Scheduling Rules update

Shows will be released based on the following rules that gives content produced for HPR priority, while avoiding having any one host/series repeated in a week. Hosts are encouraged to release their shows on other feeds after uploading them to HPR.

1. Time critical
   Where the host has requested a show to be posted at a particular time or that the show contains newsworthy information.
2. Scheduled Slots
   Where a host has been assigned a regular day to release a show.
3. New Hosts
   In order to encourage new hosts we will prioritize shows submitted from new hosts so they can experience the excitment of podcasting.
4. HPR Content on a First in First Out basis.

Syndicated shows will be released on their own scheduled slot following the same rules as above.

HPR Stickers

Hot off the press !
The HPR stickers have been distributed to our Global distribution network in North America, Europe and Australia.
For anyone else on this who wants them, now is the time to ask; before they all get handed out at the first couple of Linux fests. They're free as in beer btw.
We're also sending stickers out to the other podcasters who promoted HPR in the past.

Audio Book Club

Several of the HPR contributors in the IRC channel have formed the beginning of an audio-book club. We'll be doing reviews which include spoilers, so I was wondering if you could announce our first audio-book title in case anyone wanted to listen to it before we spoiled it on them. We're hoping this will become a(n ir)regular show for HPR, but we'll see how the first one goes. All audio-books that we review will be free (as in beer) and easily available, so the barrier to entry for the listeners and participants will just be the time involved in listening to the audio. The first audio book is a short one. It runs about 3.5 hours total, and I can tell you it is a very good book which will appeal to both science fiction fans and political critics alike.

The book is Badge Of Infamy by Lester Del Rey and read by Steven Wilson. It is available from podiobooks.com. The direct url is https://www.podiobooks.com/title/badge-of-infamy.

From podiobooks.com: "Daniel Feldman was a doctor once. He made the mistake of saving a friend's life in violation of Medical Lobby rules. Now, he's a pariah, shunned by all, forbidden to touch another patient. But things are more loose on Mars. There, Doc Feldman is welcomed by the colonists, even as he's hunted by the authorities. But, when he discovers a Martian plague may soon wipe out humanity on two planets, the authorities begin hunting him for a different reason altogether."

We'll be announcing the next book at the end of our first show.

Site improvements

• Each hosts have their own folder ie: hackerpublicradio.org/droops/
• Vimeo Group https://vimeo.com/channels/hpr
• Site redesign more up-to-date looking.
• All comments and posts need a rel=nofollow tag on links.
• All the RSS feed needs to be put in the address bar
• Each episode title link should link to the individual show page
• A separate link/graphic should play the audio, maybe have a built in player and a download link.
• Each episode should have a unique url with the shows title in it, ie hackerpublicradio.org/geocaching_with_droops/
• We need more of a call to action about recording a show, its kinda hidden.
• The total comment viewer needs to link to the episode page, so that people can see all of the comments about the episode.
• A way to upload our episodes and automate everything.
• We also need the ability for the hosts to add episodes of hpr and other shows to a "Select" RSS feed. This way, when we find something super cool that someone else recorded, we can share it with the community.

News from the Admin Channel

HPR is been blocked by some companies because they can filter the find the word hacker - money well spent. During the spam fest, HPR got listed on sites as a source of malware. I've been contacting the sites but each blames the next one for the listing and the trail runs cold.

I registered Hobby Public Radio but cPanel doesn't seem to have a way to have HackerPublicRadio and HobbyPublicRadio served from the same directory.

Question: Off the shelf or Self Build ?

• Can we make a HPR site using standard Wordpress plugins ?
  • User account management
  • Podcast plugins
  • Released according to a schedule
• email from the server is broken through cPanel and this is delaying up automation
• Any PHP programmers want to help
• Proposal to make droops, finux, klaatu admins
• Still no update on the Ice Cast server
