This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 4233 for Wednesday, 23 October 2024.
|
||
|
|
Today's show is entitled, Off Camp 2024 Day 1.
|
||
|
|
It is hosted by Ken Fallon and is about 30 minutes long.
|
||
|
|
It carries a clean flag.
|
||
|
|
The summary is interviews from Day 1 of On Camp 2024 from Manchester.
|
||
|
|
Hi everybody, my name is Ken Fallon and you're listening to another episode of Hacker Public Radio.
|
||
|
|
As you well know, in HPR 4197, I recorded an interview with Gary Williams who took on
|
||
|
|
the monumental task of rebooting Hacker Camp, the free Libra open source software event held in Manchester.
|
||
|
|
Due to one thing in another, it had been five years since it had been put on and we went on a road show.
|
||
|
|
I kicked my strecs out of the car and I grabbed Dave from Manchester after a three-heart delay
|
||
|
|
and for our drive, which turned into a six-hour drive, we ended up in Manchester.
|
||
|
|
We had a fantastic week end and I'm looking forward to doing this again at some point.
|
||
|
|
So here are some of the interviews that are recorded at the event.
|
||
|
|
Sit back, relax and enjoy.
|
||
|
|
And we're at On Camp again and I'm over at the Open Rights Group booth and I'm talking to.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I'm James Baker with the Open Rights Group and I'm the kind of campaigns and advocacy manager here at Open Rights Group.
|
||
|
|
So can you tell the people at home what the Open Rights Group is?
|
||
|
|
Yeah, well we've been thinking about how you explain to someone and in some ways I kind of say a little bit like the UK EFF
|
||
|
|
in that we're a UK-based digital rights campaign.
|
||
|
|
We're not like partisan campaigns, we're people more difficult backgrounds.
|
||
|
|
For what brings us together is we're passionate about defending people's human rights in the digital age.
|
||
|
|
So we kind of do a mixture, we take people to call, we do push-com campaigning, we write reports.
|
||
|
|
And we try and hold both pick tech and government to account on how they misuse technology.
|
||
|
|
So what sort of actual, what do you stand for then?
|
||
|
|
What do we stand for? Well, I guess human rights in the digital age.
|
||
|
|
So we believe in rights to free expression online.
|
||
|
|
So I guess like the right to privacy is another right which is frequently abused online.
|
||
|
|
So that's on the main two rights but potentially like any human rights can be impacted by uses of technology and how kind of big tech or companies use our data against us.
|
||
|
|
Or potentially how kind of governments places under surveillance we use our information and data against us as well.
|
||
|
|
So we try and like to stand up for all of those digital rights but can also come into things like consumer law, platform power as well.
|
||
|
|
So how these big platforms like YouTube, their moderation policies, licensing issues, interoperability issues around different platforms.
|
||
|
|
So it's really like a huge scope of work that we're doing.
|
||
|
|
At the moment, we've got like a few particular campaigns we're focusing on.
|
||
|
|
We've got run around the home of some EV scheme which ties into all the issues around digitalization.
|
||
|
|
All of people's identities and the software that they're using to do that digitalization.
|
||
|
|
We've also got a project looking at things like pre-crime which is use of a particular pleatin software.
|
||
|
|
It's been deployed by various people. So it's across the UK at the moment.
|
||
|
|
So we're kind of trying to keep an eye on monitoring those software technologies, how they've been wide.
|
||
|
|
I mean, I sometimes like it's it quite scares me that no one in position of authority has read.
|
||
|
|
Fidip cadence, minority of all and scared of his stuff while I am.
|
||
|
|
And we've got a range of stuff from me like got here at my colleague Mariano.
|
||
|
|
We're working on issues around like AI, slurping up people's personal data on platform like Facebook at the moment.
|
||
|
|
So we've got in plain in with the ICO on that.
|
||
|
|
And we also do stuff around trying to hold like the regulators to account over their lack of enforcement on these things as well.
|
||
|
|
How has Brexit affected the coverage of like the GDPR and the digital right act?
|
||
|
|
Quite a lot because obviously like the UK is starting to diverge from the EU position on GDPR.
|
||
|
|
So you see at the moment something like the implementation of AI and how please get access to that data.
|
||
|
|
You've got the US model and then you've got a kind of European model.
|
||
|
|
And the UK is like, where does it sit?
|
||
|
|
And it's going to be interesting, obviously the last conservative government in the UK had a very clear direction that wanted to move more in favour of just allowing companies to do what they want with data.
|
||
|
|
We're yet to really clearly see where this new Labour government is going to take things but we know.
|
||
|
|
I think October 24th they're going to be releasing a new data protection bill.
|
||
|
|
So we'll see by the content of that bill really what that new direction is.
