Re: [opensuse-marketing] Podcast Revisit

Hi Doug,

Storyboarding isn’t really what is generally needed in a podcast. However, as 
with any podcast, it requires content gathering, booking guests, and coming up 
with general topics. Here’s kind of what I envision:

This podcast would be a Linux podcast with an (open)SUSE-first slant. Meaning, 
it would cover all topics in Linux news in general, but the headline would 
always be something from openSUSE and/or SUSE. It would be weekly or 
semi-weekly, depending on overall time to commit.

I envision the following segment format: 
- Intro, including “what have you been up to?” for the hosts to answer.
- News from around the Linux community with discussion, with openSUSE and SUSE 
news first and headlining.
- Main topic or interview, hopefully centered around (open)SUSE
- Emails & Feedback
- END

That’s what I’ve come up with so far. As far as a launch date, it all depends 
on what we come up with here.
