* Havoc Pennington and Colin Walters from Red Hat talk about the Gnome Online Desktop project (1.23)
* Do we need rockstar programmers? Prompted by Thomas “marnanel” Thurman talking about the hard but unglamorous work that he and the rest of the Metacity team do, we discuss whether it’s a good idea to have “rockstar” hackers involved in a project (26.40)

Way too many to read, and we chose only the best — the very best email wins a LugRadio t-shirt every week, so get your mails in to [email protected], and look at lugradio.org/contact for our voicemail number and the LugRadio forums (56.58)
