HPR1451: Jeremy Allison ~ the SAMBA project

HPR Coverage at FOSDEM 2014

The following are a series of interviews recorded at FOSDEM 2014.

FOSDEM is a free event that offers open source communities a place to meet, share ideas and collaborate.

Jeremy Allison ~ the SAMBA project

For some reason my Zoom H2 failed to record this interview. Based on past experience I'm more inclined to blame the operator than the device so the audio is taken from the backup recording device, a Sansa Clip. As we say at HPR, any recording is better than no recording so any strange audio artefacts are a result of that.
