Contributing to Linux and the Open Source movement can come in many guises. Programming, filing bugs, translating, blogging, and of course podcasting! In this day and age, jumping behind a mic and speaking isn’t really hard, whats hard is actually sticking out of the clutter. Here are 5 podcasts that made an unknown blogger from Saudi Arabia jump out of bed at 4 in the morning to write about them! now thats sticking out of the clutter! So without further ado, I give you 5 podcast that you should be listening to:
