Kicking Around Open Source, Part 2: Warping Time With Podcasts
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the earliest Linux-related podcasts has its roots in real-time
| Webcast. The "Linux Link Tech Show" saw its first broadcast in 2003 and bills
| itself as "The Oldest Continually Running Linux Show on the Planet." It was
| started by the founders of the Lehigh Valley Linux Users Group and counts
| among its co-hosts several academics.

When will journalist get a clue? DiDio is a paid-for Linux foe, just like
Enderle and others. Didn't the founder of the Yankee Group recently attack
Free software, calling it a religious cult?
The press can't be trusted.

| An example of her opinion on how Open Source Software is handled shows
| in this remark (quoted from a phone interview from her home in
| Massachusetts): "The thing about Linux is, you can talk about a free,
| open operating system all you want, but you can't take that idea of free
| and open and put it into a capitalist system and maintain it as though
| it is some kind of hippie commune or ashram, because if you can do it
| like that, at that point I'm like, 'Pass the hookah please!'" [1]
|
| Even recently, after admitting that a SCO victory in their case against
| IBM seemed like an extreme longshot, Didio said, "There is a larger
| issue, though: Even if the SCO case gets dismissed entirely, it does
| not remove the copyright cloud hanging over Linux and open source." [2]

| [...]
|
| Unsurprisingly, Linux advocates have in response heavily criticised
| DiDio. Typical criticisms are a lack of formal Computer Science
| qualifications and promoting studies funded by Microsoft; frequently
| this has resulted in questioning of her integrity and her being
| characterised as "a Microsoft shill".
