    Raspberry Pi With Eben Upton

    With tens of millions of units sold, it's no surprise the Raspberry Pi has become synonymous with the phenomenon of single-board computers, and it's also a great gateway into the world of open source. For this ep, we spoke to none other than co-founder and CEO Eben Upton about every Pi-related topic we could think of, including the Pi's origins in academia, early challenges designing the first board, adapting to pandemic supply constraints, selling such a successful device at low margins, and a lot more.

    Debian Linux With Jonathan Carter

    We couldn't do a podcast about open source without exploring a major Linux distribution, and there's hardly a more influential or enduring distro out there than Debian. So we're delighted to be joined on this episode by the current Debian Project Leader, Jonathan Carter, who spoke with us about a wide range of topics including progress on his goals since taking over the leadership role, why so many other distros are built on Debian, the revolutionary nature of dpkg and apt in the '90s, whether the testing release is appropriate for end users, our shared love of BeOS, what's going to happen when there are no more Toy Story characters, and more.

    MiSTer FPGA With José Tejada Gómez

    The MiSTer project is the most exciting thing going in classic video game emulation, and José Tejada Gómez--better known as jotego--is one of the developers at the forefront of this open-source effort to revive dozens of old game consoles and computers. José joins us for a fascinating chat about the ups and downs of programming FPGA chips, balancing his day job as an analog circuit designer, intellectual property in decades-old arcade hardware, using crowd funding to support open source work, the endless debate about emulation versus replication, and plenty more.

    Audacity With Martin Keary

    The classic open source audio editor Audacity has been around for over two decades, but the Muse Group and product head Martin Keary only came onto the project within the last two years. In this ep we talked to Martin about his extensive background in UX and how he's bringing that expertise to a project as old as Audacity, its recent rapid growth and future roadmap, the bumpy public relations issues that occurred around the Muse Group taking ownership of the project, and more.

    Samba With Jeremy Allison

    Jeremy Allison has been working in open source almost as long as "open source" has existed, largely on the Samba project that facilitates filesharing between Windows and the Unix world. In this ep we chatted with Jeremy not just about where Samba has been and where it's going, but also a wide range of other topics like the Silicon Valley Unix Wars, why it's getting harder to find good C coders, when SMBDirect is coming to the project, aging out of relevance in software development, and more.

On this ep we had a fascinating chat with creator and maintainer Gina Häußge about the project, covering topics like the work that goes into supporting endless printer models, transitioning from being the sole contributor on a project to managing contributors, doing open source work in Europe, why you shouldn't run your Raspberry Pi on an iPhone charger, and lots more.
