I find it interesting that you chose iTunes, proprietary software, as a

And iTunes, to my knowledge, supports only MP3, a patent-encumbered
format, for podcasts. Interesting indeed.

In fairness, he has Ogg Vorbis available. And as much as we might
loathe MP3 for its encumbrances, if the point is to reach out to people,
we're not going to accomplish that by only publishing Ogg Vorbis. Now
if we could harness the loathing to get Apple to support Ogg natively on
the iPod.... (And yes, I realize this has been tried before, ultimately
with no result. A guy can dream, right?)

I agree with this. As long as community members are producing Ogg
Vorbis and Ogg Theora versions of materials as a primary resource, its
perfectly okay for them to replicate the same material into other
formats, as long as they do so in a legal manner. For example
archive.org has a transcoding service which anyone can use to
transcode works, as long as the copyright license on the work allows
you to.

All I ask is that community members make an effort to link/pointer to
the Ogg Vorbis or Ogg Theora videos when other formats are made
available whenever it is reasonable to provide that additional
contextual information.

Without remarking on the quality of this particular podcast...or on
itunes as a distribution medium. I will say that I hope that Mark
here gets involved in what Jon is trying to do with our Miro channel
and starts experimenting with providing Fedora user relevant content
through that mechanism. Itunes maybe a reasonable tool for outreach
to people who have yet taken the plunge, but we also need creative
people (ie not me) working on content aimed at people who are actively
running Fedora. A set of Fedora Miro channel(s), is probably the best
delivery mechanism we have identified. Though we could of course
pre-populate other applications like gpodder with a Fedora podcast
feed if we so desired. Being the gpodder maintainer, something I'm
willing to do for F10 if we feel comfortable about the quality of the
content in the channel.

I would like to challenge Mark to think about delivering a periodic
Ogg Vorbis podcast for our Miro channel, with content that is targeted
at our existing userbase. I would also humbly suggest that if he were
going to take up the challenge, that he attempt to survey people on
the fedora-list and possible the fedoraforum.org forums for feedback
as to the sort of podcast content that would be compelling to a wide
audience in our existing userbase.

I need more coffee... why did I write his name as Mark, instead of
Markus.I apologize for taking such liberties with another person's
name.

I've also dropped a message to the people doing the Fedora Reloaded
podcast and invited them to drop by the marketing-list...

Best,

I thought you might just do that.

There's some untapped potential here for sure. I think people should
get their heads together as a bigger team and layout a plan for what
content to produce over the course of the F10 release cycle. We
definitely have the tools in-distro for audio casting of reasonable
quality. The video stuff is going to be a harder slog, given the
state of the tools we can ship. But I think its a worthwhile slog, and
I hope that as we beat our heads against the brick wall a bit out in
the open, trying to get useful video out the door, we'll attract the
people who will find that the video tools are the itch they want to
scratch..but they just don't realize it yet because no one has told
them has pointed out to them yet just how itchy that particular part
of our ecosystem is.
