Episode Details

In this episode our two hosts tackle the difficult subject of FLOSS in education. Beyond the ubiquitous Microsoft training courses thinly disguised as computer science classes in just too many second and third level education institutions. Plus bonus content: Chris sheds some light on his shady past as an assistant lecturer in computer science. Never mind obscure British cars. If you're into shady things never mind computer science, this is the show you don't want to miss!
