Dear Council In view of our discussion about the future of the podcast. I have distilled our thinking into a statement for the commnunity ( below ).
The following changes will be made Change YouTube channel name from 'Kubuntu Podcast' to simply 'Kubuntu'. Change 'Podcast' on website to 'Cafe Live' - Update the page description, and link to the Calendar Post the narrative ( os similar ) to News on Kubuntu website Cheers Rick Kubuntu Friends As your probably aware we've been experimenting over the last couple of years with Podcasts, Parties, and Dojo's using the rather good Big Blue Button conference server, which bigbluebutton.org provide for us. The Podcast team, and Kubuntu Council have conducted a review of what works and what does not, and drawn the following conclusions. 1 - The Podcast scores little traction, in the audio podcast world, and low view counts on YouTube 2 - The pre-podcast show provides a welcome platform for Kubuntu Developers to prepare news for the community 3 - The live Party, Dojo experience is regarded in a very positive light 4 - The Kubuntu Community does not currently posses suitable Editing and Production capabilities However, we recognise that the shared experience of gathering in a virtual environment which enables engagement and inclusion in real time, using text chat, audio, video or any combination there of has been the most rewarding pattern used. Thus we the Kubuntu Community are delighted to introduce "Kubuntu Cafe` Live". This new live community get together will merge the best qualities from our previous experiments. The format will be loose, but will be hosted by various members from the Kubuntu community, including the Podcast Team. The shows will be recorded and uploaded 'unedited' to the Kubuntu Podcast YouTube channel, which itself has been renamed to just 'Kubuntu' Kubuntu Cafe Live will take place on the first Saturday of each month at 21:00 UTC, we hope this offers the widest scope for inclusion across global time zones.
