On this show: Bruce Perens’s bid for the OSI board, Apple’s EULAs suck, a look at the Hardy beta, Wormux and more.

No April’s Fools joke, we indeed released a new show! We also now have an IRC channel: #linuxoutlaws on irc.freenode.net — drop in there and join us whenever you feel like it! Thanks to RedBrain for setting that up.

After mentioning the IRC channel, we talk about our plans for future listener feedback shows and corresponding poll at the forums. We do read one email from Russell Dickenson about Frugalware and their release names and answer his question (which actually many people asked) about how we came to recording a podcast, having never met each other in person.
