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!

LI_S02E39_Nextcloud_update
The focus of this episode is an update on a FLOSS project named Nextcloud. Since the Inlaws had Frank Karlitschek, the project founder, first on the show, a lot has happened. Nextcloud evolved from a mere file-sharing solution to a full-blown collaboration suite that comes with a market place of apps, including, for example, conferencing functionality, office documents and much much more. So if you are using Nextcloud or are looking for a FLOSS collaboration suite, this show's for you. Otherwise listen to it anyway for some good old craíc (to use an Irish idiom).

LI_S02E38_Android_and_more
This show is host to Chris Simmonds, an Android enthusiast and consultant. So the discussion centers around the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), post-market operating systems in that area and privacy in general. So this is the episode you want to listen to if you don't quite want to hand over your personal life to the data holders of the world (yes, that includes you Google).

LI_S02E37_Python_on_mobiles
In this episode our two aging heroes are hosts to Tobias Wegener, a project manager in the area of Internet of Things (IoT). What started as a discussion on Python on mobile devices quickly turned into an interesting conversation about FLOSS in IoT environments, machine learning and the challenges that these environments present. Plus bonus content: A crash course on heavy water, fusion energy and other things you've always wanted to know but were afraid to ask :-).

LI_S02E36_FLOSS_goes_farming
This episode - brought in by Martin's special request - sees our two ageing heroes discuss the various aspects of FLOSS in agricultural environments (Martin almost being a farmer himself). So you're interested in one of Martin's secret lives, the Right to Repair movement and how to really jazz up a tractor, you don't want to miss this episode. Never mind a riveting discussion about size (farm sizes that is). Plus bonus content (yes, the Inlaws have spared no expense to bring you this as usual): Countess Vladessa spills the beans! On her rise to fame from a little peasant girl to one of the world's most famous vampires, vegan blood and its wholesale angle and of course - wait for it - world domination!
