Ask Noah Show
Computer Crashes and Ubuntu Summit Preparations
They discuss their experience with their computer crashing and needing to replace it, as well as their preparations for the upcoming Ubuntu Summit where they will be giving a talk on Ubuntu server. They share their storage setup and their curiosity about having a single rack for technological self-sufficiency.
This week CIQ, Oracle, and SUSE have formed OpenELA, we dig into the Libera chat / Matrix bridge issues, and we discuss choosing the problems you want to solve.