|
||
|
|
But I mean we're keen to like get good regulation regulation.
|
||
|
|
It's fair, but also you know allows people to do things with technology.
|
||
|
|
We don't want to stop people doing something with technology.
|
||
|
|
There has to be done with proper consent people that respects their data as well.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, that makes sense.
|
||
|
|
So there's a lot of stuff there on your shopping list.
|
||
|
|
How can you afford to pay that when you come to the checkout?
|
||
|
|
How can we afford to do everything we can?
|
||
|
|
Well, that's the sad reality is like there's even more we'd love to do.
|
||
|
|
I could like pivot into a bit of the sponsor here saying they're like,
|
||
|
|
if you do care about yourself, you are a menstrual organisation and so do like get involved, give us some money, please give us the money.
|
||
|
|
But no, seriously, like you can join as a member and have like a say in our direction as well.
|
||
|
|
So if you do join us, you get to kind of have a say in the direction of things we're in campaign about.
|
||
|
|
So a lot of our funding comes from that.
|
||
|
|
We also have some corporate sponsors, some companies out there who believe in these kind of values as well.
|
||
|
|
And because it's cool, good supporters.
|
||
|
|
And occasionally we get grants from different organisations to work on different jets.
|
||
|
|
So thanks a bit, you know, you put like an ice stock and stuff.
|
||
|
|
We've given us some funding to work on topics like encryption as well.
|
||
|
|
So if you do get funding grants, times to work.
|
||
|
|
It's definitely something that we have discussed on the HR privacy and security series.
|
||
|
|
So it's great to see you here.
|
||
|
|
And how has the response been so far?
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I mean, I think like an environment like this, you're talking to people who are aware.
|
||
|
|
And a lot of people have heard about us.
|
||
|
|
And that's fantastic.
|
||
|
|
Just like touching base of a lot of our supporters and members.
|
||
|
|
And this is kind of informing people what the latest digital rights issues are.
|
||
|
|
So always love to come along to an event like op camp.
|
||
|
|
And if somebody wanted to learn more about your project, where would they go?
|
||
|
|
Oh, well, we try and like broadcast the most social media platforms.
|
||
|
|
So probably like if you're on a social media platform,
|
||
|
|
find those followers of like Macedon on Reddit.
|
||
|
|
Sadly, we're on TikTok.
|
||
|
|
But we have to go where people, where the masses are to communicate people.
|
||
|
|
Or like if you just prefer using emails like that, you can just sign up to email us and get news like that.
|
||
|
|
Or you can kind of look us up on our website.
|
||
|
|
Don't be going to me.
|
||
|
|
Don't overright scoot.
|
||
|
|
Perfect. Thank you very much for taking the time and enjoy the rest of the show.
|
||
|
|
Okay, thanks now.
|
||
|
|
Walking around here at the exhibition in Alcamp.
|
||
|
|
And I'm over at the United Tech and Allied workers booth.
|
||
|
|
And I'm talking to John Chadfield and also around Cohen.
|
||
|
|
And tell us guys, what is this?
|
||
|
|
Why are you here?
|
||
|
|
So we're the union for tech workers quite simply.
|
||
|
|
We really enjoy sponsoring and supporting grassroots events like Alcamp.
|
||
|
|
We've got a lot of our members are contributors in part of the FOS community.
|
||
|
|
So it made sense for us to be here in sponsor a key UK presence like Alcamp.
|
||
|
|
And when you say union, what do you mean a federation of corporations or something?
|
||
|
|
Oh, we mean a trade union.
|
||
|
|
So we're a body of workers getting together collecting big to improve their rights in the workplace and outside the workplace.
|
||
|
|
And trade unions have a big cornerstone part civic society.
|
||
|
|
And we get involved in stuff inside the workplace.
|
||
|
|
Like sporting community events like this.
|
||
|
|
But usually tech workers are not in unions.
|
||
|
|
Surely they're not allowed to join union.
|
||
|
|
That's true. In this country, the unions and tech industry kind of passed each other like ships in the night.
|
||
|
|
One growing well with the other one was fighting for their lives.
|
||
|
|
But yeah, we've been around for about four years.
|
||
|
|
Tech workers, either union, just like anyone else.
|
||
|
|
We see the bread and butter issues with us and tech employers, you know, anything from inshification of terms and conditions to de-skilling, to sexual harassment, gender imbalance in pain.
|
||
|
|
Like it all exists in tech as well.
|
||
|
|
And unions are just as valid here as they are everywhere else.
|
||
|
|
I'm sure you will have no issues with AI or anything.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, we're opinionated.
|
||
|
|
We're opinionated on AI, I think.
|
||
|
|
Mostly it's just we seem to be uniquely credible source for the media to sort of demystify some of the hype curve stuff that's out there.
