Podcast Episode 13 - An Interview with Bill Fitzgerald about OpenAcademic

December 20, 2006

Bill Fitzgerald sure is a nice guy! I had a great time chatting with him this morning in what turned out to be the first recorded Open Source Classroom dot com Interview! We talked about OpenAcademic which I have posted about recently. There aren’t a whole lot of details available on the inner workings of the project so I went to the source. The project centers around OpenID which particularly interests me since I have had to prune Drupal out for my kids to prevent having to enter that many user names and passwords. OpenID would solve all that, although there are still a few practical questions lingering in my head. That’s a later conversation, though. Towards the end of the interview, he even gives a potential release date!
Let me know if you like the interview and whether or not you think I should continue these!
