For some reason my Zoom H2 failed to record this interview. Based on past experience I\'m more inclined to blame the operator than the device so the audio is taken from the backup recording device, a Sansa Clip. As we say at HPR, any recording is better than no recording so any strange audio artefacts are a result of that.

\r\nThe next on our list of booths to visit was the Tor project at the Mozilla stand.\r\n
\r\n\r\nTor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.\r\n\r\n
\r\nNext we spoke to the Erik Josefsson about the need for as many people as possible to register as a Supporter of Free Software on the spfsug website. Please take some time to do that now.\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\nThe European Parliament Free Software User Group is an open community of staff, assistants and Members of the European Parliament, and of supporters from the free software community. Its goals are to:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n- Assist people interested in using free software in the European Parliament
\r\n- Drive adoption of free software in the European Parliament\'s information infrastructure
\r\n- Push for use of open standards, to ensure equal access for citizens using free software
\r\n- Work in cooperation with like-minded groups in Europe and around the world
\r\n
\r\nOver at the KDE booth, I managed to track down Jonathan Riddell about the KDE project. From Wikipedia:\r\n
\r\n\r\nKDE (/?ke?di??i?/) is an international free software community producing an integrated set of cross-platform applications designed to run on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Microsoft Windows, and OS X systems. It is known for its Plasma Desktop, a desktop environment provided as the default working environment on many Linux distributions, such as openSUSE, Mageia and Kubuntu and is default desktop environment on PC-BSD a BSD operating system.\r\n
\r\n\r\nThe goal of the community is to provide basic desktop functions and applications for daily needs as well as tools and documentation for developers to write stand-alone applications for the system. In this regard, the KDE project serves as an umbrella project for many standalone applications and smaller projects that are based on KDE technology. These include Calligra Suite, digiKam, Rekonq, K3b, and many others.
\r\n\r\nKDE software is based on the Qt framework. The original GPL version of this toolkit only existed for the X11 platform, but with the release of Qt 4, LGPL versions are available for all platforms. This allows KDE software based on Qt 4 to also be distributed to Microsoft Windows and OS X.\r\n
\r\nAbout KDE\r\n
\r\n\r\nThe KDE Community is an international technology team dedicated to creating a free and user-friendly computing experience, offering an advanced graphical desktop, a wide variety of applications for communication, work, education and entertainment and a platform to easily build new applications upon. We have a strong focus on finding innovative solutions to old and new problems, creating a vibrant atmosphere open for experimentation.\r\n\r\n
\r\nAbout Kubuntu\r\n
\r\n\r\nKubuntu is an operating system built by a worldwide team of expert developers. It contains all the applications you need: a web browser, an office suite, media apps, an instant messaging client and many more. Kubuntu is an open-source alternative to Windows and Office. \r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\nBumping into old friends is all part of the FOSDEM experience. Never one for missing an opertunity to turn a chat into an episode, I catch up with Paul Krischer, who tells us about his work with Drupal. Keep your diary clear for drupalcon Amsterdam, which will be held 29 SEP - 03 OCT.\r\n
\r\n\r\nDrupal is an open source content management platform powering millions of websites and applications. It�s built, used, and supported by an active and diverse community of people around the world.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\nAfter a long night \"discovering\" Brussels using the public transport system, we track down Brian King the European Community Builder for Mozilla. We talk about the Mozilla phone. \r\n
\r\n![\"\"](\"https://www.hackerpublicradio.org/eps/fosdem2014/t0082240.jpg\")
The mozilla team.
\r\nAt Mozilla, we�re a global community of technologists, thinkers and builders working together to keep the Internet alive and accessible, so people worldwide can be informed contributors and creators of the Web. We believe this act of human collaboration across an open platform is essential to individual growth and our collective future.\r\n\r\n
\r\nWe talk to Tobias M�ller who is on the board of directors for the GNOME project.\r\n
\r\n\r\nGNOME 3 is an easy and elegant way to use your computer. It is designed to put you in control and bring freedom to everybody. GNOME 3 is developed by the GNOME community, a diverse, international group of contributors that is supported by an independent, non-profit foundation.\r\n\r\n
\r\nStarting a series of RedHat interviews we interview Jim Perrin Governing Board member of the CentOS project.\r\n
\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https://www.hackerpublicradio.org/eps/fosdem2014/t0087872.jpg\")
The CentOS trio.
\r\nThe CentOS Linux distribution is a stable, predictable, manageable and reproduceable platform derived from the sources of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). We are now looking to expand on that by creating the resources needed by other communities to come together and be able to buld on the CentOS Linux platform. And today we start the process by delivering a clear governance model, increased transparency and access. In the coming weeks we aim to publish our own roadmap that includes variants of the core CentOS Linux.\r\n\r\n
\r\nDaniel Lobato and Doran Fedu help me understand what Foreman, oVirt, and OpenStack is all about.\r\n
\r\n\r\nForeman is an open source project that gives system administrators the power to easily automate repetitive tasks, quickly deploy applications, and proactively manage servers, on-premises or in the cloud. (From Wikipedia) Foreman (also known as The Foreman) is a complete life cycle systems management tool for physical and virtual servers with deep integration to configuration management software, specifically Puppet. The Foreman provides provisioning on bare-metal (through managed DHCP, DNS, TFTP, and PXE-based unattended installations), virtualization and cloud. The Foreman provides comprehensive, auditable interaction facilities including a web frontend, command line interface and robust, REST API.\r\n\r\n
\r\noVirt manages virtual machines, storage and virtualized networks. (From Wikipedia) oVirt is a free platform virtualization management web application community project started by Red Hat. oVirt is built on libvirt which could allow it to manage virtual machines hosted on any supported backend, including KVM, Xen and VirtualBox. However, oVirt is currently focused on KVM alone. oVirt is an open source software with backing from Red Hat and it is the base for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization.\r\n\r\n
\r\nOpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, all managed through a dashboard that gives administrators control while empowering their users to provision resources through a web interface.\r\n\r\n
\r\nCompleting (for the most part) the RedHat thread we head over to the Fedora Project booth and talk to Ji?� Eischmann and Jaroslav ?ezn�k. Ji?� is the chair of the Fedora Ambassador Steering Committee, and works for RedHat as a Community Manager. Jaroslav is the Fedora Program Manager.\r\n

