Presenters
Fabian Scherschel
Fabian Scherschel is a university student from Bonn, Germany who works part-time as a tech support for a large ISP and otherwise spends his time hacking stuff, listening to rock music, or watching Firefly. He is currently running his own Xubuntu remix on his main system.[2] Fabian's main Web/Blogsite is currently LinuxOutlaws.net.[1]
Dan Lynch
Dan Lynch is a programmer, musician, and full-time layabout from Merseyside, UK. He used to work for the NHS as a .NET developer before turning his back on the Dark Side to become an open source enthusiast. He has been committed to the open source ethos ever since. Dan's Linux-focused website is currently Adventures in Open Source. Dan interviewed O'Reilly[2] at LUG Radio Live
Format
Each episode generally has a global download count of over 2000 and is often presented with both a serious attitude and a humorous bent.[3] Both Dan and Fabian are described as "down to earth, normal, everyday people" by listeners and reviewers alike[4]. The presenters claim not to be Linux experts, but only to be trying very hard to provide listeners with a good time, entertainment, and interesting Linux-related information.
Linux Outlaws is segment-based, and focuses the show on discussion of various topics throughout the show. Regular features include News and Releases, a look at recent development in free culture and at new releases of Linux distributions and occasionally notable piece of free software. Episode 43 saw the introduction of a Micro-watch sub-segment, concentrating on Microsoft-related news.[5]. The Linux Outlaws show aims to broadcast live on ustream.tv most Monday nights (7pm GMT) but they are always late.
In-Depth Topics and Listener Feedback includes content from both presenters and listeners. Other segments include Tip of the Week and Beer of the Week, where Fabian recommends a brand of beer.
On occasion some shows are produced as specials to focus on one single topic, including the release of Ubuntu 8.04 and an interview with Bradley M. Kuhn.[6][7]
History
The first episode of Linux Outlaws was September 5 2007. At the time both Dan and Fab were also hosting another Podcast "Rathole radio" [3]. As Stefano Forenza says on his website "you know you’re someone when you get cited 2 times in a single episode of LinuxOutlaws" [8].
Production
Linux Outlaws is recorded simultaneously by the presenters in their respective homes - Bonn, Germany and Merseyside, England - and published in both the Ogg Vorbis and MP3 formats. The process involves recordings made by each presenter on his own machine, as well as a backup analogue recording by Fabian.[9] Recordings are usually made on Monday in a live show, using IRC and releases of the show usually occur on Wednesday. Some changes in schedule may occur when a special show is released, such as an interview.
