I had a lot of fun making the podcast, but it was a lot of work and listenership just never grew to the point that I felt like the investment of time and effort resulted in a product that enough readers cared about to make the effort worthwhile. I would like to bring it back, and if I come up an idea for a form that I think will resonate with readers, I'll definitely try it again.
I've left this content page up to prevent orphaning links that pointed directly to it, but eventually the podcasts linked from here won't play any more, and this page won't be accessible from inside the site.
Everyone’s favorite Rocks cluster team members, Philip Papadopoulos and Greg Bruno, were recently interviewed as a part of the FLOSS Weekly podcast show [episode 30]. They were interviewed courtesy of Randal Schwartz and Leo Laporte, formerly of TechTV fame. The questions weren’t directly focused on the traditional role of Rocks in the HPC world, but rather the interview sheds some light on some additional applicable vehicles for Rocks. Very cool!
This just goes to show that HPC is really gaining some media notoriety outside of our niche of technology.
