show is accessible to a non-technical (or non-Linux, at least) audience and might even encourage certain memebers of that demographic to give FOSS/Linux a shot... I could do with ideas of how best to acheive that.. Possibly the format of the show should be news - accessible-content - too-geeky - outro...<br>
<br>Things like OpenOffice.org - Dosbox - Wine... Dualbooting/Ubuntu - the ideals behind Free Software, or an explaination of the Open Source development model, etc. can be talked about in the "accessible" part. Something to ease people in...<br>

I'm not sure how many people who aren't at all aware of FOSS would listen to a radio show about it, though. Perhaps if the radio's just on, they'd leave it on and hear Newark LUG's broadcast. Either way, there're a few projects that deserve talking about (Wine, Blender, Gimp, maybe DOSBox) and plenty more if it's FOSS as well as Linux, rather than just Linux. <br>

Hey folks,<br>
<br>
A few of you will be aware that I've looking into the prospect of producing a FLOSS/Linux programme for our local community radio station; the New 102.6FM Boundary Sound. I'm at the point where we're ready for ideas for a pilot, I've got some ideas myself - but what would you guys like to hear in a radio show like this?<br>
<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
Chris Hayes<br>
