Speaking Engagement (July 26th): Linux Desktop Podcasting Basics at PenLUG
I would like to invite everyone who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area who’s interested learning about using their Linux Desktop as a podcasting development platform to come to the PenLUG meeting on July 26th at 7pm in Redwood City (directions). In this presentation, I’ll be covering what podcasting is, how it’s distributed, how to record, which equipment to buy, how to use VoIP clients and traditional phones to record interviews, where/how to get music samples, intro to Audacity, intro to EasyTAG, and how to publish your recordings via your Wordpress blog. To say the least, everyone who attends is going to get a healthy serving of information that should prepare them to enter the exciting world of podcasting.
UPDATE 1: A photoset of the night’s event can now be found in my Flickr photo album (mostly pics of me chatting away behind the speaker desk). In addition, a Google Video of the presentation (including what was shown on screen) should be available soon as soon as PenLUG’s Bill Ward finishes the editing. I’ll post it here as soon as it’s up.
UPDATE 2: I don’t know what’s going on with the video. I’ve got to ping Bill and get a status update.

About
Alexander Grundner is a San Francisco Peninsula based web publisher who spends most of his time tracking down news stories for eHomeUprade, attending technology events, or working on his next big project.
For fun he likes to stay active outdoors, take photographs, shoot video, hack together PHP/Python code, play with Linux, and test new technologies.
Are you actively podcasting and I’ve missed that somehow?
Lately, I haven’t on eHomeUpgrade. Both Ian Dixon (The Digital Lifestyle and Media Center Show) and Michael Wolf (The Media Center Show) have the media center and connected home entertainment podcast space covered. Although, I did enjoy my last interviews with the Electronic Fountier Foundation, DefectiveByDesign, and the Open Rights Group. I felt they had important messages to get out. But this presentation was one that I’ve talked about doing for my local Linux user group for some time that I finally got the opportunity to do. It ended up being quite a lot fun!