|
||
|
|
It's all marketing, you know, generally by the grifting community.
|
||
|
|
And unions can be a counterfoil to that, just like the FOS community is as well.
|
||
|
|
And we've got a lot of, yeah, a lot of sitwires is there, I think.
|
||
|
|
So you are affiliated with any of the main unions in the UK?
|
||
|
|
We are indeed, we're part of the communication workers union.
|
||
|
|
So we've got the posties and role male people and you go to the BT engineers, all the telecoms.
|
||
|
|
And now you've got us and tech.
|
||
|
|
Fantastic.
|
||
|
|
And what are they say I want to join the union?
|
||
|
|
Do I need to announce that to anybody?
|
||
|
|
Or is it private?
|
||
|
|
How would we go about doing that?
|
||
|
|
I want to join.
|
||
|
|
Well, union membership is confidential.
|
||
|
|
You don't have to tell anybody in your company.
|
||
|
|
The union will never tell anybody in your company about your membership status.
|
||
|
|
Unless you ask us to, like if you invite a rep for a disciplinary or grievance meeting.
|
||
|
|
And you can just join by going to Utah.tech for last forward slash join and fill out the form there.
|
||
|
|
It's one of the cheaper unions around, especially for tech workers.
|
||
|
|
And how much is that?
|
||
|
|
It maxes out at about 8 pounds 60 a month if you're working full time at the moment.
|
||
|
|
So about a Raspberry Pi for a year.
|
||
|
|
So many of that.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Python London.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Okay.
|
||
|
|
Fantastic stuff.
|
||
|
|
And have you been active at all?
|
||
|
|
Have you had any achievements?
|
||
|
|
Load achievements.
|
||
|
|
We are organizing with Apple retail work as an Apple stores.
|
||
|
|
Tiktok Condon moderators is the current hot one.
|
||
|
|
People at the Turing Institute are currently organizing against redundancies.
|
||
|
|
Monzo.
|
||
|
|
Monzo.
|
||
|
|
Dale.
|
||
|
|
Where else are we?
|
||
|
|
Microsoft.
|
||
|
|
Google's a big one.
|
||
|
|
Well, over the place.
|
||
|
|
Well, one of our, one of our wins that we've had replicated around lots of workplaces.
|
||
|
|
Lots of this and to be interested in is like mandatory returns to office policies.
|
||
|
|
And we've managed to successfully overturn those many time they've come up for our members.
|
||
|
|
So yeah, there was power in the union.
|
||
|
|
Thank you very much, gentlemen.
|
||
|
|
I'd appreciate to be here and to hopefully we'll catch you again.
|
||
|
|
Thanks very much, cheers.
|
||
|
|
Thank you.
|
||
|
|
Have a good day.
|
||
|
|
You too, bye.
|
||
|
|
And we're down here at another booth.
|
||
|
|
And I'm looking at a brother at a brother.
|
||
|
|
He's sold in this machine.
|
||
|
|
Well, let's actually find out who it is.
|
||
|
|
Hi.
|
||
|
|
Who am I talking to?
|
||
|
|
Margaret Lowell.
|
||
|
|
I'm from the University of Warwick.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
And this is some of the outreach work I do at the University of Warwick.
|
||
|
|
I'm a member of academic staff.
|
||
|
|
So I also teach.
|
||
|
|
But we support schools where maybe they just need a little bit of a helping hand to inspire the young people.
|
||
|
|
Okay.
|
||
|
|
So now I was not expecting when I walked in to find a, this is a sewing machine.
|
||
|
|
Browing embroidery.
|
||
|
|
This is an embroidery machine.
|
||
|
|
It looks like a sewing machine with a like your old type of singer sewing machine with the wheel.
|
||
|
|
But it's very electronic.
|
||
|
|
It's got a sort of round frame.
|
||
|
|
Frame.
|
||
|
|
It would be like a for half of a for a five frame that you presumably clamped the 1210.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
So.
|
||
|
|
So.
|
||
|
|
This is.
|
||
|
|
So Margaret is now clamping the thing up, clamping the cloth in.
|
||
|
|
Put a piece of cloth underneath the sewing machine.
|
||
|
|
Lock the sewing machine in position.
|
||
|
|
And it's an embroidering machine.
|
||
|
|
It's probably not knowing you so much.
|
||
|
|
That's a sewing machine.
|
||
|
|
But now we have an embroidering machine.
|
||
|
|
And there's a touch panel display in the front of this embroidering machine.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
So what we use this for.
|
||
|
|
We're using softwikled tactile stitch.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
People tend to be familiar with tactile graphics.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
And it's like that.
|
||
|
|
You're instructing a turtle to move and to turn.