Next a chat with an Evildragon aka Michael Mrozek who talks to us about the OpenPandora device, and what\'s coming next.
\nThe Pandora is a handheld game console designed to take advantage of existing open source software and to be a target for homebrew development. The first copy was released in May 2008 and others in May 2010, and is developed by OpenPandora, which is made up of former distributors and community members of the GP32 and GP2X handhelds. When announcing the system, the designers of Pandora stated that it would be more powerful than any handheld video game console that had yet existed. It includes several features that no handheld game consoles have previously had, making it a cross between a handheld game console and a subnotebook.\n
We stop by the Python booth and find out how to tame the beast.
\nPython is a programming language that lets you work more quickly and integrate your systems more effectively. You can learn to use Python and see almost immediate gains in productivity and lower maintenance costs.\n

The Jenkins mascot
From Wikipedia:
\nJenkins is an open source continuous integration tool written in Java. The project was forked from Hudson after a dispute with Oracle. Jenkins provides continuous integration services for software development. It is a server-based system running in a servlet container such as Apache Tomcat. It supports SCM tools including AccuRev, CVS, Subversion, Git, Mercurial, Perforce, Clearcase and RTC, and can execute Apache Ant and Apache Maven based projects as well as arbitrary shell scripts and Windows batch commands. The primary developer of Jenkins is Kohsuke Kawaguchi. Released under the MIT License, Jenkins is free software.\n
Over at the Puppet booth we talk to Eric Sorenson from PuppetLabs and Bert Van Vreckem from the Belgium Puppet user group.
\nPuppet Open Source is a flexible, customizable framework available under the Apache 2.0 license designed to help system administrators automate the many repetitive tasks they regularly perform. As a declarative, model-based approach to IT automation, it lets you define the desired state - or the “what” - of your infrastructure using the Puppet configuration language. Once these configurations are deployed, Puppet automatically installs the necessary packages and starts the related services, and then regularly enforces the desired state. In automating the mundane, Puppet frees you to work on more challenging projects with higher business impact. Puppet Open Source is the underlying technology for Puppet Enterprise and runs on all major Linux distributions, major Unix platforms like Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX, and Microsoft Windows.\n

