LinuxLUGCast Classics Episode 20 Interview with Ken Stark

Welcome to a Classics Episode of the LinuxLUGCast Episode 20 the interview with Ken Stark from the Reglue project

So this past Friday we were supposed to have a show, but because of scheduling conflicts we decided to skip it. So instead I present to you LinuxLUGCast Classics.

This episode Originally aired on 12/05/2014 and we interviewed Ken Stark, a man who ran a project called Reglue. Reglue was a non-profit organization that refurbished old computers, put Linux on them and gave them to people who did not have access to a computer. In 2021 he hung up his spurs at Reglue. https://fossforce.com/2021/11/ken-starks-hangs-up-his-spurs-at-reglue/

you can check out our old episodes at https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22LinuxLugCast.com%22

Our next episode will be May 15th 2026

The Movie is still: On_Line  (good luck finding it)
