We went a bit over on time this week but I'm sure we'll be bringing that down again. I think we have to be more realistic about how many topics and features we can fit into the show. It'll take some experimentation to work that out. Stay tuned :) @Ben – Thanks for the comment. We went a bit over on time this week but I’m sure we’ll be bringing that down again.

As for the impact of Linux - you're quite right, and we still are a rather marginal group in many respects. Even people faced with bleeping computers often just shudder at the thought of trying or even looking at something that doesn't show XP at boot time.

We also want to know what it was like working for the company and what he has learnt from being a "community manager", what really is a community manager and what do they do. The interview was scheduled for 2 or 3 weeks ago, but we had to push it back with Fab's loss of voice. I think the questions are still relevant. It's not quite a year since Zonker was last on. It was July 2009 but time does fly you're right. @Julian – Oh yes the idea of getting him on originally was to ask why he left Novell, what he’s going to do now and all of that.

Has it been one year? :o ) It was more a kind of ironical statement, hence the Novell bashing comment. Regarding the questions I was more referring to the reasons he left Novell, and especially what he's planning to do next. He just mentioned "moving on" as far as I know. He left quite a big hole at Novell, and I wonder where "The Zonker" will go next, he's one of the more famous persons in open source after all, even outside the openSUSE community. Well, just do what you always do with show guests, and I'm sure it'll be enjoyable :) @Dan – Yeah I remember that episode (wow, time is flying. Has it been one year? :o )

I interviewed him in person. We'll ask any questions that we feel need to be asked. He's not with Novell any more though after all. @Julian – He was on the show last year at Linux Tag.

Sounds like awesome Novell bashing! ;D No seriously, it's cool you have him on the show, but don't forget to ask the important questions :) Can't wait for it! Interview with Zonker?
