We never really said goodbye last time. How rude! Well, here comes Season 2 of Code Mongrel back to make up for it all. Thanks to the poking, prodding and goading of our persistent listeners we’re kicking off 2010 right now! A sincere thanks for all the tips, feedback, help and support from you all through Season 1 and we hope you find something to enjoy again in Code Mongrel this year.
We’re very excited to bring you this interview with Jos Poortvliet; one of the driving forces behind the marketing of KDE.

Episode 4 is out the door! This week we caught up with Jaime Hemmett and Justin Kelly in the Longstone bar in Dublin to find out what’s going to be happening at Ireland’s premier Open Source Software unconferenece – OSS Barcamp! Unfortunately we picked footie night to record the episode so you may hear some Celtic and Arsenal chanting from the plasma tv’s dotted around the pub – it all adds to the atmosphere!
A sincere apology to anyone who is finding that the podcast feed is downloading all four formats (high/low oggs/mp3s) at once. We promised we would fix this before releasing another episode but haven’t gotten the time yet. Never trust a software developer to give a realistic time estimate 
We will try to do this before the next episode. (Promise!).
And please let us know if you’ve any other other feedback via our twitter account (codemongrel) or post a comment below! We’d love to find out what you like or dislike (shock horror!) about the show.
