Hacker Public Radio (HPR) is an Internet Radio show (podcast) that releases shows every weekday Monday through Friday. What differentiates HPR from other podcasts is that the shows are produced by the community - fellow listeners like you!. There is no restrictions on how long the show can be, nor on the topic you can cover as long as they "are of interest to hackers". The only question you need to answer is will my show be of interest to hackers ?

hpr1248 :: Frank Bell Achieves Enlightenment Adventures with E17 Pt One

Hosted by Frank Bell on 2013-05-15.
Listen in ogg, spx, or mp3 format. Comments (1)

There was great rejoicing in the Linux community when the Enlightenment Desktop, v. 0.17 (AKA E17), was released recently. It was the first major upgrade in well over a decade to a desktop environment that many remembered fondly for its commitment to a visually pleasing computing experience.

Frank Bell describes how he started using Enlightenment and what he has encountered so far. In this, the first of two parts, he addresses installing Enlightenment, Enlightenment's "first-run" dialog, the structure of the desktop, the menu, and the management applications and windows on the desktop.

Part Two will focus on the nitty-gritty of configuring the appearance and behavior of Enlightenment.

hpr1242 :: What's Wrong With Free, Anyway?

Hosted by Ahuka on 2013-05-07.
Listen in ogg, spx, or mp3 format. Comments (0)

In looking at the distinction between free of charge and free as in freedom, some interesting issues emerge. I argue that free of charge is often not what we should be lookiing for if we want good software options. But because I like going the long way around behind the barn to get anywhere, I start off in the Music business.

I would like to suggest the following amendments to the scheduling
rules detailed below in ALL CAPS bellow:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
http://hackerpublicradio.org/calendar.php#normal_priority
We now release shows based on when the hosts last had a show aired.
This brings new hosts and returning hosts to the top of the queue to
encourage their efforts, and it also spreads out shows submitted in
batches and gives a wider variety of hosts. Once a host is determined,
the first show uploaded by that host is released. If you wish your
shows to be released in a particular order then make sure you make that
obvious in the title and by emailing admin@hackerpublicradio.org.
You can swap the order of the shows but it involves additional effort
and is frowned upon :).
WHERE POSSIBLE WE WILL NOT RELEASE SHOWS FROM THE SAME HOST IN ANY ONE
WEEK.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

http://hackerpublicradio.org/calendar.php#synicated_shows
Syndicated Shows
We will continue to promote new podcasts and other creative commons
material but due to a lack of slots, we are only releasing material
created exclusively for HPR. If there is a piece of creative commons
content that you would like to promote, then feel free to record a
regular show where you introduce the content and explain why it is
important and providing links to where we can get more information.
THESE SHOWS CAN BE RELEASED EITHER UNDER YOUR OWN NAME OR UNDER
THE GENERIC HOST CALLED "VARIOUS CREATIVE COMMONS WORKS" (HOSTID 158)  
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The amendment "WHERE POSSIBLE WE WILL NOT RELEASE SHOWS FROM THE SAME
HOST IN ANY ONE WEEK." had been included prior to the changes in
January, but I would like to put it back.

The amendment "THESE SHOWS WILL CAN BE RELEASED EITHER UNDER YOUR
OWN NAME OR UNDER THE GENERIC HOST CALLED "VARIOUS CREATIVE COMMONS
WORKS" was discussed in the mail list under the title of "Various
Creative Commons Works" but the discussions got derailed. 

Please keep discussion to these two points only. 

As always Silence, or no comment is assumed to be approval.

Ken.

Also the addition of the following text to the Scheduling Rules: 
Please be aware that we cannot predict when your show will be out, but 
sooner of later it will be released. Sometimes a new host will jump to 
the top of the queue, while other hosts seem to be waiting a long time. 
This is because all the shows at HPR are scheduled according to the 
Scheduling Guidelines, which apply to everyone without exception.
