Title: Merry Christmas!

In this episode: In our last podcast of the year, we get together to talk about the Pirate Bay, new cloud stuff from Canonical (and an imminent new phone!) and getting a Raspberry Pi into to space. We’ve got some ace finds, a neuron and the Voice of the Masses.

What’s in the show:

• News:

  • The Pirate Bay is no longer. Fedora 21 has been released. Canonical has released Snappy Ubuntu Core. Raspberry Pis are going into proper space. Microsoft fights the US government for Irish data.

• Finds of the Fortnight:
  • Andrew:
    • There is a Mormon temple in Harrogate, Yorkshire.
    • LibreOffice is a recognised format for the UK’s new VAT reporting scheme.
    • The Raspberry Pi Robotics Challenge competition was rather good.
  • Mike:
    • What is the most expensive human-made thing?
    • Barbie couldn’t exist as a human being.
  • Graham:
    • Pydio 6.0 is another open source Dropbox file sharing and sync alternative.
    • wicd is a Curses interface and daemon for configuring wifi networks.
  • Ben:
    • Seafile is an alternative to OwnCloud.
    • Piwik is great for web logging, but GoAccess is a good companion for log file analysis.
• Vocalise Your Neurons:
Thanks for saving the day Tim! If you’d like your neurons spoken in our first podcast of 2015, email mike@linuxvoice.com. Thanks!
• Voice of the Masses: What was your FOSS highlight of 2014?
