This is a feature cast, an episode of The Command Line Podcast.

This month, save for Balticon towards the end, should be pretty quiet.

Listener feedback this week was from Ralph looking for information on Commottion Wireless; Jon, ConFigures and Jim on the meaning of feeling your oats with relation to its original usage; Charles on the question of failure despite feeling your oats; and Daniel who was asking about a podcast on how I produce the podcast.

The hacker word of the week this week is foreground.

The feature this week is another monologue trying to bring to the surface my hackish assumptions, this time on how I see the suggestion of meritocracy in the FLOSS world.