|
||
|
|
Wherever the turtle goes, we can stitch that pattern.
|
||
|
|
So in turtle graphics, that was the first thing I did way back in the day in computer.
|
||
|
|
So you go north two steps.
|
||
|
|
You go east two steps.
|
||
|
|
You go south two steps.
|
||
|
|
And you go west two steps.
|
||
|
|
So you just met a square.
|
||
|
|
So you're doing something similar to that, but with embroidery.
|
||
|
|
Yes, that is.
|
||
|
|
We specify the number of degrees.
|
||
|
|
So you go forward.
|
||
|
|
So many steps.
|
||
|
|
You turn right.
|
||
|
|
I'm sorry.
|
||
|
|
You turn right.
|
||
|
|
90 degrees.
|
||
|
|
Or a very in a 90 degrees.
|
||
|
|
Okay.
|
||
|
|
So you specify.
|
||
|
|
This links very closely to the key stage two curriculum in primary schoolness.
|
||
|
|
But what is that?
|
||
|
|
What's I'm not familiar with it.
|
||
|
|
Then we have a lot of US SNRS and listeners from all the countries.
|
||
|
|
Okay.
|
||
|
|
The key stage two curriculum is where the government is specified.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
What content should be in children in the last two years of primary school,
|
||
|
|
which is children aged 9 to 11.
|
||
|
|
Okay.
|
||
|
|
So this touches on that curriculum in terms of computing.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Maths because they need to know a functional math.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
And also designing technology.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
So it makes a very interested cross curriculum.
|
||
|
|
What are your projects?
|
||
|
|
And your display here for people who can't see it that will be a link in the show notes.
|
||
|
|
I'm looking at some geometric patterns.
|
||
|
|
Something like an audio wavefile.
|
||
|
|
There's a flower.
|
||
|
|
Surrounded by a square.
|
||
|
|
Something that you might get on one of those, what do you value the extra?
|
||
|
|
Spyrograph.
|
||
|
|
It's Spyrograph.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
And then all sorts of different colors and stuff.
|
||
|
|
So that is fantastic.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
I tend to use felt because felt is very, very tolerant.
|
||
|
|
So when children make patterns, it tends to enable them to.
|
||
|
|
We don't worry too much about how many stitches are in an area.
|
||
|
|
If you were to do that with a more sensitive fabric, you'd create holes in the fabric.
|
||
|
|
So I tend to use felt because children can choose the color.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
This machine has only got one needle so we can only have one color at one time.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
So if the machine is the bottleneck in our whole process.
|
||
|
|
So if I'm working with a class of 30 children, I keep the thread the same.
|
||
|
|
They can choose different colored felts and we stitch their individual patterns in front of them.
|
||
|
|
So they go from a virtual design to a physical tangible object.
|
||
|
|
And I'm describing this as a different type of physical computer.
|
||
|
|
Fantastic.
|
||
|
|
And where can people find more information about this if they're interested?
|
||
|
|
So there is a turtle stitch website which was created by Andrea Mayer.
|
||
|
|
And that's www.turtlestitch.org.
|
||
|
|
Or if people wanted resources, we do a lot of teacher training at Warwick.
|
||
|
|
It would be warwick.ac.uk forward slash turtle stitch.
|
||
|
|
I run regular training sessions for teachers.
|
||
|
|
Every two months I run an online session.
|
||
|
|
So if people are interested, if they go to that URL, they can register their interest.
|
||
|
|
But the materials are all free, little videos and things like that for people to use.
|
||
|
|
Fantastic.
|
||
|
|
Thank you very much for taking the time and enjoy the rest of the show.
|
||
|
|
Thank you very much.
|
||
|
|
Hi guys, we're back.
|
||
|
|
It's on count 24 and we've just come out of the Toxjam podcast.
|
||
|
|
On your hands?
|
||
|
|
Andrew, also known as Magnetwood.
|
||
|
|
Kaby?
|
||
|
|
Also known as Kaby?
|
||
|
|
Also known as Kaby, yes, I'm Kaby, blah blah blah.
|
||
|
|
And I'm out.
|
||
|
|
So you just gave a presentation on false.
|
||
|
|
We just did a first ever.
|
||
|
|
This is the first time we've ever made up in the flesh.
|
||
|
|
And we decided and thought, let's try and actually do a live show.
|
||
|
|
Which we were not sure how it was going to work.
|
||
|
|
But we seem to get good feedback then.
|
||
|
|
What is Toxjam?
|
||
|
|
Toxjam's podcast is mainly about open source, small and open source projects.
|
||
|
|
Stuff that maybe doesn't get an awful lot of price for coverage.
|
||
|
|
And maybe doesn't even get when that were known in the geeky community itself.
