| ==History== | |||
| FLOSS Weekly was started by Leo Laporte, who runs the ] podcast network, and Chris DiBona, now the open source program manager at ]. FLOSS is an acronym for Free/Libre Open Source Software. The show was intended to be a weekly interview with the biggest names and influences in open source software. Episode one of ''FLOSS Weekly'' appeared on April 7, 2006. | |||
| Towards the end of 2006, episodes began to appear less frequently, dropping to a monthly basis. DiBona's newborn baby and commitments at Google were cited as reasons for the show's stagnation, and on the seventeenth episode, Laporte appealed for other co-hosts to share the burden.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly/episodes/17| title = FLOSS Weekly Episode 17| access-date = 2021-08-24| author = Leo Laporte| author-link = Leo Laporte| date = 2007-03-21| work = FLOSS Weekly| publisher = TWiT.tv}}</ref> This was DiBona's final appearance on the show as the host. He returned as a guest for the show's 100th episode.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly/episodes/100| title = FLOSS Weekly Episode 100| access-date = 2021-08-24| author = Leo Laporte| author-link = Leo Laporte| date = 2009-12-17| work = FLOSS Weekly| publisher = TWiT.tv}}</ref> | |||
| The show went on an unannounced three-month hiatus, re-appearing on July 20, 2007, with a new co-host, ],<ref>{{cite web| url=https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly/episodes/18| title = FLOSS Weekly Episode 18| access-date = 2021-08-24| author = Leo Laporte| author-link = Leo Laporte| date = 2007-06-20| work = FLOSS Weekly| publisher = TWiT.tv}}</ref> who had previously appeared on the show as a guest. Schwartz went on to take over organizing guests for the show, and restored the show to a predominantly weekly schedule (with occasional gaps from scheduling conflicts or last minute cancellations). Starting with episode 69, ] was a somewhat regular co-host, even filling in for Randal when Randal was not available. | |||
| The show was nominated for the 2009 ] in the Technology/Science category.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.podcastawards.com/ |title=2009 Podcast Awards |access-date=2009-11-21 |author=Podcast Awards |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100208134105/http://www.podcastawards.com/ |archive-date=2010-02-08 }}</ref> | |||
| In May 2010, the show began publishing a video feed (along with many of the rest of the TWiT network shows), and moved to an earlier recording time. As a result of the new recording time, Leo Laporte stepped down as the lead host, and Jono Bacon could no longer regularly co-host. | |||
| In May 2020 ] took over for Randal Schwartz. | |||
| On December 13, 2023, TWiT dropped the podcast, citing cost concerns.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3vbPHHDlOY#t=48m23s | title=We Won! - the Victories of Free Software and Open Source | website=] }}</ref> In response, the show was picked up by Hackaday, with Jonathan Bennett taking over as lead host. <ref>{{Cite web |last=By |date=2023-12-21 |title=FLOSS Weekly Episode 762: Spilling The Tea |url=https://hackaday.com/2023/12/20/floss-weekly-episode-762-spilling-the-tea/ |access-date=2023-12-21 |website=Hackaday |language=en-US}}</ref> This transition was officially endorsed by the TWiT network with a final brief release to the FLOSS Weekly RSS feed and channel.<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 11, 2024 |title=FLOSS Weekly Continues at Hackaday |url=https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly/episodes/761b}}</ref> | |||
| ==Format== | |||
| Most episodes feature the primary developer or developers of a particular open source software project. The show is an open discussion, with the host and co-host asking questions about the nature of the project. Typically, the interviewers will ask the guests about the history of the project, and its development model (such as which ] it is written in, which version control system is used, and what development environment the author uses). Some shows, such as the interviews with ] and ], are not specific to an open source project, and feature more general topics, such as the philosophy of free and open-source software. Shows begin and end with a brief discussion between the hosts, before and after calling the guest. Often the guests are interviewed via ], with Laporte's staff at TWiT being responsible for the audio recording and production. FLOSS Weekly has been supported by advertising and donations. In October 2006, FLOSS Weekly had 31,661 downloads of episode 14.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://twit.tv/posts/inside-twit/october-numbers| title = October Numbers| access-date = 2021-08-24| author = Leo Laporte| author-link = Leo Laporte| date = 2006-11-20| work = Inside TWiT| publisher = TWiT.tv| quote = FLOSS Weekly 14 31,661| archive-url = https://archive.today/20120913060819/http://www.twit.tv/2006/11/20/october_numbers| archive-date = 2012-09-13| url-status = live}}</ref> | |||