Honza Kral from Elasticsearch
\r\nBy combining the massively popular Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana we have created an end-to-end stack that delivers actionable insights in real-time from almost any type of structured and unstructured data source. Built and supported by the engineers behind each of these open source products, the Elasticsearch ELK stack makes searching and analyzing data easier than ever before.\r\n\r\n
\r\nWe have a great conversation with Cor Nouws, who proves that you can earn a living supporting Free Software.\r\n

The hard working Libreoffice booth team
\r\nLibreOffice is the most widely used free open source office software. It is a community-driven project of The Document Foundation. LibreOffice is developed by professionals and by users, just like you, who believe in the principles of free software and in sharing their work with the world in a non-restrictive way. At the core of these principles is the promise of better-quality, highly-reliable and secure software that gives you greater flexibility at zero cost and no end-user lock-in. LibreOffice works natively with the Open Document Format, but also brings you support for by far the most file types for office-documents. It comes with support for over 80 languages and with a whole amount of other unique features to work with your texts, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings and data.\r\n\r\n
\r\nRogier Baig talks to us about the roll out of peer to peer networks.\r\n
\r\n\r\nguifi.net is a telecommunications network, is open, free and neutral because is built through a peer to peer agreement where everyone can join the network by providing his connection, and therefore, extending the network and gaining connectivity to all. guifi.net is owned by all who join. Is a collaborative project horizontally managed composed by individuals, organizations, enterprises, education institutions and universities and government offices. Is open so everyone can participate in same terms and conditions within the scope of the Wireless Commons.\r\n\r\n
\r\nJörg Steffens explains that bareos is not \"bare os\" but rather Bareos - Backup Archiving REcovery Open Sourced. \r\n
\r\n\r\nBareos is a 100% open source fork of the backup project from bacula.org. The fork is in development since late 2010, it has a lot of new features. The source has been published on github, licensed AGPLv3.\r\n\r\n
\r\nLights, Sensors, Switches, Dimmers and of course the obligatory RaspberryPi and a bread board. So what is this you ask ? Well Ralph Meijer, Edwin Mons and Joachim Lindborg explain the \"Internet of things\" and how they want to use the XMPP protocol to \"chat\" with your devices. The plan is simple: set-up each device so it can talk to XMPP, then you can use Jabber or any other XMPP client to talk to them.\r\n

The lads from the XMPP realtime lounge
\r\nThe Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is an open technology for real-time communication, which powers a wide range of applications including instant messaging, presence, multi-party chat, voice and video calls, collaboration, lightweight middleware, content syndication, and generalized routing of XML data. The technology pages provide more information about the various XMPP “building blocks”. Several books about Jabber/XMPP technologies are available, as well.\r\n\r\n
\r\nWe have a chat with Emil Ivov, the project lead of Jitsi.\r\n
\r\n\r\nJitsi (formerly SIP Communicator) is an audio/video and chat communicator that supports protocols such as SIP, XMPP/Jabber, AIM/ICQ, Windows Live, Yahoo! and many other useful features. Jitsi is Open Source / Free Software, and is available under the terms of the LGPL.\r\n\r\n

