Good idea. The tough thing is that there isnāt really a central place to address them all (the LugRadio forum went away many moons ago).
It seems to me what we need more of is general promotion of topics on the show. For example, in the last show (E22) we covered Creative Commons, Open Hardware, LinuxVoice and more - it would be great if our community promoted the show in different avenues went we go live. This will then help to spread the word much further.
Another potential area is to interview more famous people and encourage them to tweet about itā¦this hitting their feeds more.
Not sure if any of you presenters get invited much to other venues, if so, then there is always the shameless promotion. I do talk about the show to others. But, as most of you have come to realize, many just humor me so Iāll go away!
Jono: the forum may have gone but the Lug Radio Show website is still live. Assuming you still have access you could put an announcement on the home page with a link to this site.
Good idea - @sil, can you put a big banner or something over the top of the LR website to point out that Bad Voltage is where the action is at now?
This would be a great way of helping: just spread the word across a range of different forums. I will kick off a new thread and encourage people to share their posts.
Yes I agree that we should reach out to the JB community so they know about this show. I also think that if we are in the irc room that would help as well, not to mention posting on Reddit
Guarantee that, if you post it to the Linux Action Show sub-Reddit, it will be deleted pronto.
Looking at the traffic stats for Lunduke.com I see that there were two (new) posts to that subreddit (in the last day alone) that linked to my site. And they have already been nixed by their mods. If it has my name anywhere near it, the JB crew will delete it. Just how it works.
I am genuinely surprised at that. OK, fine, beef with you, and I wonāt delve into the details there, but the rest of us havenāt done anything. Thatās terribly petty.
Yeahā¦ But itās nothing new. That has been going on since I left. Itās no big deal really ā not like the LAS subreddit is huge or anything. Definitely rather amusing how often itās happened though. And bow howdy do they throw a hissy fit if you mention it (or even just type my name).
Maybe if someone makes a post without my name on it it might sneak through the anti-Bryan moderators?
I find this really sad and pathetic. Especially after the plug you gave after you left the show, 9 Linux podcasts you should follow | Network World and how on your blog when you left, you did not mention anything negative, but rather gave the impression that you and Chris were still friends. And then posting the nerf attack on the LAS crew at LNW on youtube. Oh well. People are people.
Hey, thatās better results than others have gotten in the past! Normally anything having to do with me just gets removed entirely. Iād jump in, but they explicitly ban me from posting thereā¦ (they prefer to be able to attack folks who canāt respond, methinks).
You know, the fact that those guys have a bit of a stick up their butts about me is really quite okay. Theyāre allowed to have stick-filled butts. Itās their right. I wish it werenāt the caseā¦ but they seem to have this strange perception of me (fuelled, in large part, by made up events ā and spread by one or two people). I think the folks at JB now just needed a villainā¦ and I was the easiest target. But, honestlyā¦ itās really okay. I donāt think (at this point) that itās worth getting into a discussion with them about it. I meanā¦ youāre more than welcome to talk to them about itā¦ but I really donāt expect it to go well.
Well, thus far the LAS reddit seems happy to discuss BV, and Chris at LAS invited me into their Mumble channel to talk about the show and things, so perhaps thereās not as much bad blood as one might have thought. Olive branches are extended, etc ā one big happy community, hooray.