|
||
|
|
But we want to give them a wee bit of publicity and also to mix that with a bit of music.
|
||
|
|
Creative Commons, which I think is where.
|
||
|
|
So who picks the music?
|
||
|
|
The combination of us.
|
||
|
|
We all pick the music.
|
||
|
|
We all pick different tracks.
|
||
|
|
Okay.
|
||
|
|
So is there anything.
|
||
|
|
What types of license is the show released under?
|
||
|
|
Creative Commons by AC.
|
||
|
|
And the content is released under Creative Commons.
|
||
|
|
That much.
|
||
|
|
Be sure to share a like.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
The music within it.
|
||
|
|
We always include a link to the actually every track so that you can one check the actual license.
|
||
|
|
And how long has the show been running?
|
||
|
|
Well, I think it's for 12 years now.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
It's what can be started.
|
||
|
|
So he was so originally just cavey.
|
||
|
|
And then a few years into it.
|
||
|
|
I came alone.
|
||
|
|
And then Dave was added.
|
||
|
|
And then most recently in the last year.
|
||
|
|
So I think it's 12 years.
|
||
|
|
There's 111 episodes.
|
||
|
|
111 episodes.
|
||
|
|
111.
|
||
|
|
111 episodes.
|
||
|
|
112.
|
||
|
|
Perhaps we're good in live when we just did.
|
||
|
|
Was that 111?
|
||
|
|
I'm sorry.
|
||
|
|
111.
|
||
|
|
I don't know.
|
||
|
|
I don't know.
|
||
|
|
I don't know.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
We don't know.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
We don't know.
|
||
|
|
We should ask our.
|
||
|
|
I can't count.
|
||
|
|
We should ask Peter Panterson because he.
|
||
|
|
He's super fan.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
So it actually started.
|
||
|
|
So it actually started.
|
||
|
|
One to guys.
|
||
|
|
They've known each other.
|
||
|
|
How was the train destroying that podcast?
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
It was good.
|
||
|
|
It was kind of a rule.
|
||
|
|
If you can only go on the show.
|
||
|
|
I basically.
|
||
|
|
You're fucking.
|
||
|
|
They did.
|
||
|
|
We do a Christmas special.
|
||
|
|
I'm really looking forward to doing this.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
With a Christmas geeks for Chris.
|
||
|
|
Geeks for Chris.
|
||
|
|
Geeks for Chris.
|
||
|
|
Geeks for Chris.
|
||
|
|
Geeks for Chris.
|
||
|
|
Geeks for Chris.
|
||
|
|
Geeks for Chris.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Well, basically we give different pride ranges.
|
||
|
|
And you have to choose a light.
|
||
|
|
What you'd like to receive for that kind of price.
|
||
|
|
So Dave did one last year on the little game.
|
||
|
|
Vice.
|
||
|
|
And I went and kind of reviewed it.
|
||
|
|
And then I haven't left since.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
You're one of those.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
My.
|
||
|
|
My story is exactly the same as that.
|
||
|
|
I came on.
|
||
|
|
I think it was actually to cover you.
|
||
|
|
You went around for a week.
|
||
|
|
And then they invited.
|
||
|
|
Do you want to come in and stand in for me?
|
||
|
|
And then I think I then had a week.
|
||
|
|
A month off.
|
||
|
|
And then they said.
|
||
|
|
Oh, you coming back again.
|
||
|
|
I said, oh, you won't be able to.
|
||
|
|
It's a guest.
|
||
|
|
No.
|
||
|
|
No.
|
||
|
|
You will want to bounce.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Exactly.
|
||
|
|
It's all either.
|
||
|
|
I did a really good job.
|
||
|
|
I managed to fool them.
|
||
|
|
It's a thing that I was sort of worthwhile.
|
||
|
|
But they've not been able to get rid of any sense.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
There's one thing I didn't notice about today's show.
|
||
|
|
That it was a smidge and shorter.
|
||
|
|
That was obviously the times and streets.
|
||
|
|
And pulled the bomb fitting in a fixed slot.
|
||
|
|
And you're more freedom.
|
||
|
|
And it might.
|
||
|
|
It may also have been that there was no alcohol.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
Of course.
|
||
|
|
There was a lack of beer.
|
||
|
|
So first ever dry or touch jumps.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Start doing this from one to one part.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
And do you have like a never considered separate fee for beers and the.
|
||
|
|
We keep talking about this and it never actually.
|
||
|
|
It's a big idea.
|
||
|
|
We do this all the time.
|
||
|
|
We need to have a beer.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
We should do.
|
||
|
|
But we do.
|
||
|
|
We do discuss the beers.
|
||
|
|
But they have to think of out as parts of the uncut feed rather than the family friendly.
|
||
|
|
Finally.
|
||
|
|
Finally show.
|
||
|
|
But beer is a.
|
||
|
|
Oh, careful.
|
||
|
|
How I say.
|
||
|
|
It's an important part of the overall experience.
|
||
|
|
Or they're having said that there is one amongst us who does not mean beers.
|
||
|
|
No.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Um, I'm a mate.
|
||
|
|
You should ask their opinion.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
I don't drink some of that.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
And I do drink.
|
||
|
|
And I do bring the alcohol free beer tonight.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
I do.
|
||
|
|
I do.
|
||
|
|
You know me.
|
||
|
|
You know me.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
We have our own wine.
|
||
|
|
Which we do.
|
||
|
|
Um,
|
||
|
|
we do on telegram.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
We, we have.
|
||
|
|
I know we come up with a alcohol free-bill or a very low alcohol free-bill.
|
||
|
|
And tell us now a little bit more about their online protocol.
|
||
|
|
So what?
|
||
|
|
What is the portfolio for those of you who have a.
|
||
|
|
Having my greater from Ireland where alcohol is a normal thing.
|
||
|
|
This is going on.
|
||
|
|
You're asking you.
|
||
|
|
I'm going normally.
|
||
|
|
I'm not looking.
|
||
|
|
I'm trying to explain it to somebody who doesn't know what a football is.
|
||
|
|
It seems like a very strange thing.
|
||
|
|
So, what's up, Upcrawl?
|
||
|
|
Well, it is going from a place where you drink alcohol and you go from one pub
|
||
|
|
within the UK, it's called a pub, isn't it?
|
||
|
|
And you go in the public house, it's short for pub.
|
||
|
|
And you go from one pub, I have a beer, and then you go to another pub,
|
||
|
|
and I have another beer, and it's basically where you're just getting up and
|
||
|
|
measing up the drink.
|
||
|
|
I haven't actually been to the official public hall, which I really did in person,
|
||
|
|
which he didn't glass go normally.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, it was a big glass for you.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, but when obviously you had the hit with the virus and everything stopped,
|
||
|
|
we went online, did it differently.
|
||
|
|
So we then, come online, we started using Gitsy, but we knew I'd do it on
|
||
|
|
Telegram, where we all come along, and we just sit and drink.
|
||
|
|
You don't have to drink, you can bring up me, I bring my calico,
|
||
|
|
whatever, cup of tea, and we're sitting and there's chat about anything.
|
||
|
|
We have people from all over the world come.
|
||
|
|
We have Peter come from, or Peter and George, we come from America.
|
||
|
|
What was the guy's name for Nezily and he come along?
|
||
|
|
I'm sorry, sorry.
|
||
|
|
I just came to the first one, I think he came to the second one.
|
||
|
|
I think he's already there a couple of times, you've not seen him since, but yeah.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, we have from, yeah, Nezily, that's what it is.
|
||
|
|
And is the pub crawl mostly, you guys talking or is it just like that?
|
||
|
|
No, everyone can talk.
|
||
|
|
It's the opposite.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, we don't know, we don't even get an agent when we get George and
|
||
|
|
we don't get an agent when we don't get a word network, so.
|
||
|
|
But the good thing about it is when we start six o'clock UK time,
|
||
|
|
which I appreciate to many early for people like, well, for robots,
|
||
|
|
six o'clock, seven o'clock in the morning, but for those in the US,
|
||
|
|
they tend to, and that's an important, they will tend to go to,
|
||
|
|
they'll tend to come on a quiet later.
|
||
|
|
So, I mean, you don't have to be on for the whole thing.
|
||
|
|
We start with six until whenever.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, six PM UK time come whenever and it's again,
|
||
|
|
you don't have to be on for the whole time.
|
||
|
|
You can drop in, drop out.
|
||
|
|
So, yeah, it's a good time and it tends to be, to be honest,
|
||
|
|
it's almost, it is almost like a many on count in the sense in that it's,
|
||
|
|
it's most, most of them on their gigs very much.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, you know, see, they talk so good.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, it's a very informal and it's just, it's just like going to the pub,
|
||
|
|
except when it's time to go to bed,
|
||
|
|
you just post your laptop and go to bed and it's no,
|
||
|
|
no staggering hope falling in the back.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, just imagine going through the motions of getting the taxi
|
||
|
|
and you're going to be in the corner and turn.
|
||
|
|
And after 12 years or you're not just in a bit exhausted or tired too much,
|
||
|
|
especially you, for example, brother,
|
||
|
|
I'm talking about the pub,
|
||
|
|
I'm talking about the podcasting.
|
||
|
|
The pub talk, it talks jam podcasts.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, and it's a lot of work.
|
||
|
|
There's the expectation to let you follow a schedule,
|
||
|
|
so that you release it and you're always your happy soul puns.
