Mozilla wants to spin off Thunderbird & launch an iOS ad blocker that only works with Safari. Is there a master plan at work, or has the Mozilla foundation lost their way? Our virtual LUG debates.

Then our best solutions for syncing your Podcasts from your mobile to your Linux desktop & SpiderOak ditches Google.

Plus we review the new CrossOver 15 & discuss how this Linux desktop app works like no other. What nice features it offers over PlayOnLinux & standard WINE, why it’s not quite like other commercial software for Linux & more!

Show Notes:

Pre-Show:

• “Yeah, we ditched Google.”

For the past five years, we had been using Google Analytics for monitoring our web traffic. Innocent enough decision, right? Then we asked ourselves, “are we contributing to the mass surveillance of the web by using a feature-rich, yet free service that tracks web visitors?” Sadly. we didn’t like the answer to that question. “Yes, by using Google Analytics, we are furthering the erosion of privacy on the web.”

What’s Happening with Thunderbird and Mozilla?

Ideas for the integration of Thunderbird with LibreOffice

Concrete ideas of further integration of LibreOffice and Thunderbird

Changes in LibreOffice:

• Access to multiple Thunderbird address books (tdf#57873).

Changes/extensions for Thunderbird:

• Provide a theme for Thunderbird to make look and feel more similar to LibreOffice.
• Thunderbird currently does not provide a preview of documents (except for .txt and .html). A preview of ODF (and all other supported file types) could be possible via the integration of LibreOffice Kit into Thunderbird. This could be a joint Thunderbird & LibreOffice project for GSOC 2016.
• Possibility to use LibreOffice Writer as email editor in Thunderbird.
• Enable Contact Notes to supports complex formatting and pictures. Notes for a Contact in an Address Book could use LibreOffice Writer/Kit. Notes could be saved in OpenDocument format

Libreoffice Does Not Want Thunderbird

One of the reasons behind the success of the LibreOffice project is the

sharp focus on a single application, which is not going to change

anytime soon. We are already working on the Android and the Cloud

versions of LibreOffice, and this is more than enough – in term of

global effort – for a community based project. So, please avoid any

speculation based on rumors, as they might be intentionally created by

our competitors.

A new Jitsi is out, does it finally offer video calling in the Freedom Dimension? We’ll put Jitsi to the test and see if we can break out nasty Skype habit.

Then we debate: is Google trying to avoid the Linux “stigma”?

Plus we’ve got a surprise unboxing, why Valve considers “Linux an island of stability in a sea of commercial chaos”…

Jitsi 2 Review:

Brought to you by: System76

• jitsi.org | Jitsi

Pros:

• Set your video res (when it works)_
• Group video calling
• Combine multiple Google Accounts, and AIM, MSN, Yahoo, etc.
• Automatic and easy to use Encryption
• Built in MP3 Recording
• Nice sounds presets

Cons:

• Stability is a bit hit and miss

• Sharing Desktop seems to be unreliable (Google Hangouts hands down wins here).

• Does not take much freeze video, so don’t really touch much after a call is in place.

• Limited by constraints of 3rd party networks

• imgur: the simple image sharer

Chris and Mike take a look at joining an open source project, the formerly brown Ubuntu as a developer platform. Dell is getting ready to launch Sputnik, but should you jump on board or take a big old bite of a Macintosh?

Plus should the release of the iPhone 5 and the Lumia 920 turn developer heads?
