“We’re gearing up to record our last podcast of 2010, and in
this episode we’ll be looking back on a very eventful year for the
Linux community. In our Open Ballot – which isn’t really an Open
Ballot this time, we’ll admit – we want you to tell us: what was
the biggest event in the Linux world for you? Maybe it was the
Mageia fork of Mandriva, or perhaps it was the release of MeeGo
1.0. Or maybe Ubuntu’s decision to transition away from X is your
killer moment of the last 12 months.

“Whatever it is, let us know in the comments, and we’ll read out
the funniest and/or most interesting and/or most Smiths-referencing
on air in the show. Unless you’re boring and just call yourself
Anonymous Penguin, of course.”
