Summary: The first episode in a long time discusses changes in form factors and the stronger points of Linux

Today we spoke about Nokia, Linux, proprietary software on GNU/Linux, and finally something about LibreOffice. We didn't prepare topics in advance, but it should be an entertaining episode nonetheless. The show closes with "Ceiling Of Plankton" (a song by Givers).
