LugRadio is a British internet podcast, recorded every two weeks and published in ogg and mp3 formats.

Guests have included Ximian co-founder Nat Friedman, Google Open Source program manager Chris DiBona, Sun Head of Open Source Strategy Simon Phipps and Eric Raymond among others.

LugRadio has previously received coverage in Linux Format magazine and Linux User and Developer magazine as well as online coverage by sites such as Slashdot [1].

In 2006, LugRadio won the award for Best Marketing Campaign[2] at the UK Linux and Open Source Awards in London.

[edit] LugRadio Live

LugRadio Live is an annual event organised by the LugRadio team and held in Wolverhampton. It is a Linux, Free Software and Open Source event intended to be fun, without the corporate agendas held by other commercial events. It was first held in 2005 with 250 attendees, 14 speakers and 18 exhibitors including Ubuntu, Debian, KDE and O'Reilly.

In 2006 LugRadio Live saw around 400 attendees, over 30 speakers including Mark Shuttleworth and Michael Meeks and 27 exhibitors including Ubuntu, OpenSolaris, KDE, MythTV, Debian, Fedora and GNOME.

While two LugRadio Lives were discussed for 2007 the US version has been put on hold, due to lack of time. The gents may be making an appearance sometime and somewhere on the west coast of the US as part of another event, but work commitments may prevent even this. The typical Internet unconfirmed speculation has it as being at the Ubuntu Live event but the gents have not yet been invited to take part. The Wolverhampton event has been announced for July 7th and 8th 2007, at the Light House Media Centre, Wolverhampton.