|
||
|
|
You know, sometimes one of the things that we do ensure on this,
|
||
|
|
that we do share the workload.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
So although Kenny does the majority of the work,
|
||
|
|
actually putting the show together, editing and the structure and the publishing,
|
||
|
|
and I do some of the, I clean the audio before he gets put into editing.
|
||
|
|
Al, that had to do, sorry, does the, you're out.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, does the show notes?
|
||
|
|
So that's something that's just actually worried about.
|
||
|
|
Elsefair Lee Lou, we haven't allocated him a task yet.
|
||
|
|
He just looks there, looks, looks pretty.
|
||
|
|
But I think in terms of, of exhaustion,
|
||
|
|
I could say, for myself, I couldn't give him no.
|
||
|
|
This is something that I think we all in the show too.
|
||
|
|
And it's, it's all,
|
||
|
|
we don't have a rigid show.
|
||
|
|
We tend to release months later.
|
||
|
|
There are times we'll go through the entire summer and not release
|
||
|
|
a show.
|
||
|
|
There are times when we will maybe do two shows in a single month.
|
||
|
|
It's whatever works and whatever the surface does.
|
||
|
|
So it's fun.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, it's a fun thing.
|
||
|
|
And we all generally get only for the point we all get in our separate
|
||
|
|
little and more than Google.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, it's actually some people are forward to.
|
||
|
|
It's not a chore.
|
||
|
|
Yes.
|
||
|
|
It's just, it's a fun language that public and pal,
|
||
|
|
I accept your 12th year bonus.
|
||
|
|
He nerdy felt, actually.
|
||
|
|
So, to be honest, that's what I would say with any of you.
|
||
|
|
What you said, they give a starter podcast.
|
||
|
|
Only do it, it's fun.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, maybe someone don't.
|
||
|
|
It's not.
|
||
|
|
It's not going to work.
|
||
|
|
And you're usually by mistake.
|
||
|
|
And I mean, I think that's one thing that has kept us going for so long.
|
||
|
|
We enjoyed.
|
||
|
|
I did take a bit of, I just went,
|
||
|
|
it was just me and that's when I pulled Andrew and actually,
|
||
|
|
to say, come on, I need my back side being kicked here.
|
||
|
|
It was always something else to do.
|
||
|
|
Yes, yeah.
|
||
|
|
But the whole thing is, I didn't have the social aspect.
|
||
|
|
There was no meetup with myself.
|
||
|
|
It was, it was another chore too.
|
||
|
|
I would actually see it again.
|
||
|
|
One, it's going to be fun.
|
||
|
|
And two, I would say, get somebody out with you.
|
||
|
|
Even if they don't want to talk, just be there,
|
||
|
|
be making a social aid.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, that's it.
|
||
|
|
I mean, obviously, then the show lots of stuff.
|
||
|
|
Do you take suggestions for, for tunes?
|
||
|
|
And do you take any suggestions for,
|
||
|
|
I just realized, almost,
|
||
|
|
you have to be free to vote as well.
|
||
|
|
Music comes from.
|
||
|
|
You don't talk outside of me again.
|
||
|
|
But redundant, if I suggest to them,
|
||
|
|
but not absolutely loopy.
|
||
|
|
Yes, please do.
|
||
|
|
How do you love actually get me to do this?
|
||
|
|
How come somebody came up to us after the talk and gave us a suggestion,
|
||
|
|
and he said he didn't put his hand up,
|
||
|
|
and he wanted to give us the extra.
|
||
|
|
So, yeah, absolutely.
|
||
|
|
So just email in,
|
||
|
|
the easiest one,
|
||
|
|
Tux-Tram, that.
|
||
|
|
Tux-Tram, I don't understand.
|
||
|
|
Listen, guys, I'm holding you up from your dinner.
|
||
|
|
Thank you very much.
|
||
|
|
It was a great, great to be on there.
|
||
|
|
Thank you for the child God for HGR
|
||
|
|
and tune in tomorrow for the only exciting episode.
|
||
|
|
Thank you.
|
||
|
|
Thank you.
|
||
|
|
Thank you very much.
|
||
|
|
Thank you very much.
|
||
|
|
Bye.
|
||
|
|
Bye.
|
||
|
|
Join us now and share this off there.
|
||
|
|
I'm recording.
|
||
|
|
And we're here at UnCamp,
|
||
|
|
and we're talking to an old friend of the show.
|
||
|
|
Hi.
|
||
|
|
Hi, this is George at,
|
||
|
|
or at Geospart.
|
||
|
|
And it's been a while,
|
||
|
|
but you're a feature of UnCamp.
|
||
|
|
What brings you here all the time?
