Summary: A mixture of news items with typical focus on operating systems and matters of transparency or scarcity

TODAY’S show in the 15th show in a month of 30 days. Rather than cover a special topic we cover a variety of news stories and have a debate about them. OpenBytes will publish our show notes soon. (Update: they are published now)
