Last week's episode was a little heavier on the philosophical meanderings than usual, but this week the pendulum will swing the other way slightly as I focus on more technical topics. The planned agenda goes something like this:
- Developer Driven APIs: How the emerging world of openly developed, Free software mobile platforms presents a new kind of opportunity to application developers
- Memory Lane: when Fonts and video editors were problems for Free software .. and the awesome things we have now.
- PostgreSQL: Why it is the only Free software database I care about .. and the completely valid reasons why it isn't used more by desktop applications.
- Question Period: Ask the questions that are on your mind, and I'll respond with what is on mine!
The audience delivered up some terrific questions last week and it really made the episode, so I'm hoping that you come with questions and queries in hand again! If you can't be there tomorrow during the live recording, feel free to leave your questions in the comments below and I'll be sure to incorporate them into the show tomorrow.
See you then!

hi,
could you spend few words on this in your Q&A?

(my pc boots ubuntu unity in 18", while a barebone plasma session in arch takes 38": it's a fact that we need a snappier cold start)
tnx for answering :)
Nice to see that login exp isn't fallen into oblivion.
Hi Aaron,
One question I have is how can external Qt software projects use parts of the KDE Library without having a hard dependency?
Our software project runs on many platforms, which is why the inclusion of KDE related libraries must be optional, but it would be great to get the perks and some features of KDE built-in such as file dialogs etc. Similar to the kde extension in Libre Office for example.
Is there anything on Techbase that may be of help?
Enjoying the shows so far - very informative aswell as interesting!
@Luke Perry: that's a good idea for a show segment. i think i'll use it for one of the "three things" for the next show!
Thanks Aaron, that will be really helpful. I will be looking forward to the next show !
Thanks for doing these Aaron! For a future episode, wondering if you have any comments on Ubuntu Phone and tablet using SurfaceFlinger instead of Wayland or X11?