|
||
|
|
Mostly the friends in some of the talks,
|
||
|
|
but the people,
|
||
|
|
the people are the main thing I come here for.
|
||
|
|
It's a different sort of event.
|
||
|
|
Have you been to other events?
|
||
|
|
I was joking.
|
||
|
|
What makes UnCamp different, do you think?
|
||
|
|
UnCamp is smaller,
|
||
|
|
and I think it's more personable.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
You get to know the people,
|
||
|
|
where if you go to these bigger ones,
|
||
|
|
there's thousands of people,
|
||
|
|
you might need to stick or hunting.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Sticker hunting, yeah.
|
||
|
|
So there's not,
|
||
|
|
it's smaller,
|
||
|
|
and I get to know more and more people,
|
||
|
|
and I've been coming since 2011,
|
||
|
|
and I don't know what's happening.
|
||
|
|
Do you fly in from the States?
|
||
|
|
I do.
|
||
|
|
I do fly in from the States.
|
||
|
|
I started when I lived in Charlottes.
|
||
|
|
I'd fly in there.
|
||
|
|
Now I fly in from Jacksonville,
|
||
|
|
but they're not a hub.
|
||
|
|
So most of the places I have to leave
|
||
|
|
to fly out in New York or Philly.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
|

|
|
Is that not rather expensive?
|
||
|
|
It's, it's a astronomically expensive, yes.
|
||
|
|
Yes it is.
|
||
|
|
So in essence,
|
||
|
|
me buying the ticket to come here
|
||
|
|
is just the small part of the cause.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
||
|
|
Well, it's great to see it.
|
||
|
|
Any talks that you've been to,
|
||
|
|
that you think anything memorable,
|
||
|
|
that you think people should have been?
|
||
|
|
Just the one I was in,
|
||
|
|
and that was obvious.
|
||
|
|
Nothing else.
|
||
|
|
All the other stuff is bad.
|
||
|
|
No, I'm just kidding.
|
||
|
|
There are some really good, good talks in here.
|
||
|
|
I mean, they're all memorable.
|
||
|
|
This year, because I didn't volunteer,
|
||
|
|
I went to Moore, so I saw Moore,
|
||
|
|
and I enjoyed, and you know,
|
||
|
|
I learned some stuff, but they were all good.
|
||
|
|
I'm not going to point one out
|
||
|
|
because then to be like,
|
||
|
|
well, you want to mine is this?
|
||
|
|
No, no, it's fantastic.
|
||
|
|
Do you have a good time to see pointing to?
|
||
|
|
Okay, well, I brought my sister with me.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, her name is Lisa,
|
||
|
|
and she's, you know, never been.
|
||
|
|
So, what was you, what did you like about it?
|
||
|
|
I'm sure it was like framed up as a thing.
|
||
|
|
Shall we go to the UK?
|
||
|
|
And no, no, actually,
|
||
|
|
she knew exactly what she's adding in.
|
||
|
|
I knew what I was getting.
|
||
|
|
I was visiting friends and going to an event.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
||
|
|
And, um,
|
||
|
|
please, do you want to come over and see?
|
||
|
|
No, no, no.
|
||
|
|
She does not, she's camera-slash mic shy,
|
||
|
|
so have you been to similar events in the US?
|
||
|
|
How does it help?
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I've been Southern Southeast Linux.
|
||
|
|
I've been to, um,
|
||
|
|
I've been to a bunch of virtual ones
|
||
|
|
because then it had to end like,
|
||
|
|
thank you, Khan and, um,
|
||
|
|
MazFest and stuff like that.
|
||
|
|
Um, there's some local things,
|
||
|
|
but I mean, nothing,
|
||
|
|
this is my thing.
|
||
|
|
Have you been to one where the HGAR table was?
|
||
|
|
The US HGAR table?
|
||
|
|
No, I've never seen you in the US.
|
||
|
|
We must, um,
|
||
|
|
make sure that we organize the table
|
||
|
|
so that you can go and sign the...
|
||
|
|
You know, I might be able to,
|
||
|
|
I might be able to work for you doing that,
|
||
|
|
because, you know,
|
||
|
|
Jadin...
|
||
|
|
I mean, I'm not doing much now, anyway.
|
||
|
|
Yes, it's recorded.
|
||
|
|
We have it right there.
|
||
|
|
Okay, guys, thanks for taking the time for the interview.
|
||
|
|
And was there anything else that you wanted to say?
|
||
|
|
No, that's it.
|
||
|
|
Um,
|
||
|
|
uh,
|
||
|
|
love being here, love everyone here.
|
||
|
|
And it's, it's a great event.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, we want to go.
|
||
|
|
Enjoy the rest of your stay.
|
||
|
|
Yeah.
