This is the first episode with the new hosts, and the first time we've moved to Mac for editing! I hope everyone enjoys this episode, and yes, keep those emails coming!

Also, as said in the podcast, we have a new website at http://podcast.openfirst.org . Go check it out and see what we have to offer. Over the next few days we plan on having it up and fully working with show notes, guests, and links for all the shows!

Thanks for the 'thanks'. You guys can cancel your road trip to hurt me, now that the new server is up & running. Thanks for going over some of the ChiefDelphi rules and general etiquette, too .. it definitely helps.

[Michelle Celio]

Figures you'd release it when i have no internet at home >.< frigging modems.

I look foward to downloading it and listing to it soon. or i could always call up adam and have him recite it to me =]

[Greg Marra]

I know you guys like to edit them to get the length down, but I think you take out too much of the silence. People respond to each other unnaturally quickly, and there is an air of 'falseness' around it. Personally, I feel it would be better to not edit it at all and just have you all not leave dead space in the first place . If you do continue to edit it though, consider leaving a bit more pause between speakers to give my brain time to catch up.

Keep up the good work.

Oopsy. My bad. I'll fix that now.

[Matt Krass]

A road trip? I'm not sure why....everything's done with the magic of the internet.

As far as being a guest, anybody who wants to be a guest, or do an announcement or anything on the show should contact us by email at firstpodcast@gmail.com. Due to the nature of the "behind-the-scenes" parts of the show that is the only way you will be able to discuss such matters, public posts and PMs will not be accepted, nor IMs. Using our email provides us with a private, secure link with records of everything.

Also, we'd like to thank John and Joe, they did a great job as new hosts and I'm glad everyone liked it. We need topics for the rest of our shows and suggestions are welcome, we've already received some by email and we'd appreciate as much as we can. You guys make the show, we do what you want us to.

Now back to beating..I mean calibrating the CMUcam....

[Conor Ryan]

Nice job you pulled one off without me great show, oh Matt your looking for the first person to get hit by the Poof Balls unexpectedly...yeah, firing squad victim.

Anyway, great show, editing was great job Joe, I know what it's like. Great conversation you guys got going. I'll send you some questions for next show, and I'll look into some field reporting for you guys.
