The new Open Source Database Podcast is a companion to the Open Source Database Magazine. Episode one has now been posted and is available for download. For now I am including the show notes below. I will post these notes on the website soon along with all future show notes.
The feed for the podcast is at http://www.osdbzine.net/podcast/osdbpodcast.xml and a direct download of the episode is available here.
Episode Summary
This is the first episode of Open Source Database Podcast. This pod cast is about both open source database servers and the people who develop and use them. The plan is for most episodes to be centered around interviews with various people in the open source community. Kicking things off with this inaugural episode is an interview with Brian Aker who is the creator of the Drizzle database.
I will apologize now for the beginning and ending of the podcast where the recording level is too loud. My only excuse is I have new equipment I am working with and I am not used to it yet!