This interview with Julia Velkova and Konstantin Dimitriev will shed some light on free culture, open animation, Synfig Studio and the Russian animé being developed by the Morevna Project. Today, on Hacker Public Radio.
\n\"Support Open Animation projects! Because they cary a lot of potential for inovation.\"
-- Julia
We all know of the Blender Projects, like Elephants Dream, Big Buck Bunny and Sintel, but do you know of any more? Creating an animated movie is hard. Many enthusiasts start projects up that soon thereafter unfortunately die off.
\nThe state of this area of interest is what Julia Velkova has concentrated her research on. At FSCONS 2012 she gave the first part of a presentation, painting a picture of the state of matters, then followed by open animator Konstantin Dimitriev who introduced both the Morevna Project and the free and open source tool Synfig Studio.
\nAt this presentation Konstantin showed the premiere trailer for his animé movie \"The Beautiful Queen Marya Morevna\", a modernized version of a traditional Russian tale. Both the trailer and Julia and Konstantins presentations are available on YouTube.
\nKonstantin has used indiegogo to crowdfund a full time developer for Synfig Studio. He wrote: \"I am mentoring a full-time developer Ivan Mahonin, who is working on Synfig code. We have funded his work in previous months by running similar fundraising campaigns for October, November, December, January and February.\" So go help them with the rest of 2014 as well!
\nGo help the Morevna Project and Synfig Studio, follow both Julia and Konstantin on Twitter to get updates on this very interesting part of the free and open community that I suspect we sometimes might forget.

\nHi all! Today I\'m gonna be talking about my adventures in setting up\nPi-hole. This will be without screenshots, but instead in all text,\nsorry! Also this is all written as kind of an \"Aftermath\" story. This is\nbeing written after the fact, so this might be missing some details, but\nmost of it is there.
\nPi-hole is a DNS/DHCP server that\nallows for easy network-wide ad-blocking, along with all the nice\ncustomizations that come with being a DNS server, such as custom\ndomains.
\nThe first step was getting Pi-hole running. I did this using Docker\nCompose on a \"NAS\" which is honestly a full on server at this point. A\nquick copy/paste from
Of course, I wasn\'t satisfied just finishing there. I want automatic\nDNS setting for any device that connects to my network. Of course, I\ncould just set the DNS upstream in my
This was fine and great, but when I went to reboot my server, which I\ndo weekly, something bad happened. The interface for the server didn\'t\ncome up. This is a problem, since it\'s the DHCP server for my network,\nso without that working, the network was dead in the water. It can\'t\ngive out IP addresses. What\'s going on? I go ahead and access my server\ndirectly. No matter how hard I try, it can\'t connect to the interface.\nWhat\'s the big deal? Well this is pretty simple, and a question popped\nin my head that go me there. \"How does this server even get its IP\naddress?\" You see when I set up pi-hole, it just kept using the IP\naddress that the router gave it, which it was more than happy to use,\nbut the moment the router didn\'t have a DHCP server, the NAS didn\'t have\na way to get an IP address anymore. So what do you do then? The answer\nis pretty simple. Give the server a static IP. Make sure in the DHCP\nserver of pi-hole, you set a reservation in it for the server, then in\nNetworkManager, which I use, set it to have a static IP, and set its DNS\nto point to localhost. Perfect! This works like a charm!
\nOkay, phew! Crisis averted. Just some missing networking knowledge.\nSo what\'s next up on the list? Hmmm... Let\'s see... The default adlist\nis kinda small, let\'s go see if we can find some new adlists. Apparently\nthis is more difficult than you\'d think. A quick search on DDG only came\nup with an equivalent search in GitHub. Not useful! I have no idea the\ntrustworthiness and stability of these adlists. Let\'s see. Another\nsearch leads to a Reddit article that then links to a different list.\nBingo! An Adlist list. Exactly what I\nneeded. I went ahead and looked into these lists, and added a few of\nthem. Perfect!
\ndocker compose pull && docker compose up -d
\nOf course, this isn\'t it. I actually use an a/b update scheme, but you\nget the gist. Updates are taken care of, and just make sure you try and\nkeep the server up as long as possible, and keep downtime to a\nminimum.
After a while of running this, the necessity of having the NAS on the\nwhole time was starting to get frustrating. The answer there was to move\nit off the NAS. I did this by installing it on a Raspberry Pi 3B,\nrunning Arch Linux ARM. The setup was identical to before once I had\ngotten ALARM running.

They chose X11, and IMO that killed any chance of\nCoherent Unix being useful in a world of Linux and FreeBSD.
